The Unified National Liberation Front of Corsica (Corsican: Fronte di Liberazione Naziunale di a Corsica Unificatu; French: Fronte de Libération Nationale de la Corse Unifié; abbreviated FLNC-U, FLNC-Unificatu, or FLNC Unifié) was a minor Corsican nationalist paramilitary organization in the Corsican conflict.
One of the many groups using the name “FLNC”, the FLNC-U emerged during a tense period of infighting between the FLNC-Union of Combatants and the FLNC-22 October. The main goal of the organization was to influence all nationalist armed groups to form a broad front and fight as one organization against the French state, an objective shared by the FLNC-1976, another splinter group.[1] The FLNC-U often held press conferences to spread their message and rarely committed armed attacks, although armed actions from the group still occurred. The FLNC-U, like other groups, also engaged in conflict with the mafia, particularly the Brise de Mer mafia.[2] The last appearance of the group was in June 2012.
