CIA Operation Condor: Coordinated Repression in South America

Operation Condor was a covert and highly coordinated effort that took place predominantly during the 1970s and 1980s, involving several South American dictatorships with the support and involvement of the United States' Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). This multinational covert operation aimed to eliminate left-wing dissidents, political opponents, and activists across the continent. The operation left a legacy of human rights abuses, state terrorism, and the institutionalization of political repression.
