Posted to the MILF Website (Jul 24): UN reiterates support to GPH-MILF peace negotiation
In an official press statement released to the media, the United Nations “has reiterated its commitment to support all parties involved in bringing peace to Mindanao, being an active supporter, inter alia, the ongoing peace negotiations between the Government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.”
In an official press statement released to the media, the United Nations “has reiterated its commitment to support all parties involved in bringing peace to Mindanao, being an active supporter, inter alia, the ongoing peace negotiations between the Government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.”
In a single undated press release but a copy of which was obtained by Luwaran yesterday, Mr. Arjun Jain, UN Area Coordinator ad interim in Mindanao, disclosed that a certain Mr. Xavier Daniel “is falsely claiming to represent the United Nations in the Philippines, and in particular in Mindanao.”
“He has, in this false capacity,” the statement added, “engaged with various persons and agencies in Mindanao.
Further, the statement stated that the United Nations wishes to categorically state that it has no relationship with any person by this name, and that no such person has in the past, or currently is authorized to represent the United Nations or any official of the United Nations in relation to any matter concerning the Philippines.
As this developed, a short message system (SMS) or texts are circulating that the MNLF has elevated the Bangsamoro case to the United Nations and that the United States is actively supporting such move.
The source of the texts cannot be determined but analysts pointed to supporters of MNLF Chairman Nur Misuari as behind this text campaign.
Most of the texts were forwarded from MILF contact persons in the island province of Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, and Basilan.
