Camp Darapanan: The highest leader of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), Al Haj Murad Ebrahim, profoundly thanked the Government of Indonesia and its people for its continuing significant role with the International Monitoring Team (IMT).
Chairman Murad expressed this during the Courtesy Call of the new Indonesian contingent with IMT to the MILF Central Committee here at his Administrative Headquarters in Camp Darapanan, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao.
“In behalf of the MILF and your brothers and sisters Bangsamoro, we convey to the Government of Indonesia and our beloved Indonesian brothers and sisters our deepest gratitude for the unfaltering commitment and support for the aspirations of the Bangsamoro for lasting peace, justice and self-governance in the ongoing peace process with the Government of the Philippines,” Murad stressed.
For more than four decades of the Bangsamoro struggle, Indonesia has been a staunch supporter to achieve the aspiration of all the people for peace, equality, justice and freedom from oppression and tyranny.
The sending of the third batch of Indonesian IMT contingent, the MILF leadership cited as manifestation of the robust commitment to help in ensuring the success of the GPH – MILF Peace Process, which was capped by the signing of the historic and highly-celebrated GPH – MILF Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) last March 27, 2014 in Malacanang Palace.
This third batch, 9-man Indonesian contingent, is headed by His Excellency Colonel Pribadi Jatmiko of the Indonesian Army for a year-long tour of duty. Late last month, the second batch of IMT Indonesians headed by His Excellency Col Erwin made an Exit Call to the MILF leadership through the Office of the Chief of Staff, Sammy al Mansoor, of the Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces (BIAF).
IMT is mandated to monitor on the ground the implementation of the ceasefire, socio-economic, rehabilitation, development, humanitarian and civilian protection agreements of the government and MILF.
The MILF leadership stressed the IMT as core pillar of the ceasefire accord of the GPH – MILF Peace Process, adding “the IMT must stay and its mandate strengthened in the progression of the peace process.”
The 36-man IMT Batch 9 is headed by His Excellency MGen Dato’ Abdul Samad bin Yaakub of Malaysia and is also composed of contingents from the Governments of Brunei, Japan and Norway.
Indonesia chairs the Peace Committee established by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to find a solution to the problem in southern region between the government of the Philippines and the Bangsamoro.
In the recent meeting of the OIC in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the leadership of the MILF and the MNLF met, wherein the MNLF delegation acknowledged the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) as a solution to the aspirations of the Bangsamoro for peace, justice, and genuine self-governance.
The MILF leadership cited the CAB as the reaffirmation of all the gains of the Peace Processes and Agreements between the GPH and the MILF and MNLF, even as they assured the incorporation of the provisions of the 1976 Tripoli Agreement and the Jakarta Accord that resulted to the GPH – MNLF Final Peace Agreement of 1996 in the GPH – MILF CAB and in the Bangsamoro Transition Commission Proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) that was submitted to Malacanang Palace in April this year.
However, the MILF Central Committee expressed some concerns prompted by the changes and revisions on the BTC proposed BBL submitted by the government on the basis of the review of the government legal team.
Both the government and MILF Peace Negotiating Panels are now in Kuala Lumpur for talks being facilitated by the Malaysian Third Party Facilitator to discuss the issues and concerns surrounding the BBL.
