A "Rebel Group" refers to a faction that opposes the established government or authority in a country. These groups often seek to change political systems, gain independence, or address grievances through various means, including protests, armed conflict, or political negotiations. Their motivations can range from social justice to ethnic or religious identity. Rebel groups can vary significantly in size, organization, and ideology. Some may operate as formal military units, while others function as loose networks of activists. Notable examples include the FARC in Colombia and the Sierra Leone Civil Defense Forces. Each group has its unique history and objectives, influencing the regions they operate in.
