Appearance of military bases in Tulumayo, Nuevo Progreso, Pizana and Punta Arenas
In 1989, Peruvian army military bases appeared in Tulumayo, Nuevo Progreso, Pizana and Punta Arenas under the command of General Alberto Arciniegas Huby. These bases were used to drive the Shining Path supporters away from the Marginal Highway and to dismantle the PCP-SL's parallel popular power committees.
In 1989, following the second attack on Uchiza in March of that year, the political-military headquarters was installed under the command of General Alberto Arciniegas Huby. That year, military bases appeared in Tulumayo, Nuevo Progreso, Pizana and Punta Arenas, which would serve to keep the Senderistas further away from the Marginal Highway. From their bases, the army was already dismantling the committees of parallel popular power (CPPP) that in a short time would deprive the PCP-SL of its surveillance network, undermining its ability to operate in urban centers and making it difficult to follow the activities of the signatures.
