Sorcerer 12,526 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Philippine government forces clashed with members of the rebel group Maute in Marawi City, Lanao del Sur, Philippines on Tuesday. Reports said armed men have taken over the Amai Pakpak Medical Center, with the group allegedly replacing the Philippine flag with a black flag, supposedly representing the Islamic State (ISIS). They have also reportedly blocked checkpoints in the vicinity. In a report to Camp Crame, the police office in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao said that at around 2 pm on Tuesday, troops from the Philippine Army and the Marawi City Police station encountered armed men in the village. A police senior inspector died during the clash. His identity has been withheld upon the request of the Philippine National Police (PNP). At least five soldiers were hurt in a firefight in Marawi City after alleged armed members of the Maute group took over a government hospital there. http://cnnphilippines.com/news/2017/05/23/marawi-city-clash.html http://www.rappler.com/nation/170739-marawi-dead-injured-maute-terror-attack?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=referral http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/news/regions/611834/maute-group-takes-over-marawi-hospital-soldier-hurt-in-firefight/story/?utm_source=GMANews&utm_medium=Twitter&utm_campaign=news I am so worried of my nation and the world right now. #PrayForMarawi #PrayForManchester #PrayForTheWorld Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorcerer 12,526 Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Post from Facebook: "Roads were blocked, fire trucks were seized, and everyone is questioned of religion. If you can't prove you are a Muslim, you are "taken care" of. I have received a message that my high school principal is taken as hostage. Along with her are many non-Muslims who strive to give education to young minds of Marawi. My sisters' classmates and their families are on their way to our house; they are running away from the threat of fire and bullets. Black flags are raised to claim dominion of the city. Churches are torched. This ignorance of religious respect is on an all time high. This is taking away the culture and the history of Marawi, or my memory of it at least. I grew up with non-Muslim friends and educators. I am where I am right now because of them. All the people who grew up from where I did are successful because of the community we were raised in. Instead of our homes, our schools, our hospital, and our jails, burn your ignorant and false extremist beliefs." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
