A close-up picture shows a gun of a soldier with a sticker from the Fleet-Marine contingent who were deployed in Marawi during their arrival at a port in Manila, Philippines, 30 October 2017. The Fleet-Marine, composed of more than 500 sailors, marines, seals, aviators, intelligence and civil military operations were given a heroes welcome by the Philippine Navy upon their arrival after a five month deployment in Marawi. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on 17 October declared the city of Marawi liberated after five months of fighting between the Philippine armed forces and rebels allied with the so-called “Islamic State”, or IS.
