COTABATO CITY — Two more enemy Yakan clans in Basilan that lost their members in a gunfight last November 8 in an incident that went viral on Facebook reconciled on Wednesday.
Brig. Gen. Allan Nobleza, director of the Police Regional Office-Bangsamoro Autonomous Region, said on Thursday that the leaders of the Asarul and Karim clans in Sumisip, Basilan have signed a peace covenant, ending a two-month standoff that residents in the municipality feared would escalate into clashes that can affect their lives.
The "rido", or clan war between the two groups was triggered by the fatal shooting of Nasser Asarul by Basid Karim inside a roadside eatery in Barangay Buli-Buli in Sumisip. Karim was shot dead too by policemen who were dining in the establishment.
“Now there is no more tension between these two clans,” Nobleza said.
Nobleza said the Asarul and Karim families agreed to settle the conflict during a dialogue at the headquarters of the 101st Infantry Brigade in Tabiawan in Isabela City in Basilan.
Nobleza said that the amicable settlement of the Asarul-Karim rido was brokered by Gov. Hadjiman Salliman, Sumisip municipal officials, Army Brig. Gen. Alvin Luzon of the 101st Infantry Brigade and Basilan’s police director Col. Carlos Madronio.
The two groups signed a peace covenant barely a day after two feuding groups in the Moro Islamic Liberation Front in Hadji Muhammad Ajul town forged a peace covenant that ended a three-year rido, touted as Basilan's deadliest and had exacted no fewer than 20 fatalities on each side.
The leaders of the two rival Moro Islamic Liberation Front factions, Geon Arasad and Tanad Nasalon, also agreed to thrive in peace anew through the efforts of the local executives, Army and police officials responsible for reconciling the Asarul and Karim clans.
