Question 1339: Offended??

__X__ (a community) means 'foreigners' or 'hostile people' in the local Aka-Bea language.

One of the possible reason for this is X's roots. The ancestors of 'X' are thought to have been part of the first successful human migrations out of Africa hundreds of years ago. Also, 'X' are known to live isolated and secluded with minimal interactions with other communities for very long time. The experience of such a lengthy period of isolation almost completely lacking in external cultural influences is equaled by few other groups in the world, if at all.

Known to live in three specific groups, namely, 'Boiab', 'Thadong' & 'Tanmad', they lead an extremely primitive living. Men as well as women are known to go complete naked. The principal threat to X’s existence comes from encroachment onto their land, which was sparked by the building of a highway through their forest in the 1970s. Tourism is also a threat to them, with tour operators driving tourists along the road through the reserve every day in the hope of ‘spotting’ members of 'X'. 'X' were in news for similar reasons.
