MILF units in Mindanao retaliated by attacking Christian towns and villages in Lanao del Norte, a province bordering the Muslim areas of the south.
Without knowing the context, what image does this sentence produce?
In this case, MILF is an acronym for the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, a separatist group on the southern Philippine Island of Mindinao. They have been fighting for four decades for an autonomous region in their traditional strongholds there. After peace negotiations collapsed due to the interference of Christians on Mindinao, fighting resumed.
You gotta read in context. Otherwise, well, MILF's attacking Christian towns . . . It's like a porn blockbuster, no?
