MNLF HAS LISTED BIG DELEGATION TO ATTEND 4OTH OIC COUNCIL OF FOREIGN MINISTERS (CFM) MEETING IN
In response to the invitation of the Government of
Republic of Guinea through the General Secretariat of the Organization of
Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to Chairman Prof. Nur Misuari of the Moro National
Liberation Front (MNLF) to attend the 40th Session of the Council of Foreign
Ministers of the OIC scheduled in Conakry, Republic of Guinea, from 6-8
Safar 1435H (December 9-11, 2013), the MNLF has listed a full battery charged
delegation composed of thirty three members.
The big number MNLF delegation headed by Chairman
Misuari is tasked to attend both the 40th Session of the OIC Council of
Foreign Minsiters and the anticipated sidelined technical meeting of the
Ministerial Tri-Partite Review of the September 2, 1996 MNLF-OIC-GRP Jakarta
Peace Agreements,
It is recalled that the Philippine Aquino government
showed no respect to the 1996 peace agreement forged under the Ramos
government. It decided to terminate the peace process with the MNLF that
decided immediately to revert back to pursue its original objective of
struggling for freedom and independence for the Bangsamoro homeland of
Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan (MINSUPALA), including North
Borneo . While actively conducting a successful series of
peaceful campaigns for complete independence and national self-determination
for the Bangsamoro people in Jolo, Basilan, General Santos and Davao
since August up to September, 2013, the scheduled MNLF peace rally in Zamboanga City was blocked by the local government.
The
total suppression of the MNLF members to conduct their fundamental human rights
to peaceful assembly by the Climaco government, and worse, the harassment,
arrest and imprisonment of some MNLF members triggered the 19-day September war
between the mostly Visayan soldiers of the colonial Armed Forces of the
Philippines (AFP) and the MNLF freedom fighters led by Ustaj Khabier
Malik. Similar to the 1974 AFP-MNLF war and burning of entire town
of Jolo, the AFP soldiers burned around 10,160 houses and mosques during
the AFP-MNLF war in Zamboanga City that resulted in a catasthropic humanitarian
disaster.The United Nations (UN), OIC, European Union (EU) and concerned
humanitarian and peace advocate NGOs had to pressure both the Aquino government
and MNLF to end the bloody war,
resulting to a big number of human and material losses.
After the AFP-MNLF war in Zamboanga
City , the OIC General Secretariat appealed to both the Philippine
government and the Moro National Liberation Front to continue the peace process
by re-scheduling the holding of the Tri-partite Review meeting from November 4,
2013 to be conducted simultaneously with the 40th OIC CFM conference in Conakry , December 9-11, this year.
Thus, the Conakry 40th OIC
ICFM conference and the outcome of the sidelined meeting of the
MNLF-OIC-GRP Ministerial Tri-Partite Committee is crucial to the freedom
struggle of the Bangsamoro people launched actively again by the MNLF.
