Colombia's far-right threatens senators, journalists and protest organizers
by Adriaan Alsema November 20, 2020
Far-right group Aguilas Negras sent out a death threat to senators of Colombia’s opposition, journalists and the organizers of anti-government protests on Thursday.
The mysterious group, which is believed to be associated with the security forces, reiterated its support for far-right former President Alvaro Uribe.
. . .
Unlike paramilitary groups like the AGC and “Los Caparrapos,” the Aguilas Negras are not a paramilitary group, but a far-right group with presumed ties to an intelligence agency and the National Army.
The group additionally is believed to work with regional elites and businesses.
