EPP split gives Cartes his first major coup against the guerrillas
The government of President Horacio Cartes has been celebrating one of its first substantial victories against the guerrillas of the Ejército del Pueblo Paraguayo (EPP) — or, more precisely, against one of its former ‘cells’ that has broken away and renamed itself Agrupación Campesina Armada (‘Armed Peasant Association’). On 19 September the joint military police task force (FTC) operating in Concepción engaged this faction, killing three of its members and reportedly badly injuring one of its leaders.
