The Moro National Liberation Front

“...We govern our children without their consent...Would not the people of the Philippines prefer the just, human, civilizing government of this Republic…” (Doc B, Albert J. Beveridge). I disagree with this black and white view of the world. The Filipinos are grown people capable of making the best decision for themselves. Children are not (due to their undeveloped frontal lobes). They do not need America to save them. They wanted freedom enough to attempt war with Spain, a global power, so they have earned that

The Filipino people had helped the US fight the Spanish-American War in hope to gain independence in return. However, instead of gaining independence the Philippines was annexed to the United States on December 10, 1898. When the Filipino’s had found they were going to be ruled over once again they were very unhappy, after all they had helped the US. When Aguinaldo had found out that the Philippines were going to be controlled by the US, he had declared war on the United States.

There can be no doubt that we had full knowledge that they were fighting for their own independence.” The United States understands that the Filipinos wants their own independence but still annexed the Philippine because they think it was the right thing to do without asking the Filipinos what they want and their

By showing an example of courage to counter the bravery against the America and their domination which shows that they have no fear and they did not lost their hope in life. Rather, they manage to endure, no matter what comes to their front in the matter of their oppression they still try to fight not just being silent. As the authors pointed out that the league insist about imperialist ideas that “Much as we abhor the war of "criminal aggression" in the Philippines, greatly as we regret that the blood of the Filipinos is on American hands, we more deeply resent the betrayal of American institutions at home.” There is no doubt that the America portrayed a great state but their doing of evil things of killing people is not tolerable to any human history. Also, it hard to find out if the enemy is the own homeland and support the America’s domination as they not only the breaking the trust of the country as they reason for the death of the other

The Third World Liberation Front: Taking a Stand for Racial Equality and Diversity As the Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam War, and a multitude of other global conflicts continued throughout the 1960s, a growing desire for prosperity and harmonious domestic and international relations emerged. The violence which U.S. citizens watched on televisions, heard on radios, or read in books, newspapers, and journals yielded a widespread compassion for victims and a yearning for national peace. Racially motivated persecution and America’s institutionalized racism angered many which led to hopes for racial equality and fair representation of people of color. Understanding the significance of people’s racial heritage and identity became increasingly important

The National Liberation Army (ELN) was established July, 4th 1964 by college students and a group of radical, Catholic clergy that were inspired by the revolution that took place in Cuba (Stanford, 2012). Since its inception, the ELN have had an ongoing rivalry with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia (FARC), due to a constant power struggle between the two groups.

The Special Inspector-General for Afghanistan Reconstruction’s (SIGAR) quarterly report for January is a bleak read. At close to 30%, not only do the Taliban hold more Afghan territory than any time after the 2001 invasion, but "The insurgency is spreading (Afghan forces) thin, threatening rural districts in one area while carrying out ambitious attacks in more populated centers." The Taliban trifecta of high-stakes attacks in late 2015 adds weight to SIGAR’s assessment. Moreover, even before militants briefly overran Kunduz, Kandahar airport and besieged Sangin district, UN figures revealed a 19% increase in “security incidents” between August and October.

The second half of the twentieth century was a time of revolution in Latin America and Nicaragua was a country that was forever changed by that time period. The Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN), also known as the Sandinistas, were an insurgency that was started by three college students who sought to overthrow a dictator and establish a Marxist style of government in the small central American country of Nicaragua. They learned from their defeats and learned how to be self-sufficient so that they could fight a long, protracted war. They were successful in their efforts and after eighteen years of conflict they overthrew a dictatorship and established a new government in their country.

Front does is make sure that no harm that comes to human life with their attacks. The most common targets of the Earth Liberation Front are large business corporations, such as ski resorts and large home development companies. Others tend to be research centers that test their products on animals. The Earth Liberation Front in the United States is best known for their destruction of Vail Ski Lodge in Colorado causing $12million in damage (Dejevsky, 1998). On October 18, 1998 Vail Ski Lodge had five buildings and four ski lifts reduced to ashes because Vail Inc. was given permission to expand their resort. This expansion would tear down around 800 acres of forest ruining the project to reintroduce the lynx to the area. This caused over $12million

Even though there is talk of peace between the state and the leaders of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (known by its Spanish acronym, FARC)” (Maddiloni 2009) , the country’s largest insurgent group which halted the violence in 2016, FARC remains active, and many of the smaller groups that are off shoots and fragments still cause havoc in Columbian cities. This process faces many challenges, including widespread public concern that the peace deal offers too much leniency to offenders of violence. But the deal’s backers are hopeful that the early phases of demobilization, which are already underway, will lead to a sustainable

"In the early 1990s, Osama bin Laden's brother-in-law funneled money into Abu Sayyaf through a fake Islamic charity in the Philippines (Shay)." It means this group have had some sort of connection with international terrorist organization to train their members, collection financial resources, and coordinating attacks. At the beginning period, they turned to violence act to gain recognition, engaging in bombing, and kidnapping with special target of Christian and westerners. This terrorist group carried out first attack in 1991, killing two American evangelists with hand grenades on the southern island of Mindanao. After that they carried out many attacks, bombing, and kidnapping for ransom money.

By the late 1960s, Italy had suffered through World War II. It had seen the Vietnam War unfold before them. Furthermore, it had experienced a dramatic urbanization from an agrarian society to an urban one. Such a shift precipitated the appeal for communism. Into this complicated political and socio-economic arena came the Red Brigades. The Red Brigades were an Italian terrorist organization with a strong emphasis on Marxism. Founded in 1969 by radical left-leaning students Renato Curcio and his wife Mara Cagol, the Red Brigades began a reign of terror that . In order to fully assess the impact of the Red Brigades in Italy, it is necessary to answer a central question: why were the Red Brigades so violent? The Red Brigades had ties to

Formed in November 2011, a Foreign Terrorist Organization was created to function under the sharia law, they are now known as

In modern times, the Philippines has been a central ally in the United States’ Asian and Pacific policies. The government structure is similar to that of the United States, including a legislative, judicial, executive branch that independent in their roles. Since becoming a nation independent from the United States, the Philippines has seen its share of success and failure. In the past three years the government has dealt with natural disasters, terrorism, and Chinese aggression. While the Philippine and United States governments have generally been cordial and cooperative, the Philippine president is currently weighing the decision to cut ties with the United States and align his country with China.
