Factors and forces that led to the Marawi debacle

By Criselda Yabes | Oct 20, 2019 12:35 PM

The battle of Marawi in 2017, in the heart of the Islamic city in Lanao del Sur province, deviated into violent extremism that opened more fears for the future in what was an undertaking by mostly a generation of millennial fighters. The siege that lasted five months, from May to October, was unprecedented in magnitude, challenging the military in doctrine and tactics, and prompting daily sorties of air strikes that reduced Marawi to a state of destruction. It was unbelievable that two principal brothers of a family attached to the political and business elite of the Maranaos – the Muslim ethnic tribe of Lanao del Sur – had raised the stakes of Islamism beyond the call for autonomy in a fractured land.

Sinabi ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa unang bahagi ng buwan na ito na ang krisis sa Marawi ay “hindi isang hayag na paghihimagsik,” na kabaligtaran ng kanyang opisyal na pagbibigay-katwiran sa pagdeklara ng martial law sa Mindanao noong nakaraang taon.
