FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia)

FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia) was a guerrilla movement founded in 1964 aiming to promote communist ideals and address social inequalities in Colombia. Over decades, they engaged in armed conflict with the government, involving activities like insurgency, kidnapping, and drug trafficking. Peace processes led to disarmament agreements around 2016, transforming the group into a political organization. The FARC's history is complex, reflecting Colombia’s struggles with violence, social injustice, and efforts toward peace and reconciliation.
