The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) through its negotiating peace panel will appoint a new head of its Coordinating Committee on the Cessation of Hostilities (CCCH) in the light of the appointment of Said Sheikh, currently MILF CCCH chief, to the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) last March 15.
This was learned from no less than Mohagher Iqbal, head of the MILF negotiating peace panel and also of the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC), who told Luwaran that it is time to look for Said’s replacement, saying membership in the BTC requires focus, dedication, and much leg-working.
He described Said as a very competent person, a team-worker, and very loyal to the MILF and the Bangsamoro people’s cause.
“We do not want to replace him,” Iqbal said, “but time has come that we have to do what we do not like.”
Asked to Said’s replacement, Iqbal said he will consult the military arm of the MILF and request them to recommend at least names from where the new MILF CCCH chief would be selected.
Heads of both the government and MILF CCCHs are appointed by their respective peace panel chairmen.
Pressed to provide more clues of who will be that person, Iqbal merely said, “I would prefer him to come from the island provinces,” which he described as emerging new strongholds of the MILF.
