Displacement in Lamitan City (family feud), Issue no. 01
On August 5, 2019, some civilians were displaced due to a family feud in Brgy. Lebbuh, Lamitan City. The feud began in 2017, due to a marital conflict which resulted to killings of family members on both sides. Those involved in the killings are believed to be members of recognized armed groups in Basilan, with a recorded history of killings and retaliation.
In 2018, members of the Coordinating Council on Cessation of Hostilities – Moro Islamic Liberation Front (CCCH-MILF) based in Basilan attempted to resolve the issue through a peaceful dialogue. While both families have agreed to settle the issue through traditional methods, the agreement was not sustained.
