Can someone help me put this in their own sentence:

Since taking office on June 30, 2016, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has carried out a “war on drugs” that has led to the deaths of over 12,000 Filipinos to date, mostly urban poor. At least 2,555 of the killings have been attributed to the Philippine National Police. Duterte and other senior officials have instigated and incited the killings in a campaign that could amount to crimes against humanity.

After being elected into Presidency on June 30, 2016, Rodrigo Duterte (the Philippine President) killed 12,000+ Filipinos by executing a “war on drugs.” At least 2.5K of these killings were mentioned to the national police department of the Philippines. Many officials of senior positions, including Duterte, have reportedly triggered the killings in a campaign that would lead to inhumane crimes.
