Unarmed Malaysian soldiers have been in Mindanao since 2004 as part of an effort to end nearly 40 years of conflict that has killed more than 120,000 people and displaced two million. Libya and Brunei also have small contingents in the monitoring team. Malaysia’s mandate for the so-called International Monitoring Team (IMT) will not be extended after it expires in September, Foreign Minister Rais Yatim said. “The thing is, we have to get cooperation from both sides,” he said. “But if one party is not
making the effort, we will have to end the mission.”
