A recent InSight report revealed that three of the ELN’s five main fighting divisions operate from Venezuelan territory, using it for logistics, training and cross-border movement

Colombia’s National Liberation Army (ELN) and dissident factions of the former FARC rebel group issued defiant statements following the U.S. military operation in Venezuela that led to the capture of Nicolás Maduro, framing the attack as a violation of regional sovereignty and vowing armed resistance against Washington.

In a statement released by its Eastern War Front, the ELN said that “once again U.S. imperialism violates the national sovereignty of the countries of Our America and the world,” and rejected what it described as a U.S. attack on the “Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.”

The group expressed “solidarity and support for the Venezuelan people and government” and called on Latin American nations to “reject the gringo aggression, defend national sovereignty, and embrace unity and popular resistance,” as Infobae reports.

    Just a reminder that America has not won an armed conflict since WWII, and they have been absolutely savaged by guerilla warfare strategies in multiple conflicts.

    Everybody fears the American Military, and they will do a lot of damage when they come to your neighborhood, but ultimately, they can’t get out of their own way.

      And even saying they won WWII is generous in itself, they joined the winning side in progress.
