Gov’t, MILF troops tapped to pacify warring Bangsamoro clans

In the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, a peacekeeping force has been deployed to stop a clan feud, or "rido," from worsening. The Joint Peace and Security Team, including government and MILF troops, has been tasked with maintaining peace after the conflict left two people dead. This move is crucial as escalating violence could threaten the stability of the region and undermine efforts to foster peace and development. The deployment highlights the ongoing challenges in maintaining peace among local factions despite broader peace agreements.
