The community consisting of 20 - more than 100 mostly young men, who show up in the street at certain time. They wear army-like uniforms to leave the impression that they are tough, powerful and well respected, so that ordinary people may be afraid of them.
To the best of my knowledge, what they look for is financial support that they demand by threatening. It seems to me that police just look the other way, and their actions continue to unrest their targets.
Do you find such group in your city?

I cannot say they are paramilitary people. I think they wear the uniforms as if they were members of the army just to threaten people. Their targets are usually contractors, which they think earn big profit from construction work they carry out. No parties seem able to stop this group. What do you say?

@yanzalong I have no idea. Ours just threaten individuals, and take their money or cell phones if they seem vulnerable.

Me neither. It seems to me that you will find such a group in almost any countries. Thank for responding, Peggy.

Fortunatly, there is no such a thing where I live. But there are other problems with yough and I am aware that the police (and maybe the government) looks the other way.
