The People's Revolutionary Army (Spanish: Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo, ERP) was a small
paramilitary. The Colombian government wanted the group for rebellion, kidnappings and extortion crimes.[1]
It operated mostly in the vicinity of the city of
Colombian Caribbean region, between the departments of Sucre and Bolívar which demobilized in June, 2007. The ERP lost its marxist political background with the years and concentrated on criminal practices such as kidnappings and extortion and went down on the number of members to end up with 14 guerrillas which demobilized on September 15, 2007.[1][2]
