The new face of extremism: not just with weapons, but with passports, “progressive” speeches, and alliances disguised as humanitarian cooperation
In the 21st century, Islamist narco-terrorism has evolved. It is no longer limited to explosions in the Middle East or lone-wolf attacks in Europe. Today, its operatives have infiltrated Latin America, taking advantage of authoritarian regimes, drug trafficking networks, weak or complicit institutions, and leftist governments that serve as shields under the guise of social justice.
The New Axis of Islamist Terror: Nicaragua, Colombia, and Guatemala
Nicaragua: Daniel Ortega, Sandinismo, and Islamist Alliances
The regime of Daniel Ortega has built strong alliances with Iran, Hezbollah, Russia, and Syria—not only ideologically, but also logistically and financially.
Key Developments:
- Ortega has allowed Iranian operatives to enter Nicaragua freely, under the cover of diplomatic, educational, or technical missions.
- Nicaragua serves as a logistical hub for money laundering, fake documentation, and terror financing operations.
- There are reports of suspicious travel and cargo movements between Nicaragua and countries known to host Islamist extremist networks.
“Under the ALBA umbrella, Nicaragua has turned into a strategic rear base for anti-U.S., anti-democracy forces—including radical Islamists.”
Colombian Senator León Fredy Muñoz: The Trojan Horse in Congress
Colombian Senator León Fredy Muñoz, linked to the left-wing Alianza Verde party, has played a leading role in exporting a radical “progressive” agenda to Central America—disguised as a campaign for human rights and transitional justice.
His Role in Infiltration:
- Promotes the narrative of political persecution against Guatemala’s justice system, particularly the Attorney General’s Office.
- Travels frequently to Nicaragua and other authoritarian regimes under vague “diplomatic” missions.
- Has been linked to NGOs funded by international actors with interests in dismantling anti-crime institutions in Guatemala and beyond.
“It’s no coincidence that the very people trying to dismantle Guatemala’s justice system are backed by a Colombian senator with ideological and logistical ties to the Ortega regime.”
Guatemala: The Next Target
Guatemala is seen as a strategic gateway for Islamist narco-terror networks due to its:
- Geographic location—key for trafficking drugs, weapons, and people.
- New government under Bernardo Arévalo, which has shown tolerance for radical ideological actors under the banner of “reconciliation.”
- The remaining independent institution: the Office of the Attorney General, led by María Consuelo Porras, is viewed as an obstacle to these agendas.
Because of this, she faces attacks, smear campaigns, and pressure from foreign-backed NGOs.
The Final Goal: Building an Islamo-Narco-Socialist Corridor of Impunity
From Venezuela to Guatemala, through Nicaragua and Colombia, a coordinated strategy is unfolding:
- Create safe zones for terrorists and drug traffickers, free from extradition risk.
- Weaken or dismantle justice institutions under the pretext of “lawfare.”
- Legitimize criminal and ideological operatives through narratives of political victimization.
- Establish secure funding routes for terror networks, using drug money and corrupt logistics.
Conclusion: Guatemala Is on the Front Line
Attorney General María Consuelo Porras and Guatemala’s justice system are among the last lines of defense against this transnational threat.
This is not just about ideology. It’s about sovereignty, national security, and protecting democratic institutions. Islamist narco-terrorism seeks not only money—but power, territory, and impunity, and it is doing so under the disguise of social justice, foreign aid, and human rights activism.
