12 days till' ramadan

does man care

@Punished Elías how come colombia is the only latam country being bothered by communist guerillas? they were active even before chavez right?

Weren't there others and doesn't Farc operate in multiple countries

Well, there are numerous commie guerrillas

Or rathe the splinter movement of Farc

Because Farc became legalized or something as a party

And some get help from the Venezuelan government

And indeed, they were active before Chavez, though Chavez is from Venezuela, so I'm not sure why he's used here as reference

@Mr. Nessel FARC's full international extent is getting shelter and supplies from Venezuela

Just before the peace treaty thing the FARC's territory was reduced to the Colombia-Venezuela border because they'd get actual help from the Venezuelan government

I'm confused, don't most southern american countries have a history with communist guerillas?

Subcommandante Marcos, Sendera Luminoso, Comando Vermelho,... or you only mean the active ones?

indeed they do
thing is
colombia is the only ones that are still active

all other LATAM countries have crushed their insurgencies

@Punished Elías Im using chavez as reference since i belive the venezuelans are actively supporting them with weaponry and supplies. i was wondering who was supporting them before chavez.Venezuela was right wing dictatorship before chavez

bruh

Soviets and Cuba probably

farc received all manner of financial support from the soviets

yeah

the communist network in latin america has always been very strong and tightly knit

they just operate differently in each country because the legal and geographic situations vary pretty dramatically

though FARC in particular is largely self-funded through kidnappings and collaboration with the cocaine cartels

@vexmasina44 the Venezuelan government absolutely supports them

oh yeah that too

though that's relatively recent

2003-ish onward

and today they get their funding from cocaine

FARC is several decades old

the cartels all got shut down but cocaine is lucrative so the guerillas took up the business

I wonder if there are any based Anglican bishops in England at this point

(no)
