According to a December report by the Corporación Nuevo Arco Iris NGO, 473 FARC-EP guerrillas and 357 members of the Colombian security forces died in combat between January and September 2010.
An additional 1, 382 government soldiers or policemen were wounded during the same period, with the report estimating that the total number of casualties could reach 2, 500 by the end of the year.
Nuevo Arco Iris head León Valencia considered that FARC guerrillas have reacted to a series of successful military blows against them by splitting up their forces into smaller groups and intensifying the offensive use of anti-personnel land mines, leading to what he called a further " degradation " of the conflict.
Valencia also added that both coca crops and the drug trade have " doubled " in areas with FARC-EP presence.
Researcher Claudia López considered that the Colombian government is winning the strategic and aerial side of the war but not the infantry front, where both the FARC-EP and ELN continue to maintain an offensive capacity.
