FARC
The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia—People's Army (Spanish: Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia—Ejército del Pueblo, FARC–EP and FARC) is a guerrilla movement involved in the continuing Colombian armed conflict since 1964. It has been known to employ a variety of military tactics in addition to more unconventional methods, including terrorism. The FARC–EP claim to be an army of peasant Marxist–Leninists with a political platform of agrarianism and anti-imperialism. The operations of the FARC–EP are funded by kidnap and ransom; illegal mining;extortion and/or taxation of various forms of economic activity; and the taxation, production, and distribution of illegal drugs.
The strength of the FARC–EP forces is indeterminate; in 2007, the FARC said they were an armed force of 18,000 men and women; in 2010, the Colombian military calculated that FARC forces consisted of approximately 13,800 members, 50 percent of whom were armed guerrilla combatants; and, in 2011, the President of Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos, said that FARC–EP forces comprised fewer than 10,000 members. In 2013 it was reported that 26,648 FARC and ELN members had decided to demobilize since 2002. According to a report from Human Rights Watch, approximately 20–30% of the recruits are minors, most of whom are forced to join the FARC. The greatest concentrations of FARC forces are in the southeastern regions of Colombia's 500,000 square kilometers (190,000 sq mi) of jungle, in the plains at the base of the Andean mountain chain and in northwestern Colombia. However, the FARC and the ELN (National Liberation Army of Colombia) lost control of the territory, forcing them to hide primarily in remote areas in the jungle.

Life inside Colombia's FARC
The leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia have been embroiled in conflict with government forces for nearly five decades. The cat-and-mouse violence was believed to be coming to an end, as government troops killed several of FARC's leaders in recent years - but the rebels, driven into the jungle and mountain regions, have proven far from defeated. Karl Penhaul, reporting for Al Jazeera, tracked down one of the FARC's fighting units, spending 10 days among them to learn more about their motivations, goals and tactics. At Al Jazeera English, we focus on people and events that affect people's lives. We bring topics to light that often go under-reported, listening to all sides of the story and giving a 'voice to the voiceless.' Reaching more than 270 million households in over ...

Is Colombia really at peace? Even three years after the peace treaty, there is no clear answer. The documentary charts the ongoing conflict between the FARC guerillas and government, which is still fueled by war and social inequality.
Bogotá, 2016: the year that will go down in Colombian history books. After some five decades of civil war, the Marxist FARC guerrillas and the government signed a historic peace agreement before eyes of the world. It could have ended not only the armed conflict, but also the yawning gap between rich and poor in Colombia. A nationwide referendum at the beginning of October 2016 was supposed to give the government democratic legitimacy for the move and approval was considered certain. But then the unbelievable happened: The Colombian population rejected the agreement with the FARC rebels by a wafer-thin majority. It was a huge shock for the South American country, where the civil war had cost at least 220,000 lives and made six million people homeless. After nationwide student demonstrations, a new, revised peace treaty was finally signed in November 2016. Filmmaker Uli Stelzner followed the dramatic events of 2016 and the difficult process of implementing the agreement. Colombia may officially be at peace, but the country still knows no rest.

Is Colombia really at peace? Even three years after the peace treaty, there is no clear answer. The documentary charts the ongoing conflict between the FARC guerillas and government, which is still fueled by war and social inequality.
Bogotá, 2016: the year that will go down in Colombian history books. After some five decades of civil war, the Marxist FARC guerrillas and the government signed a historic peace agreement before eyes of the world. It could have ended not only the armed conflict, but also the yawning gap between rich and poor in Colombia. A nationwide referendum at the beginning of October 2016 was supposed to give the government democratic legitimacy for the move and approval was considered certain. But then the unbelievable happened: The Colombian population rejected the agreement with the FARC rebels by a wafer-thin majority. It was a huge shock for the South American country, where the civil war had cost at least 220,000 lives and made six million people homeless. After nationwide student demonstrations, a new, revised peace treaty was finally signed in November 2016. Filmmaker Uli Stelzner followed the dramatic events of 2016 and the difficult process of implementing the agreement. Colombia may officially be at peace, but the country still knows no rest.

Leftist FARC rebels in Colombia say they have captured a US soldier and are offering to release him as a "gesture" towards peace.
Kevin Scott Sutay was apparently taken last month in Retorno, in the southern department of Guaviare.
The rebels have requested a humanitarian mission in return for the soldier's release.
Peace talks between the FARC and the Colombian government got underway in the Cuban capital Havana in November. It is the fourth attempt since the 1980s.

The leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia have been embroiled in conflict with government forces for nearly five decades.
The cat-and-mouse violence was believed to be coming to an end, as government troops killed several of FARC's leaders in recent years - but the rebels, driven into the jungle and mountain regions, have proven far from defeated.
Karl Penhaul, reporting for Al Jazeera, tracked down one of the FARC's fighting units, spending 10 days among them to learn more about their motivations, goals and tactics.

With rare and exclusive access, the Guardian joins one of the Farc’s remaining rebel cells deep in the Colombian jungle as guerrillas contemplate the final days of their dying revolution. After 51 years of armed struggle and numerous attempts at peace, the revolutionaries’ rapidly dwindling numbers have resolved into a hard core of hold-out cells, still on the run and deeply reluctant to give up their guns.

On October 2, the Colombian people voted to reject a peace deal between the Colombian government and the FARC. But who are the FARC? AEI Visiting Fellow Roger Noriega explains that the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) is a rebel group founded to undermine democracy in Columbia. As both parties return to the negotiating table in search of a new peace agreement, Noriega explains the group’s criminal and political history and what a peace deal would mean for Colombia.
This is part two in a series of In 60 Seconds videos about the Colombian peace deal. Check out the rest of the series.

Colombia has been in the throes of a six-decade-long armed conflict with rebel groups. In 2016, a peace deal was reached with the biggest group, but was rejected by the Colombian people in a referendum.
Now, a handful of remaining rebel groups are holding talks with Colombia's first leftist president, Gustavo Petro, who has been trying to finalise peace deals before his term ends in 2026.

FARC
The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia—People's Army (Spanish: Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia—Ejército del Pueblo, FARC–EP and FARC) is a guerrilla movement involved in the continuing Colombian armed conflict since 1964. It has been known to employ a variety of military tactics in addition to more unconventional methods, including terrorism. The FARC–EP claim to be an army of peasant Marxist–Leninists with a political platform of agrarianism and anti-imperialism. The operations of the FARC–EP are funded by kidnap and ransom; illegal mining;extortion and/or taxation of various forms of economic activity; and the taxation, production, and distribution of illegal drugs.
The strength of the FARC–EP forces is indeterminate; in 2007, the FARC said they were an armed force of 18,000 men and women; in 2010, the Colombian military calculated that FARC forces consisted of approximately 13,800 members, 50 percent of whom were armed guerrilla combatants; and, in 2011, the President of Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos, said that FARC–EP forces comprised fewer than 10,000 members. In 2013 it was reported that 26,648 FARC and ELN members had decided to demobilize since 2002. According to a report from Human Rights Watch, approximately 20–30% of the recruits are minors, most of whom are forced to join the FARC. The greatest concentrations of FARC forces are in the southeastern regions of Colombia's 500,000 square kilometers (190,000 sq mi) of jungle, in the plains at the base of the Andean mountain chain and in northwestern Colombia. However, the FARC and the ELN (National Liberation Army of Colombia) lost control of the territory, forcing them to hide primarily in remote areas in the jungle.
