I'm hoping someone can help me figure out the names and details surrounding a couple of Child Guerillas I remember seeing a while ago.

The details I remember are:

They looked to be from Southeast Asia, I was thinking possible Cambodian, Idonesian or Filipino.
They also looked like they were in some kind of Command position (possibly as figureheads)
They were twins or brothers,
They were fighting some kind of guerilla war (judging by their camp's appearance)
They were extremely young (under 18, or at least they looked it)

I've seen them in snippets on documentarys about child soldiers and I believe I saw them in the video for Avril Lavigne's "Knocking on heaven's door"

I'd like to figure this out on my own on google but I can't remember enough details such as names, or even what country they are from.
I've tried "Child soldiers asian" and "child soldiers guerillas leaders asia" but other than that I haven't got any legs to stand on.
So if anyone knows any basic details I could start with I can take it from there, or if you know the exact story and details that would be great too.

Cheers and thanks.
 
Odd, for some reason I remembered this story from the newspaper years back (I have a pretty good memory).

You're searching for the Htoo brothers, 12 year old Karan's who were the leaders of a Christian militia fighting against the dictatorship of Myanmar.
