The vice chairman for Political Affairs of the MILF said yesterday, "As of 4 p.m. Sunday up to the time we are now talking to each other, we have an A-1 information that he is alive, though still weak from his illness. He can now speak a little, taking small amount of food.
"Ustadhz Ameril Umra Kato is a Muslim, our brother, a human being like us. So we wish him to recover from his illness like we wish anyone else in the same situation."
Jaafar denied that Kato, who split from the MILF after rejecting the peace process, has left the country. He did not reveal where the founder of the BIFM and Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF-BIFM) is recovering.
Meanwhile, BIFM spokesman Abu Misry Mama, confirmed that Kato "is very much alive and recuperating." Mama appealed to those spreading rumors about Kato's supposed death to stop, saying if and when he pines for the fjords dies they will let the public know. |
