The peace process on the southern Philippine island of Mindanao was nearing fulfillment in late summer 2008, but a last-minute derailment plunged the armed groups back into violence, displacing hundreds of thousands of people. The IPJ will report on its participation in an international conference to address the latest wave of fighting and strategies for resuming the peace process. Additionally, a photo slideshow of images from a direct action campaign, Mindanao Peace Power Day, will bring to San Diego the faces and hopes of women, men and children on the island who are demanding peace.
