rickysaidso Will war break out in Mindanao Philippines before October 2008?
Voided
The initial odds on Yes are extremely high. This is then to be understood as: War is almost certain. But given the willingness of the Philippine government to negotiate with MILF and to help them with security for their election, outright war is not 90% likely. Void for incorrect initial odds.
Background:
Background: The government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Frong (MILF), a secessionist group tagged as an "international terrorist organisation" has reached an agreement which would grant sovereign powers to the MILF. Under the deal, the MILF will govern their own state which will exist within the Philippine state. Various groups are opposing the deal, calling it a sham. While all of these are happening, armed groups in Mindanao are reportedly preparing for war.
