Philippines and the "peace conversations" with the MILF
Philippines decided to modify the Constitution to create an Islamic state, after the MILF (Moro Islamic Liberation Front)'s campaign which has caused more than 150,000 deaths in 30 years of conflict.This is one of the results of the peace conversations that the Government has been maintaining with the MILF for some time now, and which could finally end in some kind of "peace". And I say it like that, because both the MILF's leaders AND its fighters are worried about having to live in peace!!!
For many of the 12,000 MILF rebels, especially the young, peace is likely to bring an uncertain future.
MILF
chief Murad Ibrahim, in a rare interview with AFP, said he was worried
for their future, especially for those born into war and the many whose
parents and older relatives have died as "martyrs". [...]
They are not used to it, so even in case the conversations end in some kind of peace, they will search for another target to "achieve". Now they are going to have a "limited autonomy", then they will ask for independence...
Anyway, this last week Philippine Government has detained two "suspects from Middle East" allegedly involved to bomb the US; British and Australian embassis in Manila. They have also detained a Jordanian recently, linked to the same plot.
