Colombia vs. FARC
What they faced: A decades‑long insurgency funded by kidnapping, drugs, and taxation of rural communities.

What worked over time:

Security + presence: The state expanded into rural areas with both soldiers and services—roads, schools, health posts.

Demobilization and reintegration: Fighters were given pathways out—amnesty deals, reintegration programs, and political participation for some.

Targeting finances: Hitting the money flows (drugs, extortion) weakened the group
