Local leaders seek to end MILF ‘rido’ in Maguindanao
Local leaders in Pagalungan, Maguindanao del Sur successfully brokered a ceasefire between two feuding factions of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in Barangay Kilangan.
The agreement, facilitated by the local government, military, and Muslim religious leaders, aims to end a long-standing family feud, known as 'rido,' between the involved MILF groups.
Mayor Abdullah Mamasabulod stated that both MILF factions have agreed to cease hostilities immediately and cooperate in assisting displaced civilians to return to their homes.
The conflict primarily involved Datu Teng Matalam, a former village chair and MILF official, and a group led by Ustadz Norodin, also affiliated with the MILF.
The Army's 40th Infantry Battalion warned the MILF leaders that failure to adhere to the peace accord would compel the military to use force to ensure civilian protection.
The local social welfare office has already provided assistance and emergency food supplies to the civilians affected by the hostilities.
