Colombian Guerrillas Threaten US After Venezuela Attack: A Modern Insurgency?
Following the U.S. military operation in Venezuela, both the ELN and dissident FARC factions issued defiant statements condemning the action as a violation of regional sovereignty and vowing armed resistance. The ELN expressed solidarity with the Venezuelan government, calling on Latin American nations to reject U.S. aggression. The dissident FARC members echoed this call, stating their readiness to fight against the U.S. “empire.” These statements followed the capture of Nicolás Maduro, leading to heightened concerns about the potential for further U.S. military actions in the region, particularly in neighboring Colombia.
