spiral of violence (part 1)

The "Maguindanao massacre"

On 23 November 2009 was an event in the Philippines that has been termed the "Maguindanao massacre" in the story and at least 57 people lost their lives. It was unfortunately also for me personally as an opportunity to examine more closely from this point on the Philippines in terms of safety, violence and crime and to increase the vigilance ...

The province of Maguindanao on Mindanao island, ruled the Ampatuan clan for tens of years. The clan chief of the Governor Ampatuan Sr. ruled as a brutal despot and kept all the important posts occupied within the province with members of his own clan. Something had to be now looking for a successor for his own governorship, he would not risk a "democratic" election, a possible loss of power, and the post rather transferred directly to his son. Therefore threatened the Ampatuan, the only possible opposition candidate Ismael Mangudadatu with death if this liese stand as a candidate for election in May 2010. When the Ampatuans learned that this is not intimidated by their threats and wanted to read register as gubernatorial candidate, took to the fatal plan.

To protect themselves, renounced Mangudadatu himself on his personal appearance and sent his own family and to protect them for about 30 journalists to accompany the registration for the candidacy. Andal Ampatuan Jr. ran with his private army to stop the convoy, some of the men raped the women and advised all witnesses out brutally. Mass murder in 2009, the one in Europe hardly notice! They buried the bodies, including the vehicles of the convoy prepared in a huge hole that you dug earlier with heavy machinery. Another vehicle which happened to come, was also encouraged to put to death the people in it and the other buried in a mass grave. An incredible operation, the legal processing and the output of today, more than a year later, yet to be seen.

The following day, the 24th November declared the then President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, a state of emergency on the affected regions "Maguindanao, Sultan Kudarat," and "Cotabato City". Furthermore, because of the incident all the police officials of the province were dismissed. Since, however, ruled dependence and anxiety of life in the province, there were clashes between the "loyal" militias of Ampatuan and the official security forces. The Ampatuans suddenly felt betrayed by the President, in the end it was she who (formulated friendly) you purchased the decisive vote on her election as State President. Even clearest suspicions about the manipulation of elections, then we had together "out of the way." Even weapons and military equipment supplied to her personal friend President Ampadual Sr., whose bloody torture and traceless disappearances of opponents should bring him peace. But instead of the expected endorsement to the "Warlord", the President was coming himself in the crossfire and had to fear for their political survival.

therefore imposed two weeks after the massacre of martial law in the province of Maguindanao. It justified this step by calling for justice of the families of the victims. Also, it was expected to sell the move more publicly, with the Grounds that the followers of Ampatuan allegedly brought into position. The clan chief Andal Ampatuan Sr., and other clan members were arrested. Since, however, still very vivid memories of the last declaration of martial law, at the time of the dictator Ferdinand Marcos, had mobilized the Catholic Church and several political wing opposition to this "political manipulation" that can probably handle suspected behind it. Because Arroyo was at the next election in May 2010 there is no candidate, trying to test their options to search for the power not to lose even more money and freedom.

So they examined include a plan for change in the Philippines to "parliamentary republic" with Making her first Prime Minister of the country. This pattern was indeed modified in 2008, Russian President Putin promoted by the chair of the President in the chair of the Prime Minister, globally with significant concerns for Democrats. Conversely, in the Philippines, many observers saw in the imposition of martial law, a trial run, if Arroyo would find a solution by peaceful means in their plan and then needed an alternative!

Since they did not get sufficient support for their plans and escalated the pressure against the laws of war, they soothed the public order, the laws of war "as soon as possible" back lift. Straight from the previous experience, as had been considered from 1972 to 1981, martial law for the whole country, was allowed by the Constitution remain in any case not exceeding two months in power. Nevertheless, the Philippine Army stationed more than 4,000 soldiers in Maguindanao. It lies declare that emanated from the private army of the Ampatuan clan grave danger. Also we had on the property of Ampatuan found weapons and ammunition, that about 1,000 fighters could be equipped, including machine guns, antitank weapons and grenades. That these weapons were previously provided by the President was of course not been discussed ...

The massacre was clear that the structures Philippine dynasties in other words the oligarchs family clans still intact. Even if you are public slip banter provides the target compound is stronger than the "soap operas" that were delivered on TV. It's about very large financial interests that are often obtained from corruption and secured if necessary with ruthless killings. Violence and injustice are daily business, not an end to the scheme identified. Even the current President Aquino, who announced to combat this condition, the "Truth Commission" has, successes so far been guilty.
