National Resistance Armed Forces

The National Resistance Armed Forces was the military arm of National Resistance, a Salvadoran socialist organization that was founded on May 10, 1975, when ideological differences within the People's Revolutionary Army and the assassinations of Roque Dalton and Armando Arteaga made some members break away from the ERP. Ernesto Jovel was its first general secretary. Other founding members of the RN included Eduardo Sancho, Lil Milagro Ramírez, Julia Rodríguez and Arsenio.
