The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) have been engaged in armed conflict in the southern Philippines for several years.
The BIFF is a militant group that broke away from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) after the MILF entered into peace negotiations with the Philippine government. The BIFF opposes the peace process and seeks to establish an independent Islamic state in Mindanao.
The AFP has conducted several military operations against the BIFF, with the goal of weakening the group's capabilities and preventing it from carrying out attacks against civilians and government forces. The AFP has also been providing security to communities affected by the conflict, as well as delivering humanitarian assistance.
The conflict between the AFP and the BIFF has resulted in the displacement of thousands of civilians and has caused significant damage to infrastructure in affected areas. The Philippine government has been working to address the root causes of the conflict, including poverty, inequality, and historical grievances, through various peace and development initiatives.
In recent years, there have been efforts to revive the peace negotiations between the government and the MILF, which could help address the conflict between the AFP and the BIFF. However, the BIFF remains a formidable challenge to peace and security in the region, and the AFP continues to conduct military operations against the group.
