The call from leader Nestor Gregorio Vera, better known by his nom de \u200cguerre &#8220;Ivan Mordisco,&#8221; follows \u2060the U.S. incursion into neighboring Venezuela, which resulted in the capture of President Nicolas Maduro.       &#8220;The shadow of the interventionist eagle looms \u200dover everyone equally. We urge you to put aside these differences,&#8221; Vera said in a video in which he appeared dressed in camouflage and surrounded by two heavily armed \u2060guerrillas.       Colombian President Gustavo Petro &#8211; a former guerrilla who vowed to bring peace to the country after more than six decades of internal armed conflict &#8211; is set to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington in February,       Trump \u200csaid on Friday       .<br \/>The planned meeting       comes days after       Trump threatened Colombia       with military action. Trump has repeatedly accused the administration of Petro, without evidence, of enabling a steady flow of \u2060cocaine into the U.S., imposing sanctions on the Colombian leader in October.       &#8220;Destiny is calling us to unite. We are not scattered forces, we are heirs to the same cause. Let us weave unity through action and forge the great insurgent \u2060bloc that will push back the enemies of the greater homeland,&#8221; Vera added in the video addressed to the National Liberation Army (ELN), the Second Marquetalia and the Bolivarian Army Guerrilla Coordinating \u200dBoard, which also emerged from the former FARC.       However, it did not include the second-largest FARC dissident group, known as the Central General Staff, which broke away from Vera&#8217;s \u200cgroup in 2024.       In \u200btotal, the groups the insurgent \u200cleader proposed joining have more than 11,000 members.
