After several more years of skirmishes, Philippine President Fidel Ramos and Misuari concluded a peace accord in 1996. Later that year, Misuari was elected governor of the autonomous region. However, clashes between the MNLF and the government continued into the 21st century. During the last three decades of the 20th century, the fighting between Moro guerrilla groups and the government resulted in about 100,000 deaths.
