This is what is called ‘Liberation Front/Army’. They come in different colors and nomenclatures. These days and beginning the early 1960’s they espouse ethnicity. All of them have been murdering civilians both under the government and their own control. Just ask OLF, ONLF, SPLF, ELF, EPLF and those hell-bent these days to liberate themselves from themselves.
