Interactive: Colombia's FARC conflict

While the current Colombian government mainly views the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) as a terrorist organisation or as a“narco-terrorist group", the insurgents continue to maintain a Marxist-Leninist ideology, which is backed by a corresponding military-political organisation and strategy — however anachronistic this may seem two

In this interactive, learn how the FARC's armed struggle and politics have evolved since the 1960s until the present day.
