insurgent

Previous party leaders and governments have faced this choice about how to deal with insurgent parties under Farage.

Then, two years ago, an alliance of insurgent groups launched an offensive which drove the Myanmar military out of large areas of Shan State, and took control of Laukkai.

The government now has to grapple with an insurgent party with no track record in office and which is eroding Labour's, not just the Conservatives', vote.

By 1964, with U.S. “military advisers” on the ground supporting the South Vietnamese government against the communist insurgents of the North, President Lyndon Johnson and his advisers decided — foolishly, in retrospect — to commit U.S. troops.

"In a series of three precise and successive strikes, the fleeing terrorists were decisively engaged, resulting in the neutralisation of over 30 insurgents," he said.
