 [imc-qc] THE FILIPINO MIND - Unveiling the War in Sulu
SULU: The battle to control the Moro struggle In the southernmost tip of the Philippine archipelago lies an island the bulk of which is 1,600 square meters in length and sits in the middle of Basilan and Tawi-Tawi islands.
Sulu is the land of the tribe known as the Tau sa Sug (people of the current), a proud tribe that gave birth to a sultanate that ruled Zamboanga, Basilan, Tawi-Tawi and even Sabah for centuries before it was abrogated to the Philippine Republic under the American colonial administration.
The escalation of war in Sulu between the AFP and the MNLF is a glaring example of a failed peace negotiation, an insincere effort meant to crush and subdue the Morostruggle and not addressing the roots of the conflict.

I am aghast to hear military officials and local government officials covering the massacre and justifying the incident as an “encounter” between the military and the Abu Sayyaf, that the whole Padiwan family, including the pregnant mother Sidang and her children, are Abu Sayyaf who participated in the shoot-out with the military.
The key factor in ending the raging war in Sulu is for President Arroyo to send the AFP back to their barracks, call for a halt in the military offensives and hear out the rootcauses of the recent clashes between the MNLF and the AFP.
The escalation of war in Sulu between the AFP and the Moro National Liberation Front is a glaring example of a failed peace negotiation, an insincere effort meant to crush and subdue the Moro struggle but not addressing the roots of the conflict.

For the MNLF Misuari group in Sulu, the trigger of the current conflict in Sulu was the 1 February 2005 incident which it perceived to be a massacre [this issue of whether it was a massacre or encounter is to be addressed in another part of the mission report].
The AFP, as well as Sulu Governor Benjamin Loong, tend to view the ASG as the bigger problem in Sulu and therefore prioritize the solution of this problem, since the MNLF Misuari group is anyway covered by the Peace Agreement.
However, Malik, who commands MNLF operations in the eastern part of Sulu, admitted to his forces employing improvised anti-personnel and anti-vehicle landmines which detonate on impact or pressure in places where enemy forces, not civilians, are expected to pass.
