Ejército de Liberación Nacional

The Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN) is a guerrilla group in Colombia, founded in 1964, known for its Marxist-Leninist ideology and its focus on social justice issues. Recently, the ELN announced a unilateral ceasefire during the Christmas and New Year festivities, a traditional gesture aimed at promoting peace during this time. The group has also been involved in various violent actions and has accused the United States of military aggression in the region. Their activities have garnered significant attention from both national and international media, particularly in relation to ongoing conflicts and peace negotiations in Colombia.
