#1 The government said it had complied earlier this month with rebel demands to move back the security cordon around them.

By Sunday, nearly 1,500 soldiers, police officers and armed civilian volunteers had moved back by about 15 km from the rebel position in the interior of southern Jolo island.
I wonder if that was sign of capitulation or clearing the area out and giving fair warning a fight was about to happen?
