MILF chairman Al Haj Murad Ebrahim and MNLF chairman Nur Misuari are both invited to peace forum sponsored by the Sulu Provincial Government on December 4. The letter was sent on November 28 and was signed by Sulu Governor Abdulsakur Tan. In his letter, Governor Tan said the Provincial Government rejoiced to inform both Chairmen regarding the conduct of a regional Forum on the Framework Agreement in Sulu, which will be graced by elected and other Muslim leaders of the core territories of the Bangsamoro including MNLF Chairman Nur Misuari.
He stressed that he took the liberty to host the event as a testimony of his tremendous support for the peace process and goodwill in insuring the resounding success of the plans, programs and policies that will flow from the Framework Agreement your Front brokered for our people and our homeland. He expressed appreciation if the two leaders could make confirmation of their presence early and convey the assurances of their willingness to graciously comply with any concern in order to insure the honor of your reassuring presence at the said forum as our distinguish observer and special guest for which we shall forever be thankful to you and the Front.
However, as this developed Murad is still outside of the country and his going to Sulu for the forum is most unlikely. After his attendance in the Conference of the Foreign Ministers of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Djibouti last month, Murad was also invited to the grace the general assembly of the United Malays National Organization (UMNO) in Kuala Lumpur last November 28. However, a source in the MILF Central Committee, who requested anonymity, told Luwaran that the MILF leader is sending a five-man delegation, composed of high-level personalities in the Front’s political and military organs.
On the other hand, Nur Misuari, who attended the World Peace Forum sponsored by Muhammadiyah last November 23-25, has not yet said he is attending the Sulu peace forum. The MILF also sent a three-man delegation to that peace forum in Bogor, Indonesia.
