Red God's Defenders

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Red God's Defenders are a splinter group of the Ilaga. It consists of approximately 300 armed individuals who have emerged in the Muslim-majority Central Mindanao region in the southern Philippines. They refer to themselves as "Pulahan", which translates to either "Red Warriors of God" or "Red God's Defenders". Their primary objective is to protect their lands and families from the atrocities committed by local terror groups and those claiming allegiance to the Islamic State.[1][2]
