Establishment of military base in Chapi
In December 1987, a military base was established in Chapi under the command of Major Miguel Seminario Ayacuchano, who implemented a policy of non-violence against the civilian population, allowing the return of 150 people and the repopulation of the place renamed Belén de Chapi.
At the end of 1987, a military base was established in Chapi, allowing the return of approximately 150 people to the area. The significant change occurred with the arrival of Major Miguel Seminario Ayacuchano, appointed as head of the Chapi base between October and December 1987. This Major implemented a different policy, prohibiting the beatings of detainees, torture and executions that had characterized previous military actions. Major Ayacuchano gathers the people dispersed in the mountains and repopulates Chapi before December 25, 1987, changing the name of the place to Belén de Chapi for the Christmas holiday. This new military policy achieves "some pacification" in the area.
