Mindanao: Dispatches on a Constant War
The current conflict unfolding in some areas in Mindanao is tragic in itself. It is doubly so because the unrest there has been happening with bloody regularity for years now. As these stories would show — I wrote and filed them beginning with the “all-out war” against the Moro Islamic Liberation Front in 2000 — about the only thing that is different in the present war are the names of the military commanders running it. Everything else remains the same — the displaced civilians, the suffering children, the fragile peace process, and the ever-burning desire of the Moros to attain self-determination.
