The MILF commanders hit government for blatant ceasefire violation as Philippine Army troops started uncoordinated massive movements at early morning in areas close to MILF forces in the towns of Datu Unsay and Datu Saudi, Maguindanao.
The MILF commanders reported that hundreds of Philippine Army troops clad in full battle gear backed with several tanks moved into Barangays Kitango, Tatapan, Kitapok, Maitem a Ig, and Pagatin.
However, the government and MILF Coordinating Committee on the Cessation of Hostilities (CCCH) and the Ad Hoc Joint Action Group (AHJAG) were not aware or coordinated of these provocative uncoordinated massive deployment and movement of Philippine Army troops.
“This nature of uncoordinated movement can trigger untoward incident and worst fierce encounter between the government and MILF forces,” Rasid Ladiasan, Head of the MILF CCCH Secretariat, told Luwaran.Com when asked for comment.
“We do not want any tension or confrontational situation to grip in between MILF and government forces otherwise we are being remiss with our responsibility,” he said.
“Clearly any movement which are not normal administrative functions like the case that transpired early morning today in that areas constitute ceasefire violations when the CCCHs were not coordinated. The government forces know this very well but unfortunately they acted in contravention,” Ladiasan said.
He appealed to the government counterpart to enhance coordination especially at this time when the government and MILF are confronting major challenges on the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) following the review and changes made by the government review team on the BBL as drafted by the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC).
“The MILF CCCH is going to file a strong protest on this incident as the proper way to address this situation,” he said.
