Philippines’ death toll tops 100 as besieged #ISIS-linked terrorists execute ‘betrayers’
DUTERTE'S CHECHNYA?
►Duterte offers to hire Muslim separatists, Maoists as ‘soldiers’ to fight ISIS-linked militants
Philippines leader Rodrigo Duterte has offered Muslim separatists and Maoists
to join the fight against Islamic State-linked militants attempting to gain a foothold in the country.
Duterte promised to treat them as soldiers and offered them the “same privileges.”
"I will hire you as soldiers - same pay, same privileges, and I will build houses for you in some areas,"
Duterte made the offer
to the (Muslim) Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF)
and the (Muslim) Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF)
which both fight for the independence of the Muslim Moro people,
who constitute about 5 percent of the Philippine population.
Both groups have signed numerous deals with the Philippine government since the 1960s,
but the agreements have not been fully implemented.
(violence always upends/ruins any 'agreements'. )
According to the Philippine president,
the idea of separatists and troops fighting together against jihadists
came from Nur Misuari, the founder and leader of the MNLF.
He said that Misuari sent him a letter, saying that
MNLF fighters could volunteer to join the fighting in the city of Marawi
and other parts of Lanao del Sur province.
(pretty amazing... appealing to Philippine 'Nationalism' to override an insurrectionist / outside 'caliphate'. )

It's chopper versus sniper. As Agusta attack helicopters go low for an airstrike, Maute Group snipers try to shoot them down.

In just 1 area, troops had to face around 50 Maute Group members. Videos from another spot show about 20. Snipers still in many buildings
