I just want your opinions on las FARC-EP (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia) Ejercito del Pueblo, if you know who they are or have heard of them.
Thanks

You know, I saw a bit about then at school on Channel One News but I still really don't know much of what they're about. Where is a place (a website for example) where I can get some UN-BIASED information about them?

Search this site.

There's a few articles on the FARC there.
Join the newsletter group too there's heaps of good stuff that comes down the wires.

I know them. I think they fight for just causes and although i cant agree with some of their methods i agree even less with the methods of their enemies, the US the colombian goverment and los paramilitares.

I would give you some information that was unbiased if I had any but i unfortunately don't. Sorry.
You can go to http://www.farc-ep.org though.
It talks about how it began and what they're all about. Also I think if you go to System of a Down's official website they have several articles on Colombia and FARC. I do not agree with all of the actions taken by FARC but I do support they're main cause which is political power and social reformation once in power. I do however condemn some actions taken by them such as bombings, kidnappings, etc. (guerrilla tactics) that sometimes cause harm to civilians.
