(Editor’s note- Below is the full text of GPH-MILF Peace Panels’ statement on the attack on civilians in Sulu during the feast of Eidl Fitr, July 28, 2014)
The Negotiating Panels of the Government of the Philippines (GPH) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) condemn in the strongest possible terms the recent spate of violence against innocent civilians in Talipao, Sulu.
The July 28 attack, which reportedly killed 25 people including a three-month old infant and an 85-year old elderly woman, is a direct violation of the sanctity of life that is a basic precept of Islam. Even more tragic, it was done on Eid’l Fitr, the supposedly joyful and festive day marking the breaking of month-long Ramadhan fasting.
The GPH and MILF Panels grieve with the families of victims of the massacre. We continue to work in an endeavor to halt indiscriminate violence and we are one with the people of Sulu in this shared responsibility to build peace in our communities.
