The Movimiento por el Gran Rugido Libre (English: Free Gran Rugido Movement) often referred to as the Separatistas was a guerrilla group that has been since 1988 at war with the national Rugidoense state. They were known to employ a variety of military tactics in addition to more unconventional methods, including terrorism. The MGRL was formed in the aftermath of the civil war by generals who refused to accept the Santa Elisa Peace Accords. These former Proceso generals were described as using a mixture between the Singularist based movement of the Pensamiento de Zavala and rescuing ideas of communism, anti-capitalism and anti-globalism.
Before 1988, operations of the MGRL were funded by kidnap and ransom, illegal mining, extortion and taxation of various forms of economic activity, and the production and distribution of legal and illegal drugs to Western and Eastern countries. In 1988, following the arrest of communist leader Lázaro Jaramillo, combined with the recent ilegalization of left-wing parties, prompted the guerrilla to declare war on June 15, 1988. the siege of Senora lasted 24-days until the Federal Government and the 777th Legion of the National Guard (Gran Rugido) suppressed the uprising after repelling several offensives by the group. The defeat prompted the group to lay dormant until 2021.
In 2021, taking advantage of the precarious position of the government, the guerrilla restarted its war against the state with two attacks against civilians and government officials. The uprising lasted until the May 31, in what is currently known as the Battle of Aztlán (2021). With the death or detention of most of its leaders, the group was declared 'officially defunct' in June.
