Self-declared Sultan of Sulu Jamalul Kiram III (R) talks to his brother Sultan Bantilan Esmail Kiram II (L) during a photo opportunity in his home in Manila on March 10, 2013, as the crisis continues to fester after his followers entered the Malaysian state of Sabah to reassert his claim over the area. So far 53 militants and eight police officers have been killed since the stand-off in Sabah erupted into violence and 85 people have been arrested for possible links to the intruders, Malaysian officials have said.
