PCP-SL incursions into Cutivireni
Beginning in 1988, the PCP-SL began systematic incursions into Cutivireni to indoctrinate and recruit the Ashaninka population. The community resisted these attacks until 1991, when 169 people were evacuated by air to the Urubamba Valley.
Since 1988, the PCP-SL made incursions into the Asháninka community of Cutivireni, where it indoctrinated the population and recruited young people. The incursions, looting, kidnappings of young people and assassinations of opponents multiplied progressively. The community of Cutivireni showed greater resistance to the advance of the PCP-SL along with the communities of the lower Tambo, which is why they suffered repeated attacks. After suffering several attacks, the Asháninka who had not joined the PCP-SL fled to the bush, to a higher part of the valley called Tzibokiroato. Finally, in September 1991, a group of 169 Asháninka from Cutivireni were transferred by air to the Urubamba valley with the support of Franciscan Father Mariano Gagnon.
