MNLF founding chairman Nurjulani “Nur” Misuari is in Guinea, said his spokesman lawyer Emmanuel Fontanilla of the Misuari-led faction of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) Tuesday.
Fontanilla’s claim is different from Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala’s.
Citing military report as of December 2013, Zagala, head of the military public affairs office, said Misuari was “still in Sulu."
“Nasa OIC (Organization of Islamic Conference) na po ‘yung ating mahal na propesor. Doon na po siya sa Guinea at nakikipag-usap na po (Our beloved professor is in OIC. He is in Guinea talking),” Fontanilla countered.
Regardless of where he is, Misuari is on the run after a Zamboanga City court issued warrant for his arrest on a charge of rebellion and a separate warrant for crimes against humanity for allegedly violating the International Humanitarian Law (IHL).
Habier Malik, Misuari’s trusted lieutenant, led more or less 500 MNLF fighters in a three-week siege in Zamboanga City that resulted in the killing of about 200 people and the wounding of more than 200 as the government forces quelled the MNLF’s “war for independence.”
The deadly siege affected almost 118,000 residents from several barangays and left more than 100,000 residents homeless as their houses were razed from intense fighting.
Billions of pesos worth of infrastructure and livelihood were destroyed in that war.
