↑ Naxalites aren't a single organisation, but rather a term for any militant group which claims to be the successor to the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist)
↑ Al-Aqram is also known for its approach on economics, known as Arqamnomics. The three principles undergirding Arqamnomics were not to seek excessive profits or accumulate wealth, an Islamic economy were based on human energy, natural resources, expertise, knowledge, economic thinking, effort, consistency and prayers and finally, an economy free from riba (interest), monopoly, forbidden sources, unpaid loan, fraud and deception.
↑ Formerly a rebel group, later defected to the pro-govt forces
↑ This is the group responsible for the 2016 Turkish coup attempt. Many have accused it of having ties to the Gülen hareketi (Gülen movement)
↑ not to be confused with the Vietnamese National Army
