From Tempo (Feb 1): MNLF, MILF hold unity talk
Apparently in compliance with the call of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) will resume their unity talks on Feb 2 in Davao City.
Maulana Robert “Bobby” Alonto, a member of the MILF peace panel in the negotiations with the Government of the Philippines (GPH), confirmed this yesterday.
He hastened to add that the unity meeting is not aimed at the MILF and MNLF’s structural union.
“We are not going to unite our groups structurally or organizationally; the meeting is to arrive at a consensus in joining our efforts for peace and economic uplift of the Bangsamoro people,” said Alonto, after his plane landed Friday in Cagayan de Oro City.
He said the MILF was hoping the meeting with MNLF will push through as tropical storm Basyang was about to hit parts of the Visayas and Mindanao.
