Filippiinit (ent. Mindanao)

The Philippine president has sparked alarm among human rights groups after he threatened to bomb tribal schools, accusing them of teaching students to become communist rebels.

In a televised news conference on Monday, Rodrigo Duterte condemned insurgents for destroying bridges and torching schools in the countryside but said they were sparing indigenous Lumad schools, which he alleged were operating under rebel control without government permits.

“Get out of there, I’m telling the Lumads now. I’ll have those bombed, including your structures,” the president said. “I will use the armed forces, the Philippine air force. I’ll really have those bombed … because you are operating illegally and you are teaching the children to rebel against government.”

A Philippine mayor accused by President Rodrigo Duterte of having links with the illegal drugs trade has been shot dead in a police raid.

Reynaldo Parojinog, mayor of the city of Ozamiz on Mindanao island, was killed with his wife and 10 others at his home as police served a warrant.

Officers were fired on by the mayor's security guards, officials said.

More than 7,000 people are said to have been killed since Mr Duterte launched a war on the drugs trade in July 2016.

Police were serving an arrest warrant when they were "met with a volley of fire" by Mr Parojinog's security guards, officials said.

"The Parojinogs, if you would recall, are included in President Duterte's list of people involved in the illegal drug trade," Mr Duterte's spokesman, Ernesto Abella, said in a statement.

A spokesman for the Parojinogs denied that there had been any exchange of fire and said the mayor's camp did not fire a shot.

Mr Parojinog's brother was also killed in the dawn raid in Ozamiz. His daughter, the city's vice-mayor, was arrested and faces charges relating to drugs offences, police said.

Officers recovered rifles, cash and illegal drugs at the address, according to provincial police chief Jaysen De Guzman.

Duerten varallisuus on kasvanut miljoonilla sen jälkeen kun aloitti presidentin hommat. Tuo pormestari varmaankin kieltäytyi business ehdotuksesta joten huonosti kävi.

Some 7,000 protesters marched on the Philippines’ House of Representatives in the Batasan district of Manila on Monday as ultra-hardline President Rodrigo Duterte gave his second State of the Nation Address—in which he pledged to keep pursuing his bloody drug war.

“The fight will not stop,” said Duterte. “There is a jungle out there. There are beasts and vultures preying on the helpless. We will not be disheartened, we will not be cowed, we will not be overwhelmed.” He offered drug dealers and users a choice of “jail or hell.”

Clearly addressing the protesters, he said: “Your efforts will be better spent if you use it to educate people instead of condemning people.”

Indicating that the country remains divided over the populist strongman, a pro-Duterte rally was simultaneously held on the other side of the Batasan complex. But it is heartening that the protesters drew a larger crowd.

More encouraging still is that the protest was called by a new movement, Millennials Against Dictators, which has been mobilizing under the hashtag #YouthResist against Duterte’s “killing spree” and “emerging dictatorship.”

One of the leaders is social-media activist Shibby de Guzman, 13, who was a featured speaker at an “alternative” State of the Nation address the group held a week before the official one.

“Why do we let them abuse their power?” she asked at the event, noting the perhaps 8,000 extrajudicial killings since Duterte took office just over a year ago. Not surprisingly, she has been harassed online for her activism.

The group is also planning an outreach program for families that have lost loved ones to police terror.

“We want to empower families to speak up for themselves,” said 22-year-old Shamah Bulangis of Akbayan Youth, one of the coalition members.

Just two days before Duterte’s address, the Philippine Congress granted his request to have the state of martial law in the southern island of Mindanao extended through the end of the year—despite the fact that under the country’s constitution, martial law can only be declared for 60-day intervals.

Fighting with ISIS-aligned militants in the besieged Mindanao town of Marawi has left some 500 dead since fighting began there in May. But Duterte has threatened to have martial law extended throughout the country and use it as a tool in his drug war as well.

Vähintään 11 ulkomaalaista jihadistia kuollut tähän mennessä.

According to the Marawi joint task force on Tuesday (Jul 4), the Singaporean is believed to be among 11 suspected foreign fighters who have been killed so far as Philippine troops battle to regain control of militant-held areas of the city.

Fighters from Malaysian, Indonesia, Yemen and India were among the bodies recovered, said the joint task force, adding that it has not yet completed the identification process.

"A cadaver of a foreign-looking individual was also recovered by troops. It is believed that it is one of the reported foreign fighters from Singapore," the military was quoted saying in local media reports.

Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) told Channel NewsAsia that it was in touch with the Philippine authorities to gather more information on the identity of the Singaporean believed to have been killed in Marawi.

In May, MHA confirmed that a Singaporean man has been implicated in terrorism-related activities in the southern Philippines, but said it has no information about whether he is involved in the armed insurgency in Marawi city on Mindanao island.

Taistelut jatkuvat.
 
The raids from Monday to Tuesday resulted in the single largest death toll in one night of police operations since officers killed 16 people, including a city mayor, in a raid on a southern city on 30 July.

Senior police superintendent Romeo Caramat said on Wednesday that 67 police operations in various parts of Bulacan province had left 32 suspects dead in encounters with police, while 109 others were arrested.

The statement updated police records released earlier that said 26 anti-drug operations were conducted in 12 towns and cities, resulting in the killing of 21 “drug personalities”.

The records said 21 firearms and about 100g (3.5 ounces) of methamphetamines, popularly known as “shabu” were seized in the raids.

100 grammaa piristeitä, 21 tuliasetta, 109 pidätettyä ja 32 kuollutta 67 poliisi operaatiossa yhdessä yössä duterten huumesodassa. Luulisi että niitä huumeita nyt olisi ollut enemmän.
 
Varmasti mennyt viranomaisillekkin. Tosin tuolla on varmasti suljettu kaikki kujat mitä poliisit voivat käyttää. Rosvoilla hyvin aikaa siirtää huumeet kun kohteella johtavilla kaduilla taistellaan
 
Sixty people have been killed by security forces in the Philippines capital Manila and the bordering province of Bulacan under President Rodrigo Duterte’s violent crackdown on alleged drug users and dealers. By Thursday, the three-day operation had resulted in 223 arrests.

Reuters reports that this is the deadliest three days in Duterte’s campaign against drugs and crime that has left over 9,000 dead across the country since the strongman took office in June 2016.

The reasons for the bloody sweeps – known as “one-time, big-time” operations — remain unclear, as national police chief Ronald dela Rosa told reporters that, “The president did not instruct me to kill and kill.”

He added: “I also don’t have any instructions to my men to kill and kill. But the instruction coming from the president is very clear that our war on drugs is unrelenting. Those who were killed fought back.”

“Let’s kill another 32 every day. Maybe we can reduce what ails this country,” he said. And on Thursday, he said that he would not only pardon the police officer involved in the extrajudicial killings, but promote them as well.

He also ordered police to shoot rights activists observing the police sweeps, which drew an immediate response from Human Rights Watch’s deputy Asia director Phelim Kine. “President Duterte’s threats against human rights activists is like painting a target on the backs of courageous people working to protect the rights and upholding the dignity of all Filipinos,” Kine said. “Duterte should retract his reprehensible remarks immediately before there is more blood on his hands.”

Trump is in the minority of world leaders complimenting Duterte on his approach, which has drawn criticism from the international community as well as rights groups.

In response to calls to maintain the rule of law and respect human rights, the Philippines in May issued a defiant response to the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva. Using a term coined by Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway, the response said that reports of the killings were based on “alternative facts.”

Rodrigo Duterte has told Philippines police they are allowed to kill “idiots” who violently resist arrest, two days after hundreds of people turned the funeral of a dead teenager into a protest against the president’s deadly war on drugs.

Duterte broke off midway through a prepared speech at the Heroes’ Cemetery on the outskirts of Manila on Monday and addressed impromptu comments to Jovie Espenido, the police chief of a town in the south where the mayor was killed in an anti-drugs raid.

“Your duty requires you to overcome the resistance of the person you are arresting ... [if] he resists, and it is a violent one ... you are free to kill the idiots, that is my order to you,” Duterte told the police officer.

Aung San Suu Kyi’s office has accused international aid workers of helping “terrorists”, a claim that has prompted fears for their safety and been condemned as dangerously irresponsible.

The state counsellor office said it had learned that international aid staff had “participated while extremist terrorists besieged” a village in Rakhine state, adding it would investigate the claims.

The office, headed by Suu Kyi who is the country’s de facto leader, also posted a photo of United Nations world food programme biscuits which it said were found on 30 July “at the camp where terrorists sheltered”.

The government statements come during a time of spiralling anti-Muslim sentiment, stoked by hardline religious leaders in majority Buddhist Myanmar who accuse UN agencies, with little evidence, of supporting a faction of Islamist militants.

Facing claims of crimes against humanity for army attacks on the minority Muslim Rohingya population, Suu Kyi’s administration has sought to severely restrict access to Rakhine for aid groups and the media while publicly discrediting them.

“In light of the situation on the ground, the UN in Myanmar has decided to temporarily relocate non-critical staff out of Maungdaw,” a UN spokesperson said of the town in Rakhine, without elaborating.

A local reporter in the town of Buthidaun said he saw close to 100 aid staff leave in speedboats after the statement was posted on Facebook on Sunday.

The son of Philippine strongman Rodrigo Duterte has denied any involvement with a seized Chinese shipment of 1,300 pounds of crystal meth, worth roughly $125 million.

Paolo Duterte has been accused by opponents of helping to facilitate the entry of the massive shipment into the port of Manila, along with his brother-in-law Manases Carpio. According to Bloomberg Politics, a broker who handled the shipment claimed the smugglers had links with the two men.

Philippine authorities filed charges against the broker, Mark Taguba, in July. At a hearing at the House of Representatives on August 7 he said that he paid one million pesos a week to a group in Davao in the south of the country, where Paolo Duterte is a vice mayor.

He added that while he never met with Duterte or Carpio directly, their names were often mentioned and protection money was accepted on their behalf.

Both men strongly deny the claims. Carpio, who is married to the President’s daughter Sarah, said that he and his brother-in-law “have been publicly crucified based on rumors and gossip.”

“Both gentlemen are willing and ready to face malicious allegations intended to impugn on their character and credibility,” a spokesman for Rodrigo Duterte said. “The president has said in numerous occasions that he would not interfere.”

Sinällään en yllättyisi jos tuo Dutertes olisikin vain yksi huume pomo muiden joukoissa, joka on päässyt soluttautumaan hillotolpalle ja nyt käyttää asemaansa oman markkinaosuutensa suojeluun. Mutta tästäkin huolimatta pitäisin noita väitteitä tuon tyypin osallisuudesta epäuskottavina. Tämä siis siksi, että ei liene liian vaikeaa paikallisten rikollisten luvata vaikka mitä, jotta saavat salakuljettajat maksamaan suojelurahaa. Ja tuo Dutertesin nimen käyttö on voinut olla välttämätöntä, koska kyseessä on tyyppi joka maineensa perusteella ennemmin tappaa huumetyypit, kuin laittaa vankilaan. Joten miksi salakuljettaja ei maksaisi siivun bisneksestä, jotta saa toimia tämän alueella, jos tämä (tai ainakin suojelurahan pyytäjät väittävät häntä edustavansa) sitä pyytää. Toinen juttu on, että mikäli nuo salakuljettajat oikeasti olisivat maksaneet suojelurahaa, niin eikö se järkikin sano rikolliselle että kannattaa pitää suu kiinni tuollaisista? Päänaukomisesta ei voi seurata mitään hyvää, ainoastaan lisää kakkua ja jos syyte pitäisi paikkansa, niin ennemmin nuo tyypit eliminoidaan, kuin päästetään vapaaksi. Jos taas pitää suunsa kiinni, niin saattaa jopa olla että aikanaan joku vaivautuu järjestämään jotakin vastinetta maksetuille suojelurahoille.

Eli Duterte onnistui siinä, missä Carlos Escobar epäonnistui kolumbiassa. Huumeiden vastainen sota on epäonnistunut joka puolella maailmaa. Ei vain kaukoidässä taikka eteläamerikassa. Se toimii aivan yhtä hyvin kuin sota terrorismia vastaan. Mutta huvittavinta tässä on se fakta että setä samuli on se kaikkein iso pomo, ja hänellä on oma organisaatio joka on hoitanut rahaa valtion pimeisiin operaatioihin vuosikymmeniä. Joten ei mikään ihme että Duterte on ottanut oppia ja hoitaa bisneksiä laillisuuden rajamailla. Ihmettelen miksi suomessa mielensäpahoittaja eivät ole iskeneet tähän aiheeseen?

Siis sanoin, että "en yllättyisi, mutta en usko näin olevan". Tuo maa vaan on jälleen yksi maa jossa toimii ainoastaan korruptio. Ja vielä että jenkit pyörittäisivät tuota kaikkea, vai? Mielensäpahoittajat eivät ole iskeneet tuohon aiheeseen, koska eivät siihen usko.

CIA pyöritti huumebisnestä Calikartellin kanssa ja hoiti crack-kokaiini bisneksiä. Sormet on ollut syvällä myös a-maan tapahtumissa ja kaikessa mitä kultaisen kolmion alueella tapahtuu, joten mikä ettei? Katso esim Narcosin viimeinen kausi netflixillä ja huomaa kuinka CIAn agentti on hyvin vittuuntunut kun calin pomot kohtaa vankilan ja sitten kuoleman.

Air America oli CIA bisnes. Contra kapinalliset oli rahoitettu samalla mallilla. Joten ei tarvitse pitkään hämmentää ennenkuin agencyn sormet löytyvät sopasta, sillä kaikenmaailman paramilitary organisaatiot tarvitsevat rahaa ja huumebisnes tekee hilloa paremmin kuin mikään muu. Palkkamurhat ovat heidän vakiokamaa ja nuo henkilöt saavat rahansa tuosta kaupasta ilman että se pitää kirjata valtion tileihin.

CIA on hieman eri homma. Se ei ole valtion hallitus, vaikka kuinka salaliittoteoreetikot koettaisivatkin väittää. "Setä samuli" ei tasan tarkoita CIA:ta.
