FARC

Not only in Africa are there guerilla groups starting a rebellious war against the government. In Colombia, South America and the surrounding countries of Latin America have also been dealing with this issue for the passed decade or so. Here, it is called the FARC, or the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia. The main reason they want power is for drug trafficking. In 2008, the Colombian government discovered information on the FARC that links their money source back to Venezuela's president. The Colombian government has now cut off from Venezuala, and that is how the argument between the countries began. FARC still is a problem that Colombia is dealing with, though.
