MNLF 'founders' dump Misuari

2014-03-15

Founding leaders of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), known as the Top 90 batch, have declared MNLF founding chairman Nur Misuari a "persona non grata" for leadership blunders, including the three-week attack in Zamboanga City in September last year.

Hadji Abul Khayr Alonto announced the new development in a public forum before thousands of residents in Lanao del Sur earlier this week. He said, "We have declared Nur Misuari a persona non grata with the MNLF. There is no other MNLF now but us.

Alonto added, "In the same manner, we invite all factions within the Misuari faction, including the MNLF Council of 15, to join us."

Alonto said the 32 surviving members of the Top 90 agreed to declare Misuari a persona non grata for his "leadership blunders that put the organization into disarray."

Presidential peace adviser Teresita Deles said, "After 17 long years of arduous negotiations, we are finally arriving at a political settlement that will seal enduring peace and progress in Mindanao. The signing of the CAB is expected to benefit not only the Bangsamoro but the entire country, and will radiate beyond our borders to the regional community, and perhaps the whole world."

Sure, why not?

The CAB will prepare the way for the creation of the Bangsamoro - a political entity that would replace the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.

#1 Put lipstick on a pig and its still a pig. The ARMM will now be replaced by the CAB, Same thing different leaders, same poor people, no economy, Muslim leaders that got rich and corrupt are now being replaced with new ones that will get rich and corrupt. I was in Nur Misuari's mansion in Zamboanga the day after the uprising in 2001. Red carpet, a hot tub in his bed room, the place was a brothel, a bit shot up, but a brothel. Paruok Hussain took over the ARMM after Nur was imprisoned. Parouk move his family to Switzerland and his kids went to private school. He would travel back and forth staying in hotels while the Bangasomoro people starved. He is now very wealthy. My wife did more to help the starving and poor people and orphans there than this ass clown. Now we have a new set of leaders who have probably never set foot on Jolo or Basilan island. But they will certainly get their 10% of all relief efforts, and yes they charge people to bring relief to the starving and poor, it an administration fee. That is if they don't require you to give it to them so they can distribute it, read sell it. What a sham.
