Terrorist siege in the Philippines.

[Sithara007]

Mostly the reason why terrorist siege is happening not just on the Philippines but also in some nations around the world because they are seeking for the attention of the national government about their personal claims and needs because of the poverty that is really obvious in many nations. But their way to caught the attention of the government is really wrong because they are sacrificing the innocent minds not just of those children but also the families that are involved in the vicinity where the terrorist siege is happening.

You are still claiming that poverty is the issue here? Marawi is not the poorest city in the Philippines. The inhabitants were relatively well off. So don't play games here. It was Islam which caused this siege, and not poverty.

The Maute group is not directly affiliated with ISIS, but they have pledged their allegiance to the much bigger extremist group. These past few years, ISIS has been going strong with their terror attacks against humanity, and I believe it is what inspired most terrorist groups today. It's saddening that the world has come to this, but I still hope we can change things. Pray for Marawi, and the whole human race.

[Mometaskers]

Government already recaptured 90% of the city. The terrorists have bunkered in various mosques across the city, sniping at soldiers from their minarets and other projections. That's the only reason they are still alive. The air force has resumed strikes and there was an American plane seen patrolling the area. Once they get permission to drop bombs on the mosques, it will all be over.

Whats the difference about europe and pinoy utopia?
We have isolated terrorist attacks from radicalised  2nd/3rd generation muslims that kill less people then a public bus per year.
In pinoy utopia the muslim population conquers whole states.

Be more delusional please.

It just one city in a medium-sized province. No need to exaggerate. Only reason they have not been eliminated yet is because they're hiding in mosques, which is off-limits for attacks, as is the standard in many countries.

It is actually the only highly urbanized city in the autonomous Muslim region. It's far from the hovels in other Muslim provinces.

It is scary that several groups are popping here and there indicating their support and intent on being one with ISIS. Like what happened in Marawi, it would take a lot of planning and resources to pull off such a feat and to sustain them holding the area for this long. It now has ISIS' support surely and the problem is that they blend in mostly with civilians that they military would have a hard time scouring them out.

Yes they popping as if it is easy to have a group and be terrorist.  ISIS gave their support and I do not know why these people loves to kill, what is in their minds.  Good thing that the mother and father of the Maute group falls to the hand of the government.  They were siege because of the checkpoints made.  I hope that this group all die.  Many soldiers risked their lives.

You like it or not, the ISIS is now quite famous all over the world. Even those living in the remotest corners of the earth have heard about the ISIS. So it is natural for the criminals and perverts to make attempts to join that organization. Joining the ISIS also means more funds and better weapons for them.

You don't have to lecture me about my country's own history. I know this.

[NJB18]

They are not ISIS they are just attention seeker they want to get the attention of international group called "ISIS" to have fund to their activities they are the Maute groups the one who plant a bomb on night market davao hoping that after the declaration president duterte will force all his trops to kills those animals who killed 9 christians already.

Well, why not kill them all then?

Both bible and quran prescript capital punishment for premediated murder (this case) and Duterte, unlike western puppets seems to be strong enough man to carry out justice in this regard.

Remember, from the point of natural law, it doesnt matter what murderer seeks or wants to prove. What matters is that he is held accountible for his crimes against humanity, nature and God.

Can you source more information for us, non-Phillipinos, please?

Kill them all. That's currently the president's directive to the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the police. He even snubbed the offer for a dialogue coming from the mother herself of the Maute brothers, the main group leading the attack. President Duterte's decision not to accept the offer for a talk was simple: he has several policemen and military killed already. There is no need for a talk then. The terrorists have to suffer no less than death.

It is puzzling, however, how these terrorists are fighting against the government's forces toe to toe. They are standing their ground amidst all the airstrikes and attacks of the government's forces. The battle is already on its 3rd week and while the terrorists are already isolated in a relatively small area, they are still very much alive and kicking, very much capable of dealing serious blows to the military and police.

I hope this will end soon.

He is right. There should be no dialogue with the ISIS. What is the use of dialogue? They will just get more time to prepare themselves for an even bigger battle. That should not be allowed. They must be destroyed in the bud itself.

That's what people love about President Duterte. He has no non-sense policy against the terrorist. He is wants an all out war because he knows that if their is dialogue, nothing positive would came about it. The government have already put a $10 million bounty on the head of the leader of the Maute and for sure its just a matter of time close to him would turn to government and point where they are hiding. Similar to what happened to a Marwan(another terrorist) who was killed by the AFP, but unfortunately a lot has died on the government forces (SAF-44). No dialogue, they have started this siege in Marawi, Duterte will finished it.

Still, this incident makes me less optimistic of the situation there. There were many people online blatantly rooting for the terrorists even though it were mostly Muslims suffering from the siege. Duterte even blamed some people there for tolerating the rise of these fundamentalists.

Just a few day ago, a little boy died while praying inside a mosque when a bullet got through the wall. Apparently some people have not moved out (or maybe they have moved back) because the terrorists are no longer within the vicinity. Sigh.

It is not surprising. Even in the Western nations such as the United Kingdom, there are a lot of Muslims who openly support the radical terrorist organizations such as the ISIS and the Al Qaeda. Any attempt to weed out these people is termed as an attack against Muslims.

It's not a surprise that ISIS could easily enter the Philippines. Why? Government supports them just to lead a rebellion against the current administration. At first, Maute, Abu Sayaff and NPA are the one terrorizing the south part of the Philippines especially in mindanao. This group cannot operate without sponsors. Philippines is already under Siege way back Marcos terms. It just so happen that this ISIS can caused a lot of damage to a small country like Philippines.

Government do not help these guys, and if they are, do you have a proof? This is not a movie where the enemies is just standing right behind your ears, this is the real world. If you will be blaming these siege at our government, then you can, but we can't do anything about it but to pray and hope that the civilians there are safe and that these skirmish will end fast.

I was getting really angry as I read the few posts that were written in Filipino and English. The rest is in their language and some are also in Arabic script. I'd would say we exchange them with Malaysia like Pakistan and India exchanged people but it's unlikely Malaysia would like all of them (except during election period there).

These groups has caused trouble for multiple administrations. Yes, even the past one. If they were indeed receiving government support, it would be from individual actors, rather than the government as a whole.

IMHO the real problem is the government overall failure to monopolize violence as well as lax border control with Malaysia where these groups are also receiving support.

I recently learned that the situation ws brought to an end thanks to Military support from the USA, am wondering why didn't Duterte's new buddies the Chinese government help with the whole situation, He should pick his allies more wisely and stop being an ****

It was a support on technology but without the effort of the government and without the sacrificed of Filipino soldiers risked their life and some are heroes right now, it would not be possible.  I may say that USA helps and acknowledge it.  But the big thank you should be with the government and the soldiers.  It only shows that if the government is serious with their plans it can be achieved.

The US should have left you for the Japs you ungrateful fucks. If it wasn't for the US the pinoys would be a slave race to the Japanese empire now.

Then you go and make allies with the enemies. I wouldn't have helped you again.

Philippines is not a super-power, and it is currently unable to prevent the ISIS members and funds from entering that country. The Muslims from Mindanao and the neighboring islands are having a long history of conflict against the Philippine authorities. And this is not the first time that they are receiving support from the outside players such as the ISIS.
