On my personal capacity as Central Committee Chairman of the
Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and currently Acting President of the
United Federated States of Bangsamoro Republik (BFSBR), we wish to express
our deep gratitude to Algerian Brother Mohammed Bokreta whom we met in
Tehran, Islamic Republic of Iran, sometime in June, 1982 for kindly
calling our attention to the historical 60th Anniversary Celebration of
the glorious Algerian Revolution of November 1, 1954.
The beginning of the militant and progressive Algerian
Revolution on the First of November 1954 under the Front de Liberation
Nationale (FLN) or National Liberation Front (Algeria ) spearheaded
by Brother Ahmed Ben Bella shook the foundations of the French Fourth
Republic that led to its
collapse in 1961.
After
the FLN freedom fighters courageously engaged in strategic guerilla
warfare the colonial French occupation soldiers from 1954 up to 1962,
the heroic Algerian people gained their freedom and independence in 1962. The
sovereign Algerian
Republic proclaimed
Abdelaziz Bouteflika the first President.
In
remembering the milestone event of the foundation of FLN in November 1, 1954
that led to its victory against French colonizers in 1962, the Moro
National Liberation (MNLF) was established fourteen (14) years after on March
18, 1968. The MNLF pioneer leadership were greatly inspired by the
success of the Algerian National Liberation Front that the MNLF identified
itself with FLN. The MNLF cadre officers even formed the military
arm Bangsamoro Army (BMA) patterned after the FLN guerilla units to wage
the MNLF-launched Bansgamoro freedom struggle starting in 1968 against
Philippine colonialism.
Today, November
1, 2014, on behalf of the MNLF freedom fighters and the Bangsamoro people of
Mindanao, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, Palawan and North Borneo, the MNLF and BFSBR
leadership wish to extend their sincerest greetings and felicitations to the
valiant Algerian people on their historic commemoration of the 60th
Anniversary of the foundation of the Algerian Revolution in November 1,
1954 leading to the victorious celebration of its independence.
Indeed,
the glorious FLN-led Algerian Revolution of November 1, 1954 shall live in
the hearts and minds of the MNLF freedom fighters and Bangsamoro people.
