The Other Side of the Mountain

A bit farther afield, but you might want to look at the Tausug in the southern Philippines, a group that's often been involved in insurgency and general disorder. The description fits like a glove... it fits also in other conflict zones in the area, but the Tausug would probably be the group to start with.

Thanks,

I had some old stuff on them. Interesting group because they have a history of chiefdom (sultanate).
