The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) appointed a new chairman hailing from the Province of Basilan for its Coordinating Committee on the Cessation of Hostilities (CCCH), the main ceasefire pillar for the peace process between the Government of the Philippines (GPH) and the MILF.
Mohagher Iqbal, Chairman of the MILF Peace Negotiating Panel, issued the appointment for Mr. Abbas Salung, who has been a member of the MILF CCCH since 2007.
Iqbal said Salung was appointed as Acting Chairman of the MILF CCCH effective May 1, 2013 to assume the position vacated by former MILF CCCH Chairman Said Shiek following his appointment as a Member of the Bangsamoro Transition Commission.
Salung is the first ever Chairman of the MILF CCCH from the Province of Basilan.
“The MILF has full trust and confidence with Brother Salung. Salung has proven his commitment, competence and credibility to the cause of the Bangsamoro and the MILF for right to self – determination and the peace process,” Iqbal said.
“We are confident that he can perform well and his appointment is a positive development in our vision – mission for the Bangsamoro and Muslim ummanh as well as to the GPH – MILF Peace Process,” he said.
The MILF CCCH is the main body that works closely with the GPH CCCH and the Malaysia-led International Monitoring Team (IMT) in ensuring the protection of the ceasefire and in creating an enabling environment for the peace process and the peace negotiations.
Salung together with the incumbent Head of Secretariat of the MILF CCCH had undergone a two-weeks Course on the United Nations Framework on Ceasefire Monitoring and Mediation in Oslo, Norway last March 2013, a training that will be very useful for his duties and functions with the CCCH.
