Stop the war, Maguindanao folk cry.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
COTABATO CITYTHEY ARE SUFFERING AND they want the fighting stopped, Ruby Sahali, social welfare secretary of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, said of the more than 4,000 families displaced by fighting between militiamen and Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) rebels in Maguindanao.
The evacuees came from the towns of Shariff Aguak, where the hostilities started last week, and from Mamasapano, Datu Piang, Datu Unsay, Datu Saudi, Ampatuan, Sultan sa Barongis and SK Pendatun towns, where it spread.
Sahali said most of the displaced families had received food packages from her office and from ARMM Gov. Zaldy Ampatuan.
I know our assistance is not enough, she said. We hope the conflict will be resolved very soon so they (evacuees) can return home.
Classes have been suspended, while farmers fear losing their crops as returning home was very risky.
Most of the refugees are housed in various evacuation sites.
