Tensions Are Flaring in Colombia As The Gulf Clan Makes Demands Of The Government (4/21/23)
The Gulf Clan, also known as the Gaitanista Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (Autodefensas Gaitanistas de Colombia or AGC), is a criminal organization that operates primarily in Colombia, although it has also been known to have connections and operations in other countries in the region. The Gulf Clan is considered one of the largest and most powerful criminal groups in Colombia, and is involved in a variety of criminal activities, including drug trafficking, illegal mining, extortion, and illegal logging, among others.
The Gulf Clan was formed in the late 2000s by a group of former members of the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), a paramilitary group that was active during Colombia's armed conflict. The Gulf Clan has since grown in size and power, and is known for its violent tactics, including targeted killings and forced recruitment of minors.The Colombian government has designated the Gulf Clan as a terrorist organization, and has launched several operations aimed at dismantling the group's leadership and infrastructure. Despite these efforts, the Gulf Clan remains active and continues to be a major source of violence and instability in many parts of Colombia.
Now, after peace talks with President Gustavo Petro stalled, the clan is making new demands from the Colombia government.
