Abu sayyaf – ellen tordesillas

In the name of drugs again

Published by Ellen on October 27, 2017

President Duterte is simplifying the root cause of five-month war in Marawi by attributing it to drugs.

There’s a problem in this version because it does not address the age-old and complex issue of the tension in Mindanao which security experts say is mutating into a more dangerous terrorist movement.

In his speech at the Commemorative session of Asean Law Association Governing Council Wednesday, Duterte said, “How did the Marawi siege start? If I may ask you,’Do you know?’ It was started because the police went there to serve a warrant of arrest of one of the Mautes, for drugs. When they went there to serve the warrant, they were met with a volley of fire, they had to call in the Marines.”

Here we go again.

Gloria Arroyo orders: “ Annihilate Abu Sayyaf.”

Is anybody taking her seriously?

We are not sure if the Abu Sayyaf, who’s capacity for terror has remained undiminished eight years after Arroyo boasted “Isang bala ka lang” is cowering in fear.

Sunod na sunod ang bombahan nitong mga nakaraang araw. Noong Martes lang, dalawang lugar ang binomba: sa Jolo, Sulu at sa Iligan, Lanao del Norte.

Noong Linggo, sa Cotabato City sa litsunan sa tapat ng simbahan.

Maraming namatay at madadagdagan pa ang bilang habang sinusulat ito dahil marami sa mga nasugatan ay grabe ang kalagayan.

Update: More than two hours after the blast, another bomb went off in Iligan City, Lanao del Norte province around 10:40 a.m.

Police said the blast took place at the corner of Sabayle Street and Cabili avenue, in front of a lending firm. An Army jeep which was passing by the area, was hit in the explosion. At least six civilians have been reported injured in the incident.-ABS-CBN online

Update: Maj. Gen. Juancho Sabban, commander of Task Force Comet. said he believes the bombing in Cotabato City on Sunday and today’s blast in Jolo are unrelated. He points to the Abu Sayyaf as suspects in today’s blast as a diversionary tactic because of their intensified pursuit operations.

The suspect in last Sunday’s bombing is the MILF.
