FMLN  

Definition

  • The FMLN (Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional) formed as an organized guerrilla movement in 1980, in response to years of repression by the Salvadoran government. Largely due to international assistance and local support, the FMLN posed a credible threat to the Salvadoran military during the civil war that lasted more than a decade.
