Omarkhayam Romato Maute was a Moro militant who co-founded along with his brother Abdullah Maute, a Dawlah Islamiyah (Islamic state) group in Mindanao, Philippines, commonly known as the Maute group after their surname.[3]
Omar Maute died in the Battle of Marawi on October 16, 2017 along with Isnilon Hapilon.[1][2][4]
Early life and education
Siblings Omar and Abdullah Maute are are descended from a Maranao warrior clan based in Butig, Lanao del Sur,[3] the town where they were born and spent their childhood.[5] The brothers had worked in the Middle East as Overseas Filipino Workers. While working for secular schools in Syria and the United Arab Emirates, the brothers studied Islamic theology.[3] Omar reportedly was educated in Egypt while Abdullah studied in Jordan.[6]
Militant career
MILF
Philippine military sources state that the siblings' father, Cayamora Maute, was a senior official of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). After the MILF began to engage in peace negotiations with the Philippine government, the brothers criticized the MILF leadership and pledged allegiance to ISIS.[7]
Maute group
The Mautes, according to their relatives, later established connections with Ameril Umbra Kato, the founder of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF). The siblings reportedly sent representatives to Kato after the BIFF leader suffered a hypertensive stroke which rendered the left portion of his body paralyzed. After forging ties with Kato, the Mautes established the Maute group.[3] five other brothers also became involved in the group according to the Philippine military.[8]
On 10 June 2017 during the Marawi crisis the Philippine Army claimed that they were confident that the Maute duo had been killed in a firefight, although the details were not provided.[9] This report was later disproved. In September 2017, the military stated that Omar alone among the seven Maute brothers remained alive, as the other six were killed in battle.[8]
Personal lives
Omar Maute, who is said to be fluent in the Indonesian language,[7] is married to the daughter of a conservative Indonesian Islamic cleric. The Maute siblings include a third brother named Hashim who was detained in the Marawi City jail until 2016 when he successfully escaped.[6]
A February 2016 report states that the relatives of Omar Maute confirmed that he had been killed during the February 2016 Butig clash, along with a younger brother named Matti.[10] However, video footage found on a cellphone captured by Philippine government troops in May 2017 during the Marawi crisis indicated that Omar was alive at that time.[11]
On 27 August 2017, their father, Cayamora Maute died on the way to Taguig-Pateros District Hospital after suffering from difficulty of breathing.[12]
