Malaysian Peacekeepers Could Face Toughest Challenge Yet

[The Diplomat] As a new batch of Malaysian peace monitors prepare to be deployed to the southern Philippines amid an imperiled peace process between the government and Muslim rebels, they are being warned that they may face their toughest test yet.
