5 Pro-IS Militants Killed in Fresh Fighting in Southern Philippines, Army Says

Philippine President Calls on Muslim Autonomous Region s Leaders to Help Control Militants — BenarNews

Mark Navales/BenarNews President Rodrigo Duterte urged officials of a Muslim autonomous region in the southern Philippines on Tuesday to help rein in a group of Islamic State-linked militants or risk an all-out military offensive. In a surprise visit to a military camp in the town of Datu Odin Sinsuat near Cotabato, Duterte met with officials of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) as well as military and police commanders. Three days earlier, members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) briefly occupied a town market in the area before government troops chased them away. Duterte emphasized that developments such as peace and transitional efforts in the region were being threatened by BIFF.
