Philippine government negotiators and a Maoist rebel group have struck a
deal for a temporary joint ceasefire and plans to free prisoners after days
of talks in the Netherlands, an official and domestic broadcaster ANC said
on Wednesday. Communist New People’s Army rebels have been waging
protracted guerrilla warfare for nearly five decades in rural areas in the
poor Southeast Asian country, killing more than 40,000 people. Peace talks
between the rebels’ political arm, the National Democratic Front, and the
government, brokered by Norway, resumed this week in the Netherlands, hoping
to reach a political settlement in 12 months to end the conflict. (Reuters) |
