Misuari's original comrades urge him to support framework agreement

From the Philippine News Agency (Oct 24): Misuari's original comrades urge him to support framework agreement

Influential comrades of Moro National Liberation Front Chairman Nur Misuari who was with him when they formed the “Top 90 batch” of Moro rebels in late 1960s urged him to respect and support the framework agreement between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. “For the sake of Islamic brotherhood and for the sake of our suffering people, we urged Brother Nur to respect the agreement,” the MNLF Top 90 based in Lanao del Sur said in a statement. The same appeal was addressed to Cotabato City Vice Mayor Muslimin Sema, chair of another faction of the MNLF. “Please respect and support the framework agreement as the MILF respected the 1996 (GRP-MNLF) peace accord for the sake of Islamic brotherhood, our suffering people, and enhancing the Bangsamoro leadership towards peace, unity and progress in Mindanao,” the statement, signed by four Top 90 members said. Misuari had publicly rejected GRP-MILF accord. Sema, on the other hand, had expressed support but calls for unification of all Moro fronts. The manifesto was signed by Jamil “Jungle Fox” Lucman, Prof. Hassan “Sultan” Cana, Pacasirang “Nevada” Mamao, and Somerado “Mera” Pimping, all members of the “Top 90” group that led formation of the MNLF in late 1960s along with Misuari.
