We should admire the Presidency for offering his hands of peace to the NDF, and other rebel groups. However, as a former idealouge myself, a leftist during college days, I know that the leadership, once they have taken a position, they will not change. For most leftists, it is Hegelian dialectics. The nations and society can only move through incessant conflicts; not dialogues. Thus the expensive, overseas peace talks will lead only to one thing. Nothing
As we see, the govt and the NDF have been dancing around on a purported peace talk and nothing gets done with the NDF advancing difficult unachievable agenda, and coupling that with double talk. Peace negotiation with kidnappings and attacks on security forces of the govt.
As far as other terrorists are concerned, they only understand one language - force. Violence. They also fear death. Once you terrorize their communities and relatives, then they can understand the wrong they have been doing. As being done with the ISIS Maute group. Next time they will think 30 times before they will launch anything. Even fellow Muslims wish them well that they get annihilated for causing all the harm to Marawi
