At the end of the First Indochina War ethnic minority people migrated in both directions--north and south of the seventeenth parallel. According to CIA figures, about 10,000 Muongs (members of a northern hill tribe) went south at the time of the Geneva Accords. The same was true of 55,000 Nungs; these were not primitive tribesmen but members of a group that originated in China and migrated to Vietnam in the seventeenth century. At the same time, the CIA estimated that approximately 10,000 indigenous people from the Central Highlands had regrouped north. About 5,000 of them were from the Rhade, generally considered the most educated and politically sophisticated of the Highland tribes; these migrants included four of the five qualified Rhade doctors.

oh and i forgot to mention, when dylan hunt's simmering romantic subplot with tyr anasazi came to an end in the s3 finale, the new sexy nietzchean they brought in to have more emotional scenes with dylan than any of his hetero female trysts was literally THE REINCARNATION OF DYLAN'S EX BOYFRIEND FROM THE ORIGINAL COMMONWEALTH THREE CENTURIES PREVIOUS.
