THE Armed Forces of the Philppiines (AFP) would no longer allow the return of Filipino peacekeepers to the positions they have vacated inside the separation area of the Golan Heights for security reasons.

“Our policy there is if an encampment has already been taken over, the rebels have definitely ransacked everything in it. So it’s not safe anymore [for our peacekeepers to return to Positions 68 and 69],” Col. Roberto Ancan, commanding officer, AFP Peacekeeping Operations Center, said on Sunday.
