FARC resumes armed campaign7 Oct 2019 13:26
Danilo Alvizú commander of a newly mobilized combat unit of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the Marxist guerrillas who laid down their weapons in Colombia three years ago after decades of fierce fighting and negotiated a peace agreement with the government.
Alvizú says that in Putumayo alone there are 500 armed guerrillas ready for action, and supposedly 2,000 of them throughout the country. Nobody can reliably verify these numbers. It is known, however, that ELN, a smaller guerilla force that refused to join the peace process, has already announced its intention to cooperate with the new FARC. That would be about 3,000 fighters.
