Moro Conflict

The Moro Conflict is an ongoing struggle in the Philippines involving various groups seeking greater autonomy or independence for the Moro people, who are predominantly Muslim. Since the 1960s, it has involved armed groups like the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and the Moro National Liberation Front, fighting the government over issues such as self-governance, land rights, and religious and cultural recognition. The conflict has resulted in violence, displacement, and peace agreements, but sporadic clashes continue. It reflects deeper historical, social, and political tensions related to identity, resource control, and marginalized communities within the predominantly Christian Philippines.
