Military control of San Martin handed over to the FFAA
The government hands over to the Armed Forces the political-military control of the entire department of San Martin in response to the armed actions of the MRTA in the northeastern jungle of the country.
In the face of MRTA's armed actions in the northeastern jungle of the country, the government proceeds to hand over to the Armed Forces the political-military control of the entire department of San Martin. This decision comes after a column of seventy MRTA members seized several localities in the department, including Juanjui, San Jose de Sisa, Shatoja, San Martin de Alao and other localities in Requena during the first days of November. Military control was transferred in response to the intensification of MRTA operations in the region.
