ABS-CBN
News Central Mindanao said in its report on December 12 that, “Leaders of the
Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front
(MILF) held a unification and reconciliation meeting on Saturday, at Sultan
Kudarat, Maguindanao”.
Those who
attended the meeting were MILF 1st Vice Chairman Ghazali Jaafar, who led the
meeting, Abulkaihr Alonto, leader of a separate MNLF faction and former
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Assemblyman Romeo Sema who
represented Muslimin Sema. Muslimen Sema is leader of the MNLF Council of 15
who signed a unified declaration with the MILF last October.
Before that
historic event at Camp
Darapanan , Alonto had
previously expressed support for the passage of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL).
Alonto said
that despite Misuari’s absence, the MNLF founder had expressed his interest to
join the unification and reconciliation.
All three
leaders expressed their optimism and hope that the BBL will still be passed
under President Aquino's term.
They said
that they will also continue pushing for the BBL even in the next
administration, if it fails to be passed under the Aquino administration. They,
likewise, are pushing for unity among the Bangsamoro people.
Jaafar said
that at present, the Moro people are divided as some are supporting different
leaders who have different positions on the BBL.
Alonto
insisted that there is only one MNLF organization. Through Romeo Sema, Alonto
conveyed his message to Muslimen Sema and asked him to visit Misuari.
Alonto added
they will settle the organization's internal problems and assured the public
they can resolve it.
The MILF
and other MNLF leaders will continue convincing Misuari to join them in their
call for unity and reconciliation. (Source: ABS-CBN New central Mindanao )
ABS-CBN
quoted Jafaar saying that, “When Moro leaders are on the same track towards the
goal of achieving the Bangsamoro government, the Philippine government will
most likely listen to them”.
