UNICEF expresses concern over the recent violence against children in Pikit, Cotabato.
COTABATO CITY, Philippines – Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao interim Chief Minister Ahod Balawag “Murad” Ebrahim has ordered a no-nonsense investigation into the February 14 shooting of school children in Pikit town, Cotabato province, while warning “peace saboteurs” against using the incident to start a religious feud.
Ebrahim ordered a task force created last month to investigate the Pikit killings and the February 14 attack on the Pikit National High School students. “Conflict robs children of their life and childhood. Violence threatens children’s lives and well-being. We need to end violence. Children are zones of peace,” Noubary said.
Two days after the gun attack, investigators have yet to determine the motive of the assailants, and they were still gathering pieces of evidence and statements from witnesses and survivors, according to Colonel Harold Ramos, the provincial police director of Cotabato. Residents of Pikit have expressed their concern and fear over the escalating violence in the town, and many have called for immediate action from the government.
