The Golden Crescent Consortium of Peace Builders and Affiliates (GCCPBA), a convening group of Muslim Professionals from the Academe, civil society organizations, media, local government, business and youth convened its Special Assembly last October 26, 2013 at the College of Home Economics, Western Mindanao State University, a Zamboanga local daily reported on October 29.
The GCCPBA facilitated a discussion and reflection on the Zamboanga siege. Resource Speaker Fr. Albert “Paring Bert” Alejo, SJ, member of the Crisis Management Committee shared his analysis on the internal security concern that all Zamboangueños faced.
Prof. Ali T. Yacub, AL-Haj, President of the Consortium facilitated the discussion on the Analysis of the Crisis. Members shared personal experiences and reflection on the twenty-three day siege.
Habib Kiram Kamaludin seeks clarification of “why result to military solution and not on negotiation?” The Crisis may be assessed in various aspects- economically, politically, socially, culturally. The members seek an understanding on what transpired during the stages of the conflict.
Paring Bert shared his reflection on a need for not just a shallow understanding on the crisis but challenges everyone for a deeper analysis on the stages of the siege. The concern of involving everyone to be in consultations, dialogues and post war assessments had been a priority of the CMC. It is now on our part to synergize our efforts to help not just the victims but rebuild the city.
The next intervention of the organization is to facilitate a deeper analysis from among the Muslims leaders on the said crisis. The group seeks to involve religious leaders in line with the forthcoming Mindanao Week of Peace Celebration.
Prof. Ali T. Yacub, Al-Haj challenges University professors to be cautious in framing up with Reflection Papers to students about Muslim War. Since the group serves as a research group, he clarified that there exist no “Muslim War”. The siege is not religious in nature; it is political and socio-cultural.
The consortium’s resolution is to generate more and deeper analysis and recommends to the Crisis Management Committee to tap other experts from various sectors to be involved in the analysis especially from the Academe, Business, Youth, Civil Society Organizations. Trauma Healing and Psychological and Trauma Healing processes are next interventions of the group.
“As we seek for peace and solidarity, let prayers be part of every processes of healing the wounds of division, “ Prof. Yacub further said.
