The Philippines at war with MILF
"I do not think it is wise for the national government to talk peace with a terrorist organization. The prospect of achieving a peace agreement with the extremist group of MILF is almost impossible and I have given up hope of this," he said.

...For years the MILF operated openly across large swathes of Mindanao....
...But although the MILF has experience overseas, Mr Murad insisted that their struggle was purely a domestic one....
...The US government, however, is watching the MILF closely....
...The MILF does not deny that it has welcomed foreign visitors to its camps in the past....
you can tell the author had to try hard to keep it all straight, I read the article, and even knowing the seriousness of the situation it is difficult to give it the full respect it deserves with such an unfortunate double acronym.

I call it a nearly internationally untapped comedy News. HBO's Not Necessarily the News, SNL's Weekend Update, Colbert, and The Daily Show tap it....but to make yourself comedy news on every type of media that must cover you? It's like modern art.
and yes, it was an old article.
