We were told that participants of the M.I.L.F., M.N.L.F, B.I.F.F., N.P.A. etc. live as civilians, and take up arms when the time is ripe. Many times when I sat in a room with Government officials and community members I often found myself scanning the room, looking from one community member to another, from head to toe wondering, who are they? Have they ever fought? Who have they lost in this conflict? During the presentations I always tried to see who official looked at in the community when there was discussion about combatants, as if their look would give some kind of secret away. Or if there was something more to that frequent laugh and smile when we asked uncomfortable questions.
