AFP believes father’s death has huge impact on Maute brothers

From UNTV (Aug 30): AFP believes father’s death has huge impact on Maute brothers


 
The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) believes that the leaders of the terrorist group, Omar and Abdullah Maute, are affected by the death of their father Cayamora Maute.
 
“It would have a huge impact, of course, since his children are still in Marawi City. They are affected. This means that all people might be killed, but we should always be on the right side. What we are doing is goodness for the people, for the country,” AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Eduardo Año said.

AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Eduardo Año said he is saddened by the death of Cayamora Maute.

But with the Maute Partriarch’s demise, government forces are now preparing for a bigger battle in the event the Maute brothers take revenge for the death of their father.
 
“We have seen the progress and the advancement of our soldiers. We have already retaken the grand mosque. The area left to them is small.”

“So probably we are preparing for one big battle,” Año said.

General Año is confident that the battle will end sooner as there are only 40 terrorists left in the city.

The number of deaths on the part of the terrorists group has already reached more than 600 in the 67-day fighting.

As of current, soldiers still need to clear about 300 buildings in the now war-torn city.
