Talk:Civil conflict in the Philippines

World Mathaba Organization
Gaddafi used his World Mathaba Organization to support various revolutionary separatist groups

Hasan di Tiro helped Mathaba and Gaddafi support the Free Papua Movement of Jacob Prai, the Kanak faction in New Caledonia, the South Maluku Separatists, and the Moro National Liberation Front led by Nur Misuari in the Philippines.

"the time, the Libyan government was reportedly providing military or other support to the East Timor Liberation Movement, the Kanak Socialist National Liberation Front (New Caledonia), and the Free Papua Movement (Irian Jaya) as well as to Muslim guerrillas in the Philippines."

"COLONEL GADDAFI'S shadowy international revolutionary organisation Mathaba, established in the Libyan capital of Tripoli and dispensing funds to liberation movements around the world, is run by a most unlikely radical. Tunku Mohammed Hassan di Tiro, a Sumatran prince, fervent Muslim and bitter opponent of Indonesia, is the chairman of Mathaba's political committee.... Hassan di Tiro himself makes the crucial decisions, and runs a personal network of contacts with the liberation movement leaders Libya supports, among them Jacob Prai of the OPM (Free Papua Movement) of West Papua and Yann Ce- tene Uregei of New Caledonia's Kanak radical faction,"

"In an exclusive interview with Pacific Islands Monthly, at his headquarters in Tripoli, he outlined Mathaba's organisation and aims for the Asia Pacific region. The Mathaba Against Imperialism, Racism, Zionism and Fascism, to give the front its"

"the various independence movements active across the Indonesian Archipelago, including his own Aceh Sumatra Liberation Front. "We are making advances against Indonesia, both on the ground and diplomatically, with Fretilin (East Timor Liberation Front), the OPM, the Republic of the South Moluccas; we are all one."

Orphaned references in Civil conflict in the Philippines
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Civil conflict in the Philippines's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "peace": From List of wars 1945–89: "Does Supply-Induced Scarcity Drive Violent Conflicts in the African Sahel? The Case of the Tuareg Rebellion in Northern Mali" (Nov., 2008) Journal of Peace Research Vol. 45, No. 6 From Moro Conflict:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 10:10, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Article title
This article is titled: Civil conflict in the Philippines.

From Article titles: "Article titles are based on how reliable English-language sources refer to the article's subject."

The lead sentence of this article reads: "The civil conflict in the Philippines as of February 2019, consists of an insurgency pitting Government forces against Maoist rebels, that began in 1969 during the rule of Ferdinand Marcos."

It seems to me that those two are not precisely in accord with one another. It seems to me that e.g., the People Power Revolution of 1986 could properly be described as a civil conflict in the Philippines -- one among many examples.

MOS:FIRSTSENTENCE says: "The first sentence should tell the nonspecialist reader what, or who, the subject is."

It seems to me that the lead sentence description of the content of this article could be describing a WP:SS detail article for a section or subsection in the Communist rebellion in the Philippines article.

It seems to me that the foregoing indicates that there is a problem here. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 12:05, 13 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Mmmmm. Perhaps insurgencies in the Philippines is a better title? This is meant to discusses insurgencies/armed conflict/rebellions starting from the Marcos years up to now.
 * Presumably this article can also discuss history of insurgencies and rebellions pre-Marcos. At least during independence, there are two kinds of insurgents/rebels: communist rebels/insurgents aiming to overthrow the government, and Moro separatists. I suppose this article has to discuss both. Howard the Duck (talk) 15:18, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Also, it seems to me that the article needs a date-range qualifier in the title and/or needs to provide info in its lead section clarifying the date range it covers (e.g.,Poscolobnial insurgencies, Post-independence, Post-WWII). In any cass e, the year 2000 strikes me as a surprisingly recent start date. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 17:01, 13 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Mmmmm I dunno where the 2000 start date came from. It could presumably talk about ongoing insurgencies though, so that presumably means the ongoing communist insurgencies? The Moro insurgency supposedly ended with the creation of the Bangsamoro and there had been no major attacks on that "front" since then. Howard the Duck (talk) 19:03, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
