Tyous Team of Commandos
The Tyous Team of Commandos – TTC (Arabic: فريق التيوس من المغاوير| Fariq Tyous min' al-Maghawir) or simply Tyous for short ('Tyous' means 'Male Goat' in Arabic, also translated as the "Stubborn Ones"; "Les Têtus", "Les Obstinés" in French), was a small Christian militia which fought in the 1975–78 phase of the Lebanese Civil War. == Origins == The Tyous (written in Arabic as التيوس pronounced Tyoos) were quietly formed at the early 1970s in Beirut by Joseph Hanna (nom de guerre Al Anid), a Christian Maronite rightwing activist who strongly opposed the 1969 Cairo Agreement and the presence of Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) guerrilla factions in Lebanon.
