liberation fronts
Revolutionary armed organizations
Liberation fronts are political or military organizations fighting to free a people or territory from what they consider foreign occupation, colonial rule, or oppression.
The term typically appears in the names of revolutionary movements: the Palestine Liberation Front, the National Liberation Front of Vietnam.
Such groups may employ guerrilla warfare, terrorism, or political organizing—often labeled freedom fighters by supporters and terrorists by opponents.
