The 106th Base Command of the Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces (BIAF) of Moro Islamic Liberation Front acts as buffer between two warring groups in Lambayong town, Sultan Kudarat Province effective November 18.
In an official communication dated November 24, 2013 sent by Abbad Salung, Chairman of the MILF-CCCH to BGen. Cesar Dionision Sedillo, Jr., Chairman of the GRP-CCCH, he informed the latter of placing forty (40) members of the base command at Barangay Punol, Municipality of Lambayong to act as buffer in order to abate the worsening and escalation of the conflict between Mauyag Tungkay, former Vice Mayor of Lambayong and Guevarra Sanday, a commander of the 106th Base Command.
The decision was well-coordinated with local army units in the area and other concerned authorities. Under the arrangement the MILF-CCCH and concerned government troops, the local Philippine Army is stationed at Udtong.
Chairman Salung said that in the past couple of months, two incidents of bloody skirmishes took place at Barangay Udtong in said municipality due to local politics and family misunderstanding and disputes over some claims. He also said that the conflict had severely affected and displaced individuals and families and the local peace and order situation in the area. Those that evacuated are hesitant to go back to their homes due to fear from being caught in the crossfire. Barangay Punol shares border with Barangay Udtong.
That arrangement resulted to the return of stability in the area and stoppage to the firefight between the two parties. Chairman Salung pointed out that the understanding of the 106th Base Command and the concerned Army units for the BIAF Buffer Forces is to refrain from displaying publicly and blatantly their firearms.
Since the buffer was put-up, a relieve-in-place had been undertaken every 5 days. Currently, Chairman Salung further said that the circumstances and root cause of the conflict are now being investigated by the MILF leadership in order to find out what can be best done to resolve the feud.
