What is the ‘Abu Sayyaf’? How labels shape reality
Official sources and the media often represent the ‘Abu Sayyaf’ as a militant Islamist group or organization responsible for most atrocities in the southwestern Philippines. Frequently implicit within such representations is the assumption that the reported terrorist/bandit entity possesses the basic features of a conventional organization. Yet this assumption is irreconcilable with the many available descriptions of the armed groups labelled ‘Ab…
In a Wilderness of Mirrors’
Most media coverage of the ‘Abu Sayyaf’, an allegedly militant Islamist group or organization in the Philippines, derives ultimately from official sources, but the information provided by such sources has never been subject to scrutiny. To redress the oversight, this paper critically examines official and media accounts of the ‘Abu Sayyaf’. Beginning with a survey of media reports from June 2007 to January 2009, it highlights the contradictions u…
The “Lost Command” of Julhani Jillang
Little is known about the makeup of and connections between the various armed groups—state and non-state—of the Sulu archipelago in the southwestern Philippines. The article sheds light on these issues through the study of a notorious “lost command” on Basilan island in the 1990s. Drawing on primary and secondary sources, the article focuses on two kidnapping operations of the gang as a case study to infer its composition and relations with the M…
The Phenomenon of Kidnapping in the Southern Philippines
The Philippine government, military and media regularly represent the Abu Sayyaf as being the main perpetrators of atrocities in the southern Philippines. This paper challenges such representations through an outline of the phenomenon of kidnapping in the region. Opening with a vignette of the phenomenon drawn from primary sources, the paper then considers in greater detail its objective conditions, the identities of its perpetrators and sponsors…
The Alliance System of the Abu Sayyaf, 1993–2000
Unsettled conditions on Jolo and Basilan islands in the southwestern Philippines have seriously hampered efforts to obtain information about the Abu Sayyaf. The result has been a continuing ignorance over the most fundamental features of the group. In the attempt to broaden our understanding of its structure, this article examines data drawn from an array of sources in light of the authoritative work of Thomas Kiefer on the traditional Tausug all…
