PARAGUAY: EPP to follow in Farc’s footsteps?
The guerrillas of the Ejército del Pueblo Paraguayo (EPP) have become stronger and will soon start stepping up their attacks on power pylons and other infrastructure targets, as well as launching urban operations. The prediction comes from a Colombian official who has in the past advised the Paraguayan security forces. He sees the EPP as a ‘mirror image’ of the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (Farc) guerrillas of his own country — and is highly critical of the Paraguayan government’s counter-insurgency methods. Paraguays interior minister Francisco de Vargas disagrees.
