OBS

By the mid-1990s, citizens directly associated the problem of the war with the army itself. With the rebellion spreading virtually unchecked in the South and East, villagers organized militias to supplement or replace the efforts of the army. The local militias became known as Civil Defence Forces (CDFs)

  • Organismes et comités nationaux non canadiens
  • Paramilitaire
OBS

Comme la rébellion gagnait du terrain sans pratiquement rencontrer de résistance dans le sud et l'est du pays, les villageois ont organisé des milices pour épauler les efforts de l'armée ou combler son absence. On a appelé ces milices locales les Forces de défense civile.
