Okay, who makes 'em? I need civilians for my village – men, women, children, merchants, goat herders, Imams, what have you.

25 or 28mm, but lots of variety if I can, I don't want 6 identical women….

Eureka seems to have some of what you are looking for:

Try Etsy. Beware that many will come with tiny bases.

I bought the Eureka ones for my India, for use from Lucknow to Kabul.
Unfortunately they are still in the queue to paint..

I love using civilians on the tabletop! IMHO helps provide a more realistic sense of place.

As others have rightly said already, Eureka does have a very nice and very large range of Indian/Afghan Civilians, who can also be used for N. Africa. I think I have almost all of them and have used them painted and have used them for years. But my all-time favorite single pack for this purpose is this one from the Perry Miniatures Crusader Muslim range:

There are also these 2 packs from the old school Wargames Foundry Indian Mutiny range:
