Ex-MILF leader advices comrade in the BIFF to reform for good

From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 24): Ex-MILF leader advices comrade in the BIFF to reform for good

A former Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) guerrilla leader has appealed to his former comrade leader to reform and live normal life like he did.

Noah Sabel, former head of MILF’ 10th base command, said he and Gani Saligan were in the same armed group in the MILF fighting for self-determination and equality when he decided to shift and joined the local government.

Sabel is now the village chairperson of Barangay Dugong, an outlying village of Mlang, North Cotabato and he has an unsolicited advice to his former comrade.

Saligan heads a team of Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) after they broke from mainstream MILF in 2008.

Sabel said he parted ways with Saligan because he was involved in illegal activities.

“Brother Gani was engaged in criminal activities like cattle rustling, robbery and land grabbing,” Sabel said.

In fact in 2011, Sabel groups clashed with Saligan’s group in the marshland of Mlang.

“My advice to brother Gani is to reform, be sorry for his sins while he still can and devote the remain years of his life into doing good for his people,” Sabel told DXND Radyo Bida Kidapawain in the vernacular.
