‘Stop the blame game’

THE Marawi City siege has apparently resulted in a blame game among a Muslim front against the Islamic State (IS) supporters and the people criticizing their local officials for denying the presence of armed group in their localities.

This, after a leader of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) urged the Maranao people to blame the bandits supporting IS who stormed the city, while residents in four coastal towns of Sarangani province blamed their local officials for denying reports on the presence of fully armed men who disembarked along the shoreline last week.
