In the 1960s, political tensions and open hostilities erupted between the Philippine government and Moro's Muslim rebel groups. The Moro uprising was triggered by the 1968 Jabida massacre, during which 60 Filipino Muslim commandos to rebuild the eastern Malaysian state of Sabah were killed. In response, Noor Misuari, a professor at the University of the Philippines, established the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), an armed rebel group committed to the establishment of an independent Mindanao. In the years that followed, the INLF split into several different groups, including the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MOROM), which sought to establish an Islamic state in the Philippines. The Moro conflict is rooted in a long history of resistance by the Bangsamoro people against foreign rule, including the American annexation of the Philippines in 1898; Since then, Moro's resistance to the Philippine government has continued. The statistics on casualties in the conflict are different, although conservative estimates of the Uppsala conflict data program show that at least 6,015 people were killed in the armed conflict between the Philippine government and Abu Sayyaf (ASG), BIFM, MILF and MNLF between 1989 and 2012. The origins of the main articles: The Spanish-Moro conflict, the Moro uprising, and the Philippine resistance of Japan and the Moro resistance of Mindanao and Sulu Christian Filipinos who served in the Spanish army, in search of Moro rebels during the Spanish-Moro conflict, c. 1887. The rebel movement in Mindanao can be traced back to the 1500s, when the Spaniards arrived in the heart of Moro.

During the Spanish-Moro conflict, Spain repeatedly tried to conquer Moro Sultanate Sulu, the Sultanate of Magindanao and the Sultanate of the Sultanates in Lanao. The armed struggle against Spaniards, Americans, Japanese and Christian Filipinos, according to current Muslim Moro leaders, is part of the four-century national liberation movement of Bangsamoro (Moro Nation). The foundations of the modern conflict can be traced back to the Spanish and American wars against Moros. After the Spanish-American War in 1898, another conflict broke out in the southern Philippines between revolutionary Muslims in the Philippines and the U.S. military, which occurred between 1899 and 1913. On August 14, 1898, after defeating Spanish troops, the United States declared the Philippines its territory under the Treaty of Paris of 1898, establishing a military government under General Wesley Merritt as military governor. The Filipinos immediately opposed the foreign rule of the United States. U.S. forces took control of the Spanish government in Jolo on May 18, 1899, and in the city of Samboang in December 1899. Brigadier General John Bates was sent to negotiate a treaty with Sultan Sulu Jamalul Kiram II. Kiram was disappointed by the American takeover as he expected to regain sovereignty after the defeat of Spanish troops in the archipelago. Bates' main goal was to guarantee Moro neutrality in the Philippine-American War and to establish order in the southern Philippines. After some negotiations, the Bates Treaty was signed, based on an earlier Spanish treaty. The Bates Treaty does ensure the neutrality of Muslims in the south, but in reality it Created to buy time for until the war in the north is over. On 20 March 1900, Bates was replaced by Brigadier General William August Cobbe, and mindanao-Jolo was transferred to a full-fledged unit. U.S. forces in Mindanao have been beefed up and fighting with the Moro people has diminished, although there are reports that Americans and other civilians have been attacked and killed by Moro. The American invasion began in 1904 and ended with the term of Major General John Pershingo, the third and last military governor of Moro Province, although significant resistance continued on Mount Basak and Bad Djo in Jolo; in the latest case, the U.S. military killed hundreds of Moro during the massacre at Moro Crater. After the war, in 1915, the Americans introduced the Carpenter Treaty of Sulu. Moro's repeated uprisings against American rule continued to erupt even after the end of Moro's main uprising, in the pre-Japanese occupation of the Philippines during World War II. During the Japanese invasion, Moro waged an uprising against the Japanese in Mindanao and Sulu before Japan surrendered in 1945. Moreo Juramentado attacked The Spaniards, Americans, Philippine police and Japanese.

  • Political Clans and Violence in the Southern Philippines

Still, under martial law, an initial agreement between the state and the guerrilla was reached, which aimed to put a stop to the violence, but which, so far, has not been realised. Following the return of the Philippines to democracy, there have been many attempts at peace, which, in 1996, resulted in a peace treaty with the largest of the guerrilla organi- sations, the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF). The leading cadres of the “victori- ous” MNLF became part of the political mainstream, and some of the troops were inte- grated into the armed forces and police. The hitherto marginal Moro Islamic Liberation Front took over from the MNLF. In the following years, the violence escalated, finding its preliminary highpoints in several military offensives in 2000 and 2003. In addition to the growing violence between the MILF guerrillas and the state, the first years of the new millennium saw the gradual driv- ing out of the MNLF cadres from their political positions, the majority of which have now been reoccupied by the traditional political elite.
