Iván Mordisco, the leader of the Estado Mayor Central (EMC), the largest dissident faction of Colombia's former FARC guerrillas, has called for a regional alliance with the National Liberation Army (ELN) and other armed Nicolás Maduro.
In a video circulated on social media, Colombia's most wanted criminal urged commanders of the ELN, the Segunda Marquetalia dissident faction and the Coordinadora Nacional Ejército Bolivariano to convene what he described as an urgent insurgent summit. He framed the proposal as a response to what he called U.S. "imperialist aggression" in the region.
