Project:	Project Title: The PGMD: We define a pro-government militia as a group that: is identified by media sources as pro-government or sponsored by the government (national or sub-national), is identified as not part of the regular security forces, is armed and has some level of organisation. Project Description: We use local, regional and international media sources via Nexis to identify pro-government militias, primarily relying on English language news sources from around the world from LexisNexis. The sources from Nexis include a wide range of sources including transcripts from local radio stations, national newspapers, BBC World Summaries of local news, and all major international newspapers.
