In the Philippines, Communist guerrillas make a last stand
It's the oldest Communist guerrilla group in the world. The New People’s Army (NPA) has waged a violent campaign against the Philippine government since 1969. The conflict has killed an estimated 40,000 people. But today, the rebel group is struggling. Since the failure of a 2019 ceasefire, Manila has hunted down Communist sympathisers, mainly in the movement's rural strongholds.
