MNLF calls for tolerance amid recent clash

From ABS-CBN (Jan 29): MNLF calls for tolerance amid recent clash

Moro National Liberation Front Chairman Muslimin Sema shared his views on the recent clash between members of the Philippine National Police - Special Action Force (PNP-SAF) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front in Barangay Tukanalipao in Mamasapano, Maguindanao.

According to Sema, the clash should not have happened had there been proper coordination before the operation.

"Sa aking simpleng pananaw, this all boils down to lack of proper coordination, proper planning even maybe full intelligence dahil kung nagkaroon ng proper coordination, maaaring 'di ganon. Magkaroon nga ng engkwentro pero damage could have been lesser," Sema said.

Sema also believes that both the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) should adhere to the provisions of the agreement to prevent a similar incident in the future.

Sema, a former revolutionary leader, said he supports the President's position to continue the negotiations with the MILF despite recent developments.

He also called on government officials, the MILF and other stakeholders to be calm and to support the peace process.

Both sides should also have to exercise maximum tolerance, understanding and sincerity to solve the problem.
