marawi-battle-highlights-perils-stalled-peace-process-philippines

Interesting read - one I mostly disagree with - but still interesting. There are times you can not just say we have seen similar before.. because we have not. This is not a CT item - but a counter guerilla or COIN or FID item... of which CT is but one pillar of such a fight. More so -- this is but the start.. IS is combining and building off its success... and the Philippines has asked Indonesia for military support.
