菲律宾议会对菲律宾总统罗德里戈.杜特尔特(Rodrigo Duterte)周三提出的将菲律宾南部棉兰老岛(Mindanao)的戒严令延长1年的要求投了赞成票。此前该地区爆发的与伊斯兰国(ISIS)有关的战斗在10月结束。
The Philippines parliament voted in favour of President Rodrigo Duterte’s request to extend martial law over the southern island of Mindanao for a year on Wednesday following the end of a battle there with an Isis-linked insurgency in October.
今年5月杜特尔特下令对该岛实施戒严。此前，棉兰老岛马拉维市(Marawi)爆发暴力冲突，涉及一个试图在东南亚建立哈里发国的伊斯兰分子联盟。
Mr Duterte in May imposed martial law over the island after violence broke out in the city of Marawi involving an Islamist alliance that attempted to establish a caliphate in Southeast Asia.
在马拉维被封锁的5个月时间里，有逾1000人被杀，其中包括几十个平民。还有逾35万人流离失所。
The five-month siege saw more than 1,000 people killed, including dozens of civilians, and more than 350,000 people displaced.
尽管在菲律宾军方杀死叛军中的两名关键领袖之后，菲律宾政府在10月末宣布冲突结束，杜特尔特寻求延期戒严令，以继续追捕与该伊斯兰分子联盟有关联的人。
While the Philippines government announced the end of the conflict in late October – after the military killed the insurgents’ two key leaders – Mr Duterte sought the extension in order to continue targeting people linked to the groups.
