Operation Condor was a covert campaign initiated in the 1970s by several South American governments, including those of Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil. Its primary goal was to eliminate leftist opposition and suppress political dissent during a time of military dictatorships in the region. The operation involved intelligence sharing, coordinated actions, and the use of torture and assassination against perceived enemies. The operation was supported by the United States, which provided training and resources to the participating countries. Thousands of individuals were targeted, leading to widespread human rights violations, including forced disappearances and extrajudicial killings. Operation Condor has left a lasting impact on the political landscape and memory of the affected nations.
