FARC, or the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, is a Marxist-Leninist guerrilla group founded in 1964. Initially formed to promote agrarian reform and social justice, it has been involved in armed conflict against the Colombian government for decades. The group has been known for its involvement in drug trafficking, kidnappings, and extortion to fund its activities. In 2016, FARC signed a peace agreement with the Colombian government, leading to the disarmament of its fighters and the transition to a political party. This historic agreement aimed to end decades of violence and promote reconciliation in Colombia, although challenges remain in fully implementing the terms.
