4:54Now PlayingRodrigo Duterte has declared martial law on the Philippines second largest island. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you why. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte declared martial law Tuesday night in the country’s second largest island after brutal fighting broke out between the army and Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)-affiliated militants — further raising human rights concerns in the country.
The island of Mindanao — which will be under martial law for 60 days — has been the site of ongoing skirmishes between Philippine troops and police against the ISIS-backed Maute militant group. On Tuesday, nearly 50 gunmen entered Marawi City, which has a Muslim-majority population and occupied city hall, a hospital, and a jail. They allegedly raised a black Islamic State-style flag at the gate of a hospital. The gunmen also burned buildings, according to Lt. Gen. Eduardo Ano, the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. Power was also cut, the Associated Press reported.
Fighting purportedly broke out after government troops carried out a search for and attacked a hideout used by Muslim extremist leader Isnilon Hapilon, the leader of an alliance in the southern Philippines. The U.S. State Department has offered up to $5 million for his capture for his alleged involvement in terrorist acts against U.S. nationals and other foreign nationals in the Philippines.
So far, two soldiers and one police officer were killed and 12 wounded in clashes in Marawi City, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said, according to Philippines-based ABS-CBN news.”
