Who are the top 5 most wanted criminals of the world?
Partial Answer to Q40

5. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, also known as Lenin, is an anarchist communist agitator wanted for acts of espionage in Germany, and in the Empire of Austria-Hungary, where he played a key role in the creation of the Magyar radical group, Vörös Krizantém (Red Chrysanthemum). Allegedly responsible for the planning of bombings and assassinations in Germany, Austria, Romania and Serbia, Lenin has reportedly fled to Russia, where he supposedly has begun to organize a communist army to foment a Bolshevik revolution, ostensibly to restore order to the troubled region.

4. Fanamby Tsiraka. For the last 20 years, the Malagasy people of Madagascar have constantly engaged in poorly-coordinated insurgencies against their French colonial masters. While the French Légion Étrangčre has, thus far, put down every uprising (sometimes through the use of extreme violence), the air pirate and Malagasy nationalist Fanamby Tsiraka has proven a constant thorn in France's side. In one of the earlier (and better-planned) insurgencies, Fanamby Tsiraka and his men seized a large French transport dirigible and the brilliant revolutionary quickly learned how to use it.

Usually packed with heavily armed Malagasy raiders, and now reportedly armed with several water-cooled Maxim machine-guns, the renamed Hery Malagasy targets European-flagged civilian merchant vessels throughout the western Indian Ocean. Several survivors report the pirates also threatened to drop dynamite on them, from above.

The Hery Malagasy is known to run cargoes to the Zulu via secret airfields in the Drakensberg mountains of southeast Africa, and obtains repair and resupply at various Arab-controlled islands and Indian Ocean littoral territories. Tsiraka and his crew also dispose of ill-gotten gains in local markets in various Indian Ocean territories resentful of European intrusion, and also take R&R, in many of them. Tsiraka also likely has supply caches scattered around on isolated islands, throughout his area of operation.

To the dismay of the French, their Malagasy subjects consider Tsiraka a folk-hero, and he's usually able to slip into Madagascar and deliver guns and explosives to insurgent groups, with impunity.

Question 41
What are some of the Chinese or Western Pacific indigenous resistance groups who fight the brutally oppressive occupations by the Japanese Empire?
