MRTA raids in Caco and Sheshea ravines
The MRTA conducted raids in the Caco and Sheshea ravines in 1988, preceding the arrival of the PCP-Sendero Luminoso in the Ucayali River area between 1989 and 1990.
In 1988, the first MRTA (Movimiento Revolucionario Túpac Amaru) incursions were recorded in the Caco and Sheshea ravines in the Ucayali region. This MRTA presence preceded the arrival of the PCP-Sendero Luminoso in the Ucayali River, which occurred between the end of 1989 and the beginning of 1990. The MRTA incursions were part of the broader context of political violence that affected the Amazon region during the internal armed conflict. Unlike what happened with the Cashibo-Cacataibo communities against the PCP-SL, the report does not detail the specific consequences of these MRTA incursions in the aforementioned ravines.
