The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, also known by its Spanish acronym FARC, was a Marxist-Leninist militant group that operated in Colombia for over five decades. Throughout their history, the group evolved and splintered into different factions, making it difficult to pin down a single synonym. Some terms used to describe the group include guerrillas, insurgents, rebels, militants, and terrorists, depending on the perspective of the speaker. Despite its dissolution in 2017, the legacy of FARC continues to shape Colombia's history and politics, as the country works to address the aftermath of the conflict and promote a future of peace and reconciliation.
