countries. since then or if. anything it can. be. just the liberation of all this is just 8 announcement of a liberation. front in this clip and in the blink of an eye my children who've gone i will never see them again and that some bearable it's up to you but. what the president has a good lesson. is this only if you get. from.

whom you mean rude. crude. moves to me. we are on mindanao the 2nd biggest island of the philippines. it's in the south of the country a little smaller than south korea and famous for its natural beauty. this

is also the site of one of the longest running conflicts in asia it's mainly a conflict between the christian majority and the muslim minority more than 100000 have been killed over the past decades. may 2017 saw a catastrophic development the self-proclaimed islamic state also known as i got involved in the conflict. with just a few 100 fighters it seems the mainly muslim town of mirali and held it for 5 months. the consequences were devastating. the little girl the philippine president rodrigo due to known for his brutal 0 tolerance approach proceeded to bomb the city it will be a little. a little. 'd we want to find out how it was possible for us to gain

a foothold in the philippines. we meet someone who witnessed the battle for. the people they thought it's a joke how can you attack a city. and they cost tens of thousands of people. it's unthinkable but it happened and this is how terrorism plays its part because it can explode to break out anytime you're on your front and not again look mom is a historian and a member of a powerful muslim family nonetheless he has to ask the army for permission to accompany us into the center of morality it's now an exclusion zone the city has a population of 200000 that.

is not allowed to enter his house not all the booby traps and explosive devices in the area have been cleared away. soldiers tell us where we may go and how long we may stay people here called the exclusion zone ground 0 tens of thousands have lost their homes. this used to be the central mosque. he used to come here a lot of staying here and pray for the dead.

artillery mortar he took up there gunships jet fighters. there's everything west's 2 bombs. i was watching you the whole time but much of this stuff in trouble here. there was a time on the 2nd day of think my brother went to channel bautista. and us going to stop the bombings but the army rejected that because they say. they can't handle the situation. fontanes they were not able to handle the situation. i am taken downtown on may 23rd 2017 government forces responded swiftly and harshly.

in this type of warfare you have to flush out the enemy from the defensive position . if you look at the experience of. aleppo. all of this experienced bombings but in the case of. we see the hour when we did the bombings it was been pointed to specific targets only. the battle lasted 5 months more than a 1000 people were killed for the armed forces it was the toughest battle since the 2nd world war the i asked terrorists took hostages and murdered christians.

desperate terrified people sought shelter are no deano man's property both muslims and christians. i was not afraid i just want to make sure that everybody is safe i don't care about death i was waiting to die. i don't know i did not fear death because. you know i was schooled you know really just so. the situation. we never think about that as an enemy. if it's god's will that you die you die if it's god's will that you really believe even if you're. right in the middle of more solar. or in damascus where. after 12 days of siege food and water were running out and murali.

look man whose nickname is norway decided to flee with those he had been sheltering . in front of a building. a boy was blocking my path. i was right in that. ring and then when i got near. he recognized me and said no way. and i said what are you doing here i know you. are what are you doing here. i hope that he's even so proud of it and then after that he said this is no way that's let them pass let them pass so. when i passed by there i saw some snipers there in that building putting bullets in their guns. looking at me as if. but this they stopped firing and i felt so happy i mean you cannot explain the experience that in any other

situation but. i i felt that elation i think that it's almost divine. i'm still alive and people are alive nobody got hurt that's ok thank god. look man became the hero of harare he led more than $150.00 civilians to safety. in parts of the city that were not destroyed life looks like it is back to normal though martial law is still in force throughout mindanao. here stopped repeatedly at military checkpoints.

i. wanted posters for suspected i asked terrorists are everywhere. who are they. and what do they want. as we meet abdul he was recruited at the age of 17 he didn't have a job i have offered him money and a gun he says he trained in the jungle alongside local and foreign fighters. says i mean less obvious but not enough and the company taught us what the koran says. an eye for an eye. and we have the right to take revenge and they're going to claim since i've been in. the highest commanders launched the attack earlier than planned abdul wasn't in morocco at the time. you know mean alarm and i mean the question will last a long. when we heard that they have started fighting those of us outside my rafi

max and we discussed how to get to the center. i mean. not that i mean i'm a tried 7 times we even used motor boats to try to get in from the lake but it didn't work by a. lot of the. past information about the movement of government troops to his i ask comrades inside the besieged city by cell phone he tells us that 40 of his friends were killed none the less he could imagine joining battle again. so putting him when i mean it must not have an advantage because we young people just blend in with the population. the military conti's really identify which of us

are fighters who know how to use a gun and having no alabama fight there or another no coming on mocking them about it. i wouldn't fight in iraq and or in any other muslim area and the same thing would happen again. only muslim people would. have to battle to play somewhere else i would join some. his out of a job again and he's disappointed about losing the battle and about the empty promises i said made. the leaders of the i.a.s. fighters in morale we were 2 brothers omar and abdullah mountain members of a powerful clan they are revered as heroes by their young followers. but most

muslims on mindanao have no sympathy for the ideology of the so-called islamic state other conscious reef is a leading figure in the local muslim community he knew them out of brothers because of his long beard he has been dubbed bin laden as in osama bin laden. sharif likes the nickname even though he says he is opposed to violence and said that to the local i asked fighters. visiting me in my house and yet convincing me to join them sometimes they told me please join us we will make you as our army. yes and he will make us our leader actually when you have talking with media said brother bin ladin you join us because we

cannot trust him or if it had been governments because you had always betraying us so that's why i did become a. radical. sharif did not join the group led by the mountain brothers he told them he could not fight because he had heart disease. islamic state called on its sympathizers around the world to support the mountain brothers in the battle on mend and now. stay. in it is impossible because even you. when this water but the highlight of the pritikin go but i mean will not allow it to be if you see in that iraq. joining. me again so what. you know you will lose.

the sheriff run several religious schools in morocco way he says the kind of islam they teach is peaceful and has nothing in common with all us ideology. he tells us that muslims here are concerned to maintain their own culture independence is not a priority in fact he says many muslims in iraq we had actually voted for do territory. and yet it was the president himself he continues who provoked the attack on the city. look what our president did this didn't buy it did. ok you can bore. me and borg. in may on opinion this is the part of the i.c.c. but the gomery the go betterment or self-support because did that allow us to

negotiate with the devil yes. we accompany show reef to midday prayers in the mosque. feel. safe. muslims make up just 5 percent of the philippine population the majority are catholics almost all the muslims live on and you know all. cherish says that many here feel marginalized and abused by the philippine government a feeling only confirmed by the bombing of. 2

as a result of the conflict and the destruction tens of thousands fled the city. we visit one of the many camps set up for the displaced. is a widow and used to run a small shop downtown she has 8 children since the battle erupted she hasn't seen 4 of them. and you know one of my strength comes from allah only from allah he keeps me. think that. before i could hear my children's voices but not anymore. before in the middle of the night at 1 in the morning i could hear them crying asking for help

but now i can't hear them anymore my children are too far away already i can no longer hear their voices. for who have gone missing 3 girls and a boy were all in qur'an school when the fighting began. fatima and the 4 children still with her are tormented by thoughts of what might have happened to the others were they seized by the i.r.s. fighters are they long dead. or missing. trying to hide my suffering from other children. it turns when i pray to god to ask him to take my life. but when i see my children. i still so young. i will go about that in

every little my request and instead ask him to give me more years to live the good one among. one. who can provide. most of the children in the displaced persons camps don't go to school most of the families are poor. family an important person has come to visit some miracle talk she's running for the senate and if she wins she will be the 1st muslim senator in a quarter of a century she's critical of the way deter take conducted the campaign to retake or

just one of. the degrees of all of this is just the kind of announcement of our liberation but the real liberation is not living in this kind of the ways on this is not the way we were this is not the kind of life we want this is not the kind of freedom that we want for children missing amongst 1000 people missing is not an achievement it is a moral disaster it's in funny it is infamy for us. that can never be repaired. nobody knows how many civilians were killed during the siege. so mere a good talk takes a. to a mass grave outside of town it's not known who is buried here. none of the victims were ever identified.

is an example of discrimination of not allowing traditional indigenous mediation systems if we keep on making peacekeeping as a decision of only men in uniform and a national with local civilian population and it will always be a lock and failed experiment it's a failed decision my ra is a failed decision it cannot be any more used as a template for any other. the following day we have an appointment with the largest muslim rebel group on mindanao the moral islamic liberation front or m i l f we are told to follow the black pickup in front into territory controlled by the group.

for decades the rebels fought for independence from the central government in manila many thousands were killed in the fighting. wait wait wait wait wait. but since i has burst onto the scene the former archenemies the front and the government have become strategic allies. but now. we need a rebel leader who played a key role in dialogue with the government under successive presidents. god's only jaafari tells us of his determination to establish an a thomas homeland for his people found some moral. negotiations lead to a deal codified in the bongs

a more organic law the basis for the new bangsamoro autonomous region in muslim mindanao with its own parliament government budget and islamic legal system. what is the reason why it's not always seen how it is because of this injustice this young people are never fed up that's why then. the girls were just more. of course free and all. they isis. and they. better be. of the middle east. and. they believe. men are oppressed.

because. they are muslims are not satisfied. and mr maher administration there is no development. we are allowed to visit the headquarters of the military wing of the liberation front. as peace. the chief of staff isn't in uniform a sign perhaps of the shift from armed struggle to political action and

responsibility or we ask what might happen if the project of autonomy doesn't go well. then maybe they. are people or that they are saudi leads us but our credibility daughter people really become diminished. that the isis with. this station. all the followers of the will go in for their good will and the time that they can become bigger. for liberation front has a lot of support among the muslim world for many believe their ancestors were victims of a historical injustice committed by christians the spanish an american colonists and the philippine government in manila. the prospect of autonomy and peace has given

the people here new hope. the m i l f says it will disarm up to $30000.00 fighters once autonomy for the muslim majority region is implemented. what they are not then they stopped us going to them and we will not. the commission our forces and we will not also give up our fight arms which we promised that a government. the rebels take us on patrol. out in the marshes here there are still fighters loyal to i.a.s. lying low. we have the impression the m.i.l.f. men want to shoulder they are still in charge as if to say without us there can be

no peace on mindanao. the movements leaders evidently think highly of president hu territory for advancing peace but also because he too is from mindanao and has muslims in his family. history as you see it in diffuse process that's why i really thought i was president the deputy because obi hisper always met his action and all these. attributed the words have been displace that's why really but i suppose it that. we ask ourselves who does the land really belong to to the muslims whose ancestors settled on mindanao in the 13th century or 2 the christians who came much later but now account for the majority of the island's population.

we visit the village of mother 100 families live here they're all catholic. the only dance to combat looks after the small chapel the villages within the new bangsamoro autonomous region. of the civil simply. my worry is that we just don't know. if we go to the town hall for example we don't

know what will happen to us when the muslims are in palestine what they can do to us. even a minor one and not bomb and mean what's our moon said in that book i know that's why i'm scared when our date is in town and not christians. who are 8. and madge local guy did that mean i'm a good i don't let that was my cause i'm afraid that my robbery will happen again i saw what happened in the city was destroyed and our livelihood would also be destroyed if this were to happen somewhere here in our area daily income it was almost the in. god we don't easily live here. we don't want to be evacuated we don't want to live without direction and they don't want the muzzle in the mine

but with the man. woman who was a man who would carry. the villagers are descendants of christian settlers from the north most of whom came here while the philippines was under u.s. control which only ended in 1906. many here don't trust muslims. as you know living when muslims come to our village says no problem but when we go to where they are they want to cut off our heads let me in. the living in the most long as that's why we don't want them to rule in our community that it's on them and that's the attitude of muslims is very different from our christian attitude. the one minute it's terrifying. what will happen to our children when we have to live under muslim broke. muslims and christians are different about the love of the mother wasn't the stuff simply had not become the

economic and once the muslims rule they will make us the slaves and steal our harvest well and tell me what. i'm going to welcome to our. after church on sunday in a nearby village it's time for some cock fighting. it's a bloody spectacle and a favorite pastime for many in the philippines mainly among christians. even.

muslim religious leaders and the moral islamic liberation front disapprove not of the cruelty but because it involves gambling.

we reached the biggest city in mindanao. president to terror today was mayor here for more than 20 years. this is where he began his notorious war on drugs seemingly deploying the police as extra judicial hitman. estimates of the number of people killed ranged between 502-0000. the next morning we meet an old friend and confidant of the president faces today

sux. he invited us to see his fish farm. so this is what i earn my money beyond what they are and over there and more here than we think people from an ok. he's a busy politician so he soon heads back to the city. we arranged to meet him again later. in. the fall is the mainly catholic city and it's striking how prosperous it appears to

be compared to muslim communities on mindanao it is also considered the safest and cleanest city in the country. many say that's thanks to rob riggle 2 territories tenure as mer. case used to race in agrees we meet him again at his waterfront resort he says deter is a man of action not words watch only what the option that it takes that is how you measure him don't measure him by what comes out from the small he is doing to be unprecedented when he was mayor here for more than 20 years in the city that was his way of doing things and he had to do it hands on you know i he's my friend. during night time during times when there are high incidence of holdups all taxi drivers he would drive a taxi himself how about gun ready and drive and go to places where hold ups are

usefully happening he once also will be held up because personally. in his own way. drugs corruption violent extremists if you handle them with kids gloves and all that maybe you will just prolong the agony. for you but i'll try to research does p.r. for do territory when ever he can. for many years he was presidential peace advisor he explains the peace plan from mindanao to a group of visitors many of whom are fans of the president. once he's really. got. the racist says it's a very western point of view to accuse detail of abusing human rights and argues

that paternity is so popular because he both pursues reconciliation and in bodies toughness as he demonstrated with respect to morale we. give is a stroll signal to the bad guys that don't bear around read this country have been in the peace process under several presidents and we have not moved it as far as we have this time the president feels that wreath and improve as a nation if we had the right to give more authority and power for the locals. we head back to murali to meet normal dean look mom again. he shows us the small museum that his family sponsored.

and. the central exhibit is the painting depicting a battle between muslims and spanish colonisers who arrived in the 16th century and were the 1st christians to settle in mindanao. what happened in mari city is a continuation of the colonial war against our people. and that is what's happening now. and until now the circle i don't want city has the end result. and hopefully. we can solve this peacefully without going through a war. like i said. look

man says he's going to run for deputy governor political developments over the coming months will prove decisive. little little. he views the prospect of autonomy for muslims in the region as an opportunity to overcome old enmities but as a historian he's all too aware of a long history of conflict or many centuries or many decades for many generations. most of the problems that are being sought in india now has to go to war. every don't want war in a more but if it comes then so be it. at

the end of our trip we take part in a ceremony to mark the start of reconstruction in the wrong way well over a year after the brutal battle. well look. at how 0. the event had been postponed several times so that president deter take pretty tend . but in the end he doesn't show up. we leave mindanao with the feeling that regional autonomy will not amount to much unless the muslim minority see real and. proved once in their everyday lives. enduring poverty and discrimination would only keep the threat of islamist terror a life and render peace an empty promise.
