Summary |
The fall of the Berlin Wall seemed to mark the end of communist ideas and signal the "natural" disappearance of Latin American revolutionary groups. Cut off from their Moscow "lifeline," they appeared doomed to fade away. Yet almost ten years later, not only are they still present, but they are growing stronger. Long interpreted as remnants of the Cold War—and therefore expected to vanish along with it—these movements today continue to show a vitality that compels us to reconsider their presence and observe them from a fresh perspective.
Manuel Marulanda Vélez is the legendary leader of the most powerful guerrilla movement in all of Latin America, and almost certainly the oldest active guerrilla fighter in the world. Even before the term “Cold War” had reached him, he was already waging a battle for survival in the heart of a country where violence appears to be an insurmountable, endemic fate. |
