Not for the first time, Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has embarked on a scathing, profanity-laced rant against perceived foes.

In a speech Thursday, the Philippines leader slammed EU ambassadors for allegedly criticizing his war against drugs, and told them they had 24 hours to leave Manila. That deadline is now up.

The drugs war, a central plank of Duterte's election campaign, has so far seen at least 12,000 people killed by police and vigilantes, according to nongovernmental agencies. The president says it's a necessary measure to combat drug abuse in the Philippines; the international community has widely condemned it.
