Encyclopedia > National Liberation Front

National Liberation Front is a common name for guerrilla organisations fighting to free their country from foreign rule, or at least claiming to be such an organisation. The term is typically associated with left wing politics, however militant right wing and even fascist movements use the term. National liberation fronts typically appeal to a radical nation, in the 19th century sense, or to a reactionary nationalism in the 20th century sense.


National Liberation Fronts include:

  • The Front de Libération Nationale, an Algerian group fighting for independence from France during the 1950s and 1960s, which later became the sole Algerian party, and is now one among many Algerian parties.
  • Gorkha National Liberation Front (C.K. Pradhan)
  • Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front
  • Farabundo_Martí_National_Liberation_Front
  • Anti-Fascist Council of National Liberation of Yugoslavia
