The Popular Liberation Army (aka People's Liberation Army, Ejército Popular de Liberación, or EPL), also known as the People's Liberation Army, is a Marxist guerrilla group that has been fighting the government of Colombia since the mid-1960s. The 1960s were a time of great upheaval in Colombia, resulting in the formation of several active resistance forces; the best known are the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and National Liberation Army (ELN).
