Preferred term

Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front  

Definition(s)

  • Taking its name from Farabundo Martí, leader of a 1932 communist revolt in El Salvador, the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN, Frente Farabundo Marti para la Liberacion Nacional) has its roots in two sources: radicalized religious activists and the Communist Party of El Salvador. Originally called the Unified Revolutionary Directorate (DRU), under Cuban pressure, the FMLN was forged from five Marxist factions in April 1980.
