The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People's Army (Spanish: Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – Ejército del Pueblo), also known by the acronym of FARC or FARC-EP, is a Marxist–Leninist revolutionary guerrilla organization based in Colombia, which is involved in the nearly five decade ongoing Colombian armed conflict.
FARC-EP is a peasant army which has proclaimed itself to be a revolutionary agrarian, anti-imperialist Marxist-Leninist organization of Bolivarian inspiration. It claims to represent the rural poor in a struggle against Colombia's wealthier classes, and opposes United States influence in Colombia (e.g. Plan Colombia), neo-imperialism, monopolization of natural resources by multinational corporations, and paramilitary or government violence. It funds itself principally through ransom kidnappings, gold mining and taxation of the illegal drug trade.
FARC officially disbanded in June 2017 after agreeing to peace negotiations with the Colombian government the previous year. However, thousands of FARC dissidents still take on FARC's original doctrine and continue with drug trafficking and occasional guerrilla attacks.
It is rumored FARC was involved in the financing and training of guerrilla fighters for the Paraguayan People's Army, a Marxist organization that has been waging an insurgency in Paraguay since 2005. At least one FARC officer, Orley Jurado Palomino, has been confirmed as being involved with the group.
