This means fifth column in Spanish. Since then, enemies within have been known as the fifth column. A fifth column is any group of people who undermine a larger group from within, usually in favour of an enemy group or nation. Begs the question, are Orengo and Otiende ODM’s fifth column? I submit that neither of the MPs is the fifth column.
