Philippines Extends Martial Law in Mindanao

MARAWI, PHILIPPINES - JULY 22: Philippine Marines soldiers in a cleared street but are still in range of enemy sniper fire as they walk towards the main battle area on July 22, 2017 in Marawi, southern Philippines. The Philippine Congress voted on Saturday to extend martial law in the southern part of the country since it was imposed to crush a rebellion by Islamic State-inspired militants. The decision was made two days before President Rodrigo Duterte delivers his annual state of the nation address as analysts have reportedly said Mr. Duterte appears to be using the crisis in Marawi as an excuse to impose authoritarian rule in the Philippines.
