Watch! Actual Video of the ongoing encounter between government troops and BIFF group.
This happened two days ago from the dawn of March 18 until now, March 20 this year.
The actual incident resulted in about 60 thousands of civilians fleeing the towns of Datu Saudi Ampatuan, specifically in Brgy ng Kitango and Brgy Libutan.
In the video, the armed men use the Maguindanao dialect and are stationed on the side of the road. One by one, they went out on the road and fired their guns directly at their opponent (military) who was not seen in the video.
According to the military, in the early hours of March 18, they saw armed men so they fired cannons before dawn, followed by a clearing operation in the areas mentioned.
BARMM Government agencies, particularly the MSSD, responded immediately by distributing emergency kits, food and more. Likewise the MOH office immediately visited the condition of the evacuees to assess their needs.
