Summary

This chapter outlines the archetypical framing contest found in many conflicts: that of terrorist versus revolutionary. While this contest is hardly novel, the ways in which combatants navigate these contests and their corresponding identities, and how such contests affect disengagement decisions and reintegration experiences, is not well understood. This chapter starts by going back to Mari, the FARC loyalist who introduced the book. Mari discusses her anger around how women have been framed by the government – as prostitutes, bad mothers, and manipulated victims. She and many other FARC combatants claim that these stories are made up by government informants and infiltrators, weaving a picture in which any woman who claims they were abused in FARC ranks is painted as a lying traitor.
