Thesis statement
Among other guerrilla movements, FARC claimed to fight for the rights of the poor citizen, which they believed was being infringed by the existing Colombian government who was adamant in maintaining order and stability.
How you’re going to prove the thesis statement above
How was the militia started, and what was the genuine aim of its formation?
What year was it beginning, and what was transpiring in those days contributed to its formation?

Analysis
When we examine the FARC and M-19, another Colombian rebel organization, it is evident that both groups constituted substantial challenges to Colombia’s government. M-19, for example, attacked the Colombian Palace of Justice in 1985 and kidnapped the justices inside as captives.
To offer a contemporary example, the FARC abducted a Colombian army general in 2014.
To get a sense of how much destruction these wars have created within Colombia, consider two figures: the number of deaths directly attributable to this conflict is believed to be approximately 220.000, and the number of displaced persons is estimated to be over 7 million.
