The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) has declared its solidarity with Venezuela's socialist President Hugo Chavez and vowed to help defend Venezuela against any invasion from their "common enemy", the US. FARC leader Raul Reyes told the Colombian alternative news agency Anncol that if a US attack comes from the Colombian side of the border with Venezuela, the FARC will actively support Venezuela's Bolivarian revolution. The US backs the Colombian military in its war against the FARC.
