MANILA: The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (Milf) yesterday accused the military of violating the ceasefire agreement between the government and Milf, saying that massive uncoordinated military movements in areas close to Milf forces had been found early in the morning.
The leadership of Milf, which is the largest Muslim rebel group in the Philippines, said its commanders had reported that hundreds of Philippine army troops clad in full battle gear and backed with several tanks moved into the villages of Kitango, Tatapan, Kitapok, Maitem a Ig, and Pagatin in the towns of Datu Unsay and Datu Saudi in southern Philippine province of Maguindanao.
However, the government and Milf Coordinating Committee on the Cessation of Hostilities and the Ad Hoc Joint Action Group were not aware of these provocative massive deployment and movement, it added.
