Definición
- Guerrillas, traditionally, are irregular insurgent forces with significant popular support who seek to wage hitand-run campaigns against superior forces. Guerrilla forces arise for a variety of reasons—to resist foreign occupying troops, as in the Greek and French resistance to Fascist and Nazi occupation or the Spanish opposition to Napoleon; to fight against national oppressive forces, such as the FMLN in El Salvador or SWAPO in Namibia; or to seek radical political transformation in a rapid fashion, as in the case of the Maoist forces in Nepal, the mujahideen in Afghanistan, and the Zapatistas in Mexico.
