News Caracol learned of a military intelligence report that accounts for several failed meetings between the leaders of the FARC dissidents in Venezuela that have caused the recent fighting in the border zone. Training camps were also detected in Venezuelan territory.

The border area between Arauca and Apure state in Venezuela has the presence of at least 3 illegal groups.

On the one hand, there is the structure 10 of the FARC dissidents aligned with alias ‘Gentil Duarte’ and under the command of alias ‘Arturo’, another group is the Domingo Laín front of the ELN under the command of alias ‘Pablito’, and the third is the Second Marquetalia of ‘Iván Márquez’.

“Historically, Venezuela was for many years the rear of the Colombian guerrillas, when they felt the presence of the public force crossing the border and found a space to withdraw,” said Carlos Chacón, academic director of the Institute of Political Science.

The military intelligence documents reveal how at the end of 2019 in Bolívar state a meeting was held between aliases ‘Iván Márquez’, ‘Iván Mordisco’ and ‘Gentil Duarte’ to unify the dissidents, but it failed.

After more than a year, at the beginning of March of this 2021, Aliases ‘Iván Márquez’ and ‘Iván Mordisco’ would have met again to seek alliances, however the meeting did not end well.

“Not everyone wants to go to Iván Márquez’s project and they want to continue in drug trafficking, they are not interested in joining him at first.

Carlos Chacón, academic director of the Institute of Political Science.

Henceforth, the military operations of the Venezuelan armed forces were intensified against the structure of the FARC dissidents and its leader Jorge Eliécer Jiménez, alias ‘Arturo’, which it has generated a massive displacement towards Colombian territory.

“The paradox of all this is that FARC dissidents are using the Bolivarian Armed Forces of Venezuela to confront other dissidents, “the expert explained.

The intelligence dossier also indicates that alias ‘Arturo’ He directs criminal actions from the Apure state and has a security ring of 30 men, 12 of them with special forces courses and sophisticated weapons.
