| MILF: Misuari will not thwart peace process |
| 2013-06-06 |
| The former chairman of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), Nur Misuari, will not succeed in his attempt to thwart the southern Philippine peace process. Chairman of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) Murad Ebrahim said, “Nur Misuari is quite critical of the framework agreement, but the overwhelming support of the Bangsamoro people and the international community to the framework agreement is a very strong signal that the majority of the people welcome this agreement." Misuari has condemned the framework agreement which he said shortchanged the people of southern Philippines and has supported claims on Sabah by the self-styled Sulu sultanate whose followers mounted an armed incursion into the state in February. Murad said the MNLF, which Misuari used to lead and from which the MILF broke away, was now split into four groups. “The other three groups have already expressed their support for the framework agreement," he added. |
