I wrote an article to bring some light into the Guerilla groups that emerged from the FARC. Not too much detail but good as an introduction into the confusing landscape.

During the time #Pegasus was in operation, several important guerrilla leaders were killed. Some of them on Venezuelan territory. If it turns out that #Colombia was behind these attacks, this could lead to massive diplomatic consequences with the #Maduro regime.
