Mindanao is a tale of brutality and ethnic political domination. The central government of Manila is accused by the Moros of being hegemonistic and oppressive. The presidency in Manila, while denying these accusations, played the military option by strengthening its armed presence in the southern region. The Christians took advantage of rampant poverty in the region to attempt to convert more Muslims to become bearers of the cross, an element that raised the ire of the Muslim fighters. The armed campaign gained momentum to the point that the Moros were controlling a large section of the southern Philippines, which has a vast Muslim majority of 6 million.
Russia and Chechnya may be battling building by building in the ravaged rebel capital Grozny, but they are also fighting a brutal information war in cyberspace. Since the Russian onslaught started in October, Moscow and Grozny have waged a war of words daily on the Internet.
