الدروع

Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help.

Armed militias/Para-military forces

تعبير ليبي يصف المجموعات المسلحة غير النظامية
وبالرغم من استعمال كلمة الدرع او الدروع في أسماء تلك المجموعات ولكنها لا تؤخذ بالترجمة الحرفية
Note from asker:
Thank you for your comment and suggestion. I noticed some websites using "shield forces" as well.
