Marawi crisis

[Swashbuckler]

Huge humanitarian crisis in Marawi, Philippines. Last week Maute fighters who pledged allegiance to IS took control of the city. Mindless killing of people, looting, forced evacuation etc forced Duterte to declare martial law for 60 days. Marawi is a Muslim majority city(>99% pop) and to do all this during the holy month of Ramzan proves the sort of beasts these people are. Casualties are increasing every day and airstrikes by the army aren't making things any easier for innocent civilians. Cathedrals have been burnt, churchgoers and school teachers have been taken hostage. Civilians failing to quote the Holy Koran( including Muslims) are being butchered. Hate these evil maniacs. Prayers for Marawi and hope normalcy is restored.

The Philippines Army is so under-prepared, still not able to contain the threat posed by ISIS which is feared to be spreading over to other cities.

A city with more than 99% of Muslim population? Not even Arab countries can boast this feat

Damn this is sad Phillipines was such a good place to visit for tourism with lovely beaches, party type atmosphere and good girls.. Sad to see such a country facing issues of terrorism feel sorry for the people over there always had a feeling they enjoyed living life to fullest and loved the tourists..
