He impressed upon the multitude of MNLF members, the Mujahidin and Mujahidat, and the youth and professionals to carry on the historic struggle by any peaceful and possible means to honor the Moro forebears and modern-day martyrs, who sacrificed everything in life for the sake of survival and national self-determination.

MNLF-OIC-GRP
TRIPARTITE MINISTERIAL COMMITTEE MEETING IN JEDDAH, KSA, JANUARY 25-26, 2016
On
the historic occasion of the MNLF Leadership Grand Summit gathering, the MNLF
Chairman also briefed the general assembly of MNLF officers, members and
different sectoral representatives of the Bangsamoro people regarding the
holding of the Tripartite Ministerial Committee, composed of the Moro National
Liberation Front (MNLF), Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and
Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP), in Jeddah, Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia, from January 25-26, 2016. MNLF Chairman Nur Misuari was invited
by the OIC General Secretariat to attend the 2-day Tripartite Ministerial
Committee meeting. The invitation extended to him was signed by Ambassador
Abdullah A. Alim, OIC Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs.
Upon
the recommendation of the OIC fact-finding mission to Mindanao
in 2001, the MNLF-OIC-GRP Tri-Partite Ministerial Committee was established
during the presidency of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. It was tasked to review the
correct implementation of the September 2, 1996 MNLF-OIC-GRP Jakarta Peace
Agreements. However, the Arroyo government kept on delaying the delicate tasks
of the tri-partite committee and never succeeded in correctly implementing the
1996 peace agreement. On the contrary, the Arroyo administration proceeded to
unilaterally implement the 5-province Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao
(ARMM), thus, only upgrading the 4-province ARMM created arbitrarily by the
government of President Corazon C. Aquino.
The
ARMM turned out to be only the “cheating capital” of Philippine elections
according to the Philippine media. It also registered only a “failed
experiment” to the present Aquino government that decided to conduct peace
talks with Alhaj Murad Ebrahim-led Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in
forging the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL).
It
is now noted that the BBL, which has been transformed by both Houses of
Philippine Congress into ‘Basic Law of Bangsamoro Autonomous Region (BLBAR)’,
is unsure to be passed into law. Nonetheless, the Philippine Congress
substitute bills – HB5811 and SB2894 – have been criticized by some quarters as
only envisioning a future Bangsamoro into a local government unit. It is simply
seen that the Philippine Congress unilateral version of BBL is just “inferior”
compared to farcical ARMM.
On the positive success of the 1996 Jakarta Peace Agreements or ‘Final Peace
Agreement (FPA) to finally solve the decades-long Filipino-Moro war in
Mindanao, Chairman Nur Misuari took the opportunity during the 3-day MNLF
Leadership Grand Summit assembly to appeal to the United Nations (UN),
Non-Aligned Movement nations, European Union (EU), Non-Government Organizations
(NGOs), individual peace advocates and organizations, revolutionary forces and
all peace-loving humanity to extend wholehearted support to the MNLF-OIC-GRP
Tri-Partite Review Committee meetings to expeditiously achieve durable and
lasting peace in war-torn Mindanao.
The
presence of the MNLF-Bangsamoro People’s National Parliament Chairman Alim
Bashir Sidri, Secretary General Ustaj Murshi Ibrahim, Foreign Affairs Secretary
General Ustaj Abdulbaki Abubakar, MNLF Islamic Court Chief Justice Ustaj Abu
Harris Usman, Lupah Sug State Revolutionary Committee Chairman Alhaj Khaid
Adjibun, respective chairmen of the different state revolutionary committees,
MNLF-Bangsamoro Armed Forces (BAF) national and regional officers, and the
different heads of the Bangsamoro sectoral groupings contributed tremendously
to make the MNLF Leadership Grand Summit a successful historical affair.
