Descriptions

Founded in 1964, the National Liberation Army is a Marxist-leftist rebel group active in Colombia.

Australian Sanctions Consolidated List,

Ejército de Liberación Nacional

Belgian Financial Sanctions,

Founded in 1964, the ELN's principal aim is to "seize power for the people" and establish a revolutionary government. The group believes foreign involvement in Colombia's oil industry violates the country's sovereignty and foreign companies are unfairly exploiting Colombia's natural resources. ELN activities include kidnapping, hijacking, bombing, extortion, and guerrilla warfare. In its attacks, the ELN primarily targets the Colombian oil industry, political events, and political figures. Improvised explosive device attacks against energy targets are common, as illustrated by the group’s frequent attacks on a pipeline owned by the state oil company. The ELN has occasionally also utilized vehicle-borne improvised explosive device attacks. On March 29, 2023, the ELN attacked a military unit securing a northern pipeline with long-range weapons and improvised explosive devices, killing nine personnel and wounding at least eight others. Between February 23 and 26, 2022, the ELN held an armed strike across Colombia to protest the government's economic and social policies. The ELN blew up a bridge, set fire to vehicles, blocked roads and set off bombs that injured eight people during the first day. The ELN has also expanded into Venezuela, and has been described as a binational guerrilla group. After the disarmament of FARC militants in 2017, ELN militants have filled their territorial vacuum.
