NTF-Elcac exec: NPA soon an insignificant threat

NTF-Elcac exec: NPA soon an insignificant threat

  • Saying the New People's Army (NPA) would soon become an "insignificant threat," the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-Elcac) on Wednesday renewed its call for its members to surrender.

The article from MSN discusses the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) in the Philippines, where an executive member, Joel Sy Egco, stated that the New People's Army (NPA) is expected to become an insignificant threat in the near future. Egco highlighted that the NPA's strength has significantly diminished, with only about 1,500 fighters left, a sharp decline from its peak of 25,000. He attributes this reduction to the government's intensified efforts through the NTF-ELCAC, which has been focusing on both military operations and addressing the root causes of insurgency like poverty and lack of government services in remote areas. The task force has also been engaging in peace talks and reintegration programs for former rebels, aiming to completely dismantle the NPA's influence by 2024.
