2 Maranao feuding clans end 20-year ‘rido’

SHARIFF AGUAK, Maguindanao: As the Roman Catholic faithful in the seaside town of Malabang, Lanao del Sur observed Good Friday last week, two big clans among the Maranao tribe involved in bloody rido or clan war for the past 20 years finally ended their dispute.

Members of the Balindong and Montaner clans vowed before the Holy Qur’an after the Army initiated a rido settlement to end their animosity that had cost many lives on both sides.
