From Update Philippines (Sep 22): China concerned Chinese may be fighting in Marawi

Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member countries and dialogue partners are worried that foreign terrorists fighting in Marawi City might go back and spread terror to their respective countries.

This was noted by Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Officer-in-Charge Catalino Cuy during the press conference at the closing of 11th ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Transnational Crime (AMMTC) and its Related Meetings and Second Special ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on the Rise of Radicalization and Violent Extremism held in Pasay City.

Cuy, who is the current leader of AMMTC, said member countries expressed during the meetings that “they were concerned that the fighters who might be fighting in Marawi might go back to their respective countries and spread the terror when they get back home.”

“Because there are some identified Malaysian and Indonesian fighters in Marawi. So that’s one of the concerns of our neighbors,” he added.

“Even China, expressed concern that there might be Chinese nationals already in Marawi and they are worried that afterwards when the situation is resolved in Marawi they might find another place and they go back to their respective countries,” Cuy added.
