According to the Philippine Star, Sultan Jamalul Kiram III has ordered his men to engage in guerrilla warfare against security forces in Sabah.
Jamalul confirmed that he has no intention of pulling his troops out of Sabah. “They are already in their homeland, so why come back?” he told reporters in Manila.
Abraham Idjirani, the Sulu sultanate’s spokesman said the fight for Lahad Datu would continue. He stated that the ceasefire which the sultan had previously called for with the Malaysian authorities were canceled and the men were ordered to carry out “hit and run” attacks against the security forces.
Up to now, there are more than 70 people, including 10 soldiers and police officers, who’ve been killed since the Sulu gunmen clashed with security forces on March 1.
