Election watchdog Boto Bangsamoro, led by Climate Conflict Action and the Early Response Network, reported a “worrying spike” in violence inThe latest incident occurred on August 10, when three fighters from the 128th Base Command of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front were gunned down in Shariff Saydona Mustapha town, Maguindanao del Sur.
She said the first settlement was brokered on June 15 between the MILF’s 128th and 118th commands. But less than three weeks later, on July 2, a firefight broke out in Barangay Lintangan, Shariff Saydona Mustapha. A truce was eventually reached on Sunday, August 17, through the intervention of ceasefire monitors, security forces, and the provincial government.The CCA said the violence showed deeper problems with the fragile peace process. The MILF’s decommissioning of weapons, a key part of the normalization process, has dragged on for years and was suspended once again weeks before the October 13 elections in the region.
“What may look like localized revenge killings are being intensified by competing political interests in the lead-up to October’s election campaign,” CCA said.
