In 1966, the National Liberation Army of Colombia (ELN) – the second largest belligerent group in the country – joined the struggle against the national government when a group of Cuban-trained leftist militants rose up against the income disparity amongst Colombia’s social classes. The internal conflict in contemporary Colombia started in 1964 when the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) first clashed with the Colombian government and right-wing paramilitaries during a push for widespread agrarian reforms. Here, we have compiled a list of just some of the largest ongoing conflict zones across the globe.ĥ Colombian Conflict – 200,00 – 600,000 Casualties But that doesn't mean we should remain unaware of the ongoing conflict and daily strife being endured by our fellow man in some of the longest-standing war zones in the world. Most of us who've been lucky enough to be born into a safe and secure nation choose to stay out of harm's way if we can help it, understandably. That is, unless you're anything like Chris Jeon, the UCLA student who decided to travel to Libya and joined the rebel forces in the midst of the Libyan revolution. With wars raging in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and South America, it would seem that travelling to any one of these places to witness the horror first hand would be far too dangerous for any individual. The list of ongoing armed conflicts spans regions all over the globe and includes wars that have lasted for decades with no end in sight. Murder, torture, rape, genocide, sickness and enslavement are among some of the afflictions and unspeakable atrocities that take place in war zones. But a categorized war zone, or conflict zone, is not to be taken lightly by any means. A war zone evokes trauma, violence and horror, and sometimes people use the term as a hyperbole to emphasize their point. Military conflicts, areas of protest, gang-member clashes, and even personal disputes could be referred to as ‘war zones’.

The actors are in their natural appearances with not much make-up: Tilda Swinton you see her with the pregnant creased skin-folds of a tummy inelegance the two teenagers (Lara Belmont as Jessie, Freddie Cunliffe as Tom) in their casual demeanor/slouching poses Ray Winstone as the seemingly unsuspicious father who looks like any man of the house, full of himself and chatting incessantly (in a way, an indication of certain insecurity and self-doubt?). He takes the subject right on and tackles it directly and really shakes up the viewers. Tim Roth's film cuts to the chase and shows the vivid horror of the actual act. The Danish film shows the intensity through dialogs and character reactions. The 1998 Danish Dogma film "The Celebration" (Festen) is another hard medicine movie, intense drama about family strives and incest.
