New People's Army

The New People’s Army (NPA) is a guerrilla group in the Philippines that was founded in 1969 by the Communist Party of the Philippines. It aims to overthrow the government and establish a communist society through armed struggle. The NPA conducts guerrilla warfare, including attacks on military and police targets, to promote its revolutionary goals. The group seeks to represent rural poor communities and advocates for social justice, but it is classified as a terrorist organization by the Philippine government and other countries. The conflict has persisted for decades, affecting peace and security in the region.
