The Philippine National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council reports that its gov't is assisting the families who have fled.

According to a spokesperson, Azzimudie is still in Sabah, where he has continued to evade Malaysian security forces.

They were arrested off Tawi-Tawi as they returned from Sabah on Wednesday, says the spokesperson for the Sulu sultanate.

Princess Jacel Kiram began using the handle @jacelkiram yesterday and, as of this posting, already had 2,057 followers.

It seizes firearms and ammunition from suspected followers of the Sulu sultanate who were intercepted in Tawi-Tawi.


His aide says although the family had okayed the dialogue, it was the Philippine interior secretary who cited 'disengagement'.

Efforts should be made to ensure that human rights will be respected and loss of life prevented, the M'sian envoy was told.

Fatima Kiram says the act is ‘unislamic’ and scoffs at suggestions Malaysia is seeking to extradite Jamalul Kiram III.

UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon has urged an end to violence and the start of a dialogue to end the conflict in Sabah.
