For the latest on #WhatshappeninginMyanmar Subscribe to the Daily Briefing newsletter https://english.dvb.no/newsletter/First-ever election in Philippines Bangsamoro regionDVB English News2026-09-15 | Voting got underway on Sept. 14 in the Philippines' Muslim-majority south under heightened security after three people were killed and 15 wounded in election-eve violence, in a landmark vote seen as a crucial test of a peace process aimed at bringing lasting peace and development to a region once torn by separatist conflict and extremism.
The Commission on Elections (COMELEC), which placed Cotabato City under its control after the violence, said voting was proceeding smoothly across the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) and that it did not expect broader unrest, citing expanded checkpoints and the swift deployment of security forces.
In the municipality of Pahamuddin, voters queued early amid tight security. “I hope that whoever we voted for, their promises would be honoured and their hopes of peace would be granted,” said resident Ali Baguilan.
Nearly 2.4 million voters are registered for the historic vote, which international partners and peace monitors view as a key test of whether the autonomy granted under a landmark peace deal between Manila and Muslim separatists can be sustained through elected institutions.
The election completes a transition set in motion by a 2014 peace agreement between Manila and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), the country's largest Muslim separatist group, and the subsequent Bangsamoro Organic Law, which granted greater political and economic powers to the Muslim-majority south.
The grant of autonomy was intended to halt a conflict that killed more than 120,000 people, displaced about two million, and helped extremist groups gain a foothold in the region.
The Bangsamoro spans parts of Mindanao, the Philippines' second-largest island, and a chain of dozens of smaller islands to the west, once associated with piracy and banditry.

U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said humanitarian assessments were providing a clearer picture of needs in communities affected by the flooding. "As assessments of the situation continue, we're getting a clear picture of what people need," Dujarric told reporters.
According to the U.N,, about 65,000 people require emergency water, sanitation and hygiene assistance. More than 22,000 children need protection services, while an estimated 2,600 children under the age of five are expected to require treatment for severe wasting.
The U.N. also said around 10,500 pregnant and breastfeeding women need nutrition assistance as aid agencies work to reach affected communities.
Flood damage has extended to schools and community infrastructure. Dujarric said 19 schools have been damaged, including nine that were completely destroyed, while eight others are being used to shelter displaced families.
More than 10,000 school-age children require psychosocial support, he said. Preliminary reports indicate that 107 children may have been separated from parents or caregivers during the disaster.
"Family tracing and reunification is now an urgent priority," Dujarric said.
Access remains the main challenge.
Dujarric said roads are usable only as far as Nuwakot and that sections of the Prithvi Highway are completely blocked. Power has been restored in the districts of Dhading and Nuwakot, while restoration work continues in Rasuwa, one of the areas hardest hit by the floods.

In this episode of G-Taw Zagar Wyne, Nandar speaks to Nurhayati Ali (aka Phoo Pwint Wai), a Rohingya feminist activist, artist, and aspiring dentist.
Nurhayati Ali shares her background, her experience resettling in the U.S. as a member of the very first Rohingya family in the state of Wisconsin in 2002, and the biggest challenges of growing up as a Rohingya refugee in the U.S.
She is the co-founder and Director of Health and Human Services at the Rohingya Maìyafuìnor Collaborative Network, a women-led, refugee-led, and Rohingya-led organisation working on human rights, sexual and gender-based violence prevention, education, and translocal solidarity with a focus on women, peace, and security.
This interview explores the driving force behind Nurhayati Ali's deep commitment to human rights, healthcare, and women's empowerment.
In addition, she discusses how her background in neurobiology and dentistry intersects with community advocacy, her plans to address healthcare shortages in refugee camps as RMCN’s Director of Health, and how creative outlets like drawing support her personal healing.
Finally, she explains why advocacy must be refugee-led, how RMCN’s intersectional feminist approach builds self-belief in young women, the importance of authentic storytelling, and an inspiring message of strength for young Rohingya women and girls trying to grow, heal, and rise despite adversity.
