	This is my first contributed quiz in months...I appreciate in advance your comments reminding me about things I forgot to do. :) Thanks!

	Very good - especially like the way you went for na Fianna instead of something more obvious - well done

	cool quiz. How about the 'National Transition Council' in Libya?

	Esme:	May 9th, 2011 at 18:12 GMT		2 points
	Thanks to you both! @seanypthemc: The quiz is focused on the 20th C., so they don't meet that criterion. Also, my understanding is that they are more of a political organization than a guerrilla one?

	This is kinda similar to this quiz from January: http://www.sporcle.com/games/gnatural/revolutionaries

	@sproutcm: Hadn't seen it -- thanks for pointing it out! I did see http://www.sporcle.com/games/guerrillamovements.php, but that works in the reverse (name the group by country).

	I know it would knock it out of this quiz, but the Mau Mau was a term created by the Brits and the paramilitary group called themselves Kenya Land and Freedom Army.

	Esme:	May 9th, 2011 at 23:41 GMT		7 points
	@redsxfenway: That was the one I thought long and hard about, but I decided to go with it because a) it has been adopted as a term of pride in Kenyan society today since it is more authentically African than the English-language name, and b) there's actually a bit of debate about the origin, since some Kikuyu scholars say it was an acronym for a Swahili-language slogan among the rebels. So until historians can definitively agree on that one, I personally feel like it's okay to use. However, everyone should please feel free to weigh in by up-voting @redsxfenway if you agree with him!

	Though they may have been more limited in their actions in the Twentieth Century, it’s worth mentioning that in the past decade, the P.K.K. has been active in Iraq as well as Turkey, and the Lord’s Resistance Army has been wreaking havoc in the D.R. Congo and the Central African Republic after being defeated in Uganda.

	You are part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor!

	West Side Boys?? Isn't that fought between Broadway and off-Broadway musical actors?

	tm83:	Jun 15th, 2011 at 17:36 GMT		1 point
	@ffi - Lord's Resistance Army was a rebel faction in Uganda. In DRC and CAR it's just a bunch of nutcases who want to kill people without any political objective... I'd also like to see a group which are maybe even more amusing than "West Side Boys", in the Republic of Congo civil war there were factions named, amongst others "Ninjas" and "Cobras"
