Hambali told his jailers that another recipient of his largesse was the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (M.I.L.F.), which is fighting for an independent Muslim state in the southern Philippines.

...them. So what will change? We've changed the constitution so the state can't make decisions that are financially bad for the regions. We're giving the regions considerable power. Now if they want to build a road, they will build a road. We're going to transfer €15 billion from the national budget to the regions. The national élites don't know this yet. They don't know what decentralization means. In our country, 99% of the élite are Parisian. This is the élite that writes books about decline. But the future belongs...
