Armed Forces of Popular Resistance

The Armed Forces of Popular Resistance (Spanish: Fuerzas Armadas de Resistencia Popular, abbreviated FARP) was a Marxist-Leninist Puerto Rican nationalist paramilitary group active in Puerto Rico from 1977 to 1986. It was believed to be linked to the Workers' Socialist Movement (MST) and was led by Federico Cintrón Fiallo.

The FARP was formed from of a group pro-independence activists known as "La Orga", which had been active in the nationalist movement since the late 1960s. It considered itself to be a political-military organization and waged a paramilitary campaign against United States rule in Puerto Rico. To this end, it carried out a series of bombings, bank robberies, shootings, and armed takeovers. It was a member of the allegedly Cuban-backed National Revolutionary Command (CRN) coalition, but would later withdraw due to disputes with other members of the alliance. The group often collaborated with the EPB-Macheteros, the Armed Forces of National Liberation (FALN), and the Organization of Volunteers for the Puerto Rican Revolution (OVRP), notably taking part in the Sabana Seca ambush.

After a campaign lasting 9 years, FARP carried out its last attack, a series of bombings, on 28 October 1986 in conjunction with the EPB-Macheteros and OVRP. After this attack, the FARP dissolved and some of its members were believed to have joined the Macheteros.
