Ahhh you're right. It always confuses me a little with how many damn organisation names they throw around. Like the Patriots in MGS2 originally being called the Wisemen's Commitee but that turned out to be the original Philosophers.

I don't think any connection has been fully confirmed but it's heavily implied that they're working together, with the "UN Inspection" that Cipher arranges as a smokescreen for XOF's attack.
