Philippines coordinating with MILF to end Abu Sayyaf
2014-10-25
The Philippine government is counting on the support of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), in neutralizing the terrorist Abu Sayyaf group, a top government official said Thursday.
An interesting development. Is it likely to work?
Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said that the government has been coordinating with the MILF in suppressing the group. He said, "They are our partner in achieving peace and order in Bangsamoro."

A Bangsamoro government is expected to be established to replace the current Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao as part of an agreement signed by the Philippine government and the MILF in March this year.

Coloma said the Philippine government expected the MILF to not only condemn the activities of the Abu Sayyaf, but also to support the government forces' operation against the rebels in areas covered by the envisioned Bangsamoro entity.
