Internal enemy explained

Internal enemy refers to individuals or groups within one country who are perceived as a threat to that country. The distinction between internal and external enemies is discussed in Plato's Republic.^[1] Groups considered internal enemies by the countries in which they reside include Kurds in Turkey,^[2] Palestinians in Israel,^[3] Muslims in Western countries,^[4] and political dissidents under Latin American dictators.^[5]

In 2015, the Venezuelan National Guard published a procedural manual related to public order which included "guarimberos" as internal enemies of the State.^{[6] [7]}
