no es una entidad que opera sin autorización Explanation: "rogue" significa una entidad dentro de la estructura oficial, pero que no responde a ninguna autoridad de la misma, y actúa de forma independiente. Creo que en este caso "at odds with the public voice" no significa la voz del público sino "la voz pública del Estado" Es una entidad que aveces parece no estar de acuerdo con el gobierno, pero no por eso es "una entidad que opera sin el visto bueno oficial" |

grupo paramilitar/grupo encubierto Explanation: Paramilitary groups as security forces These groups are neither a police agency nor a military organization, having elements of both but also lacking elements of both. Much of the world's military forces, particularly in developing countries, could be considered paramilitary; they are oriented towards controlling their own country's population rather than toward the role of a professional military. This sort of paramilitary force typically exists to assure the internal control of a country and to suppress anarchy or civil war. They are typically armed with small arms and wear military uniforms. They are also often equipped with tear gas and other non-lethal weapons. Such paramilitaries may be controlled by the ruling political party or by the head of state personally rather than by the government. In some situations, where the state or military apparatus is particularly weak or absent, they can act with a large degree of practical independence, having their own command structures and benefitting from private sponsors (instead of, or in addition to, any institutional ones), such as landowners, regional authorities, local interest groups, former victims of revolutionary paramilitary forces, warlords, drug lords or foreign interests. These sponsors may then be able to further extend their influence or control over the paramilitary forces, or even organize paramilitary groups of their own. |
