Page "Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia" Paragraph 84

According to Corporación Nuevo Arco Iris, FARC-EP killed 429 members of the Colombian government's security forces between January and October 2011.

During this same period, the rebel group lost 316 of its own members.

The year 2011 saw over 2, 000 incidents of FARC activity, which was the highest figure recorded since 1998.

The NGO has stated that while most of these incidents remain defensive in nature and are not like the large offensives from years past, FARC actions have been growing since 2005, and the rebel group is currently carrying out intense operations against small and medium-sized Colombian military units in vulnerable areas.
