Prof. Dr. Nur Misuari, Chairman of the Central Committee, Founding Leader of the MNLF and Commander-in-Chief of the Bangsamoro Armed Forces called for the unity of all Bangsamoro freedom fighters in pursuit of the complete independence and national self-determination of the Bangsamoro People from Philippine
BMNews: Chairman Prof. Nur Misuari of the Central Committee of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) has called for the unity of all Bangsamoro freedom fighters in pursuit of the complete independence and national self-determination of the Muslim and Animist Lumad natives as well as conscious Christians of Mindanao from Philippine colonialism.
In
a big gathering of MNLF political, military and religious leaders as well
asgaosbaogbog (solid and steadfast) mass supporters in the MNLF
Jabal Nur camp in Mindanao on the occasion of the Eid'l Fitr celebration,
he called on the freedom fighters of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF)
to join hands with the unified MNLF and the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Movement
(BIFM) under Ustaj Umbra Amiril Katu to regain the total freedom and
independence of the Moro Nation (Bangsamoro) from the Filipino colonialist
land-grabbers of Luzon.
In a recently held meeting in Jeddah from 11-12 June, 2014
between the General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation
(OIC) and the MNLF leadership, a pledge of unity and solidarity with the
current MNLF freedom struggle under Chairman Nur Misuari became the consensus
of the Jeddah Formula forged by the MNLF leaders in attendance. The mainstream
MNLF was represented by Foreign Affairs Secretary General Ustaj Abdulbaki
Abubakar, Acting Foreign Minister Dr. Mashur al-Jundam, former Secretary
General Datu Shakiruddin Bahjin, Bangsamoro Armed Forces (BAF) Vice
Chief-of-Staff Abdul Jabar Narra, Documentary Executive Director Yahoodz Simpal
and Legal Adviser Atty. Randolph Parcasio.
The
other MNLF leaders included the splintered groups -MNLF Executive Council of 15
(EC 15) under former Cotabato City Vice-Mayor Datu Muslimen Sema and MNLF
Islamic Council Command (ICC) under Mudjahab Hashim. The rest of the MNLF EC 15
members included Hatimil Hassan and Jimmy Labawan.
All
the MNLF attendants to the OIC-MNLF meeting were signatories to the Jeddah Formula. They
committed themselves to maintain the unity and to have a unified solid
position towards efforts to arrive at a political, just and lasting peaceful
solution to the long standing problem of the oppressed Bangsamoro people of
Filipino-colonized Mindanao .
In
agreement to the solid unification of the MNLF under the leadership of the
Central Committee Chairman Prof. Nur Misuari, they all agreed to recognize
and support the just call of the MNLF chairman in reverting back
to the original demand of complete independence and national self-determination
of the Bangsamoro people from the Philippine colonial government. They
have clearly noted that the Philippine goverment had betrayed thrice
Mindanao peace and deceived the Muslim and Highlander natives as well as
conscious Christians of Mindanao by reneging on its commitment in
implementing the 1976 Tripoli Peace Agreement, 1987 Jeddah Peace Accord and the
1996 Jakarta Peace Agreements.
Apparently, the present Philippine Aquino government ignored to
recognize the 1996 MNLF-OIC-GRP Jakarta Peace Agreements that ignited the
September 9-21, 2013 bloody battle between the colonial Philippine
military occupation soldiers and the MNLF freedom fighters in Zamboanga City.
The AFP-MNLF war resulted in multiple killings of both combatants and
civilians, burning of around 10,160 houses and mosques by AFP soldiers,
and causing unprecedented humanitarian disaster condition of civilian
refugees that until now is not properly given solution by the colonial
government.
The
united MNLF leaders also called on the OIC leadership to seek the indulgence
and attention of the Philippine government to withdraw the warrant of
arrest against Chairman Misuari to allow him to attend the official meetings
and other functions abroad of the global pan-Islamic body leading to
achieving just and permanent peace in war-torn Mindanao .
Furthermore,
the Jeddah Formula also stressed that the leading MNLF signatories shall
"maintain oneness of the MNLF under the leadership of Chairman Prof.
Nur Misuari," and pledged to assert that the ground leaders
would work towards a unified leadership.
SUPPORT
THE BANGSAMORO STRUGGLE FOR NATIONAL SELF-DETERMINATION & INDEPENDENCE!
