Posted to the MNLF Website (Nov 21): In the Midst of the MNLF Renewed Freedm Struggle: OIC asks MNLF and PGH to Continue Peace Process



CONTINUING FREEDOM STRUGGLE AND PEACE PROCESS

After the 19-day war in Zamboanga City last September, 2013 between the Armed Forces of the Philippines (soldiers) and the freedom fighters of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) led by Ustaj Khabir Malik, the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) has issued notice to continue the peace process to find a comprehensive solution to the Filipino-Moro war in Mindanao.

The Bangsamoro Grand Mufti, Al-Ustaj Abdulbaki Abubakar, who is the Secretary-General of the MNLF Foreign Affairs Committee, has provided mnlfnet.com  with the OIC communication to this effect. Full report is the following:

"OUTCOME OF THE OIC-PCSP MEETING ON 4 NOVEMBER 2013, THE OIC HEADQUARTERS, JEDDAH

(1) Due to time constrain, the planned 5th Tripartite Meeting between the Government of the Philippines (GPH), Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) will be held after 40th Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) in Guinea.

(2) OIC General Secretariat will communicate with Mr. Nur Misuari, Chairman of MNLF, to appoint a delegation to represent the MNLF at the 40th CFM and 5th Tripartite Meeting. Appeals to the Government of the Philippines to take into account the historic and important role of MNLF Chairman Mr. Nur Misuari in the peace process.

(c) Invite Member States, subsidiary organs and specialized and affiliated institutions as well as Islamic charitable organizations to increase their humanitarian assistance with a particular attention to humanitarian attention in the City of Zamboanga after the incident in September 2013."

HISTORIC, IMPORTANT AND POSITIVE ROLE OF CHAIRMAN MISUARI

On this OIC notice, MNLF Chairman Prof. Nur Misuari has expressed positiveness to attend the 2013 40th Conference of Foreign Ministers in Guinea as being the sole spokesman and representative of the Bangsamoro people of Filipino-colonized Mindanao through MNLF representation.

The MNLF Chairman has expressed confidence on the OIC General Secretariat to listen to the aggrieved side of the oppressed Bangsamoro people against the Aquino government that showed no respect towards the implementation of the Septemver 2, 1996 MNLF-OIC-GRP Jakarta Peace Agreements.

It is seen that the negative attitude of the Aquino government to ignore the correct and complete implementation of the 1996 peace Agreement led to the 19-day September AFP-MNLF war in Zamboanga City. The bloody war resulted in the burning of 10,160 houses and mosques by the AFP soldiers, big number of casualties and devastating humanitarian disaster situation. Until now more than 100,000 refugees mostly Muslims are still desperately suffering homeless in the city public grandstand. Worse, children have become sick and 25 already died. The death toll may just continue because the Aquino government have no definite program for their welfare and suffering.     

MNLF IS RECOGNIZED BY THE
OIC AS THE SOLE LEGITIMATE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
BANGSAMORO PEOPLE.

SUPPORT THE BANGSAMORO
STRUGGLE FOR SELF-DETERMINATION
AND INDEPENDENCE!
