Peace talks have resumed between the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, a separatist group from the south of the country.

The talks are being held in Malaysia, which had brokered talks which collapsed 16 months ago.

An International Contact Group including Japan, the UK and Turkey has been formed to join the talks.

Earlier peace talks collapsed when a promised agreement was quashed by a Philippines court.

"The formation of the ICG finally clears the way for the formal resumption of the peace talks," said a statement signed by the chief negotiators of the two sides, released last week.

1. Another successful contract! We suck.

Can anyone back up that this conflict was started by yet
another of our 737 mercenary groups in this one of 132
countries?  Muslim contractors...  hhhmmmm from Afghanistan? 
We have over 100K of them there.... hmmmmm... two and two does
equal four, doesn't it? 
Well, when one has been duped for so long, it makes one wonder
if the math is actually real, huh?  
When we question math, lose our ground.

And I can't really make head nor tail of your post, but I can tell you that American mercenaries have nothing to do with it. This is an ethnically primordial conflict from before the US was a country.
