菲律賓棉蘭老島戒嚴將延期一年

The Philippines parliament voted in favour of President Rodrigo Duterte’s request to extend martial law over the southern island of Mindanao for a year on Wednesday following the end of a battle there with an Isis-linked insurgency in October.

菲律賓議會對菲律賓總統羅德里戈.杜特爾特(Rodrigo Duterte)週三提出的將菲律賓南部棉蘭老島(Mindanao)的戒嚴令延長1年的要求投了贊成票。此前該地區爆發的與伊斯蘭國(ISIS)有關的戰鬥在10月結束。

Mr Duterte in May imposed martial law over the island after violence broke out in the city of Marawi involving an Islamist alliance that attempted to establish a caliphate in Southeast Asia.

今年5月杜特爾特下令對該島實施戒嚴。此前，棉蘭老島馬拉維市(Marawi)爆發暴力衝突，涉及一個試圖在東南亞建立哈里發國的伊斯蘭分子聯盟。

The five-month siege saw more than 1,000 people killed, including dozens of civilians, and more than 350,000 people displaced.

在馬拉維被封鎖的5個月時間裏，有逾1000人被殺，其中包括幾十個平民。還有逾35萬人流離失所。

While the Philippines government announced the end of the conflict in late October – after the military killed the insurgents’ two key leaders – Mr Duterte sought the extension in order to continue targeting people linked to the groups.

儘管在菲律賓軍方殺死叛軍中的兩名關鍵領袖之後，菲律賓政府在10月末宣佈衝突結束，杜特爾特尋求延期戒嚴令，以繼續追捕與該伊斯蘭分子聯盟有關聯的人。
