Muslim rebellion crumbling

I thought this might be interesting to everyone since we talked about Islamic traditions and customs in Southeast Asia. It's been a real, ugly mess in the Philippines with the ongoing conflict between Muslims and the Philippine military. The constant fighting between the troops and the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) has displaced thousands of people in the Southern Philippine islands. Since it started, however, reports claim that nearly 300 Muslim rebels have surrendered. This may or may not be accurate depending on if similar reports have been censored or modified within the media. A lot of the fighting has occurred in Zamboanga City, Mindanao, Philippines, where 70,000 residents have been relocated to into a now overcrowded and unsanitary sports stadium. There is information that suggests the MNLF is angry due to being put aside from peace talks between the government and another Muslim group.
