liberation fighters
Armed independence seekers
Liberation fighters are people engaged in armed struggle against what they consider foreign occupation, colonial rule, or oppressive government.
The term frames insurgents sympathetically—one side's liberation fighters are another's terrorists or rebels.
The liberation fighters staged an ambush on the convoy.
The phrase implies the cause is just, distinguishing these combatants from mere guerrillas or militants.
