Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) leader Habib Mujahab Hashim revealed that MNLF founder Nur Misuari is still hiding and has not left the country. The Department of Justice has filed rebellion charges against Misuari and other MNLF members on Oct. 7, over the Zamboanga siege which left 200 people dead (File photo).

Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) founding Chairman Nur P. Misuari is still in Mindanao, hiding from the long arm of the law, senior MNLF leader Habib Mujahab Hashim revealed yesterday to dispel reports he had already fled the country.

“I learned that Brother Nur is still in the country, taking safety precautions by hiding because government security forces are after him,” Hashim, who heads the MNLF-Islamic Command Council (MNLF-ICC) faction, said after speaking with Misuari’s close allies.

Hashim said the MNLF is also helping prepare the embattled Moro leader’s defense in the rebellion charges filed by the government against him.

He said Misuari is well, just got “a little sick, but otherwise is strong and moving about.”

Misuari is very much alive, said Hashim.

Most likely, Hashim said that Misuari will not be able to participate personally in the 40th Session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC-CFM) on Dec. 9-11 in Conakry, Guinea, Western Africa.

“Brother Nur is sending his eldest son, Abdulkarim, together with some MNLF leaders, to represent him and read his speech at the plenary of the OIC conference,” he said.
