The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) on Saturday said it has organized six groups to undertake a "massive information drive" on the newly signed framework peace agreement it signed with the government last Oct. 15. In an article posted on its website, the MILF said the six groups are to to explain the agreement, which seeks to replace the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao with the Bangsamoro political entity. "Members of the MILF number several hundreds of thousands throughout Mindanao, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, and Palawan," the MILF said in a report on its website. Chief MILF peace negotiator Mohagher Iqbal admitted it is not easy to understand the agreement, which he said had provisions constructed "ambiguously" to give both parties some elbow room. In explaining the ambiguous provisions of the pact, Iqbal said there are times the "rigidity of meaning" poses serious problems for both sides in trying to address the concerns of special audiences. For his part, MILF Da'wah Department head Sheikh Mohammad Muntassir said the six groups will be assigned to:
- Sulu-Tawi-Tawi-Basilan
- Zamboanga Peninsula
- Lanao area
- Davao area
- Maguindanao-Cotabato area, and
- South Cotabato area.
Muntassir said members of the MILF Central Committee were assigned to the six groupings and will be the lead discussants....
