Most Recent Developments
The cease-fire between the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), in effect since 2001, became jeopardized by a military clash between a force of 50 Philippine Marines and a force of an estimated 400, including MILF fighters, on Basilan island on July 10, 2007. Basilan is just west of the large Philippine southern island of Mindanao.

- To avoid a spiralling humanitarian crisis or a failed-state scenario, the international community should begin proactively to plan for a “post-Tatmadaw” scenario where the military,
