MILF holds meeting with other Moro factions, calls for unity among Bangsamoro people


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”.
