Moro Islamists Freedom Movement MILF Declares Suspension Of Military Activities
26 July 2009
The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) has finally issued an official declaration for the suspension of military activities (SOMA) effective yesterday, July 25, in response to earlier similar declaration issued by the Arroyo administration. The declaration, General Order No. 003/09/A, was signed by Al Haj Murad Ebrahim, chairman of the MILF and commander in chief of the Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces (BIAF). The declaration was issued after an intense debate by members of the MILF Central Committee regarding the provision of the GRP’s SOMO to the effect that the PNP, with the support role of AFP, will continue the manhunt operations against the so-called MILF “rogue commanders” namely Ameril Umbra Kato, Abdullah “Bravo” Macapaar, and Alim Solaiman Pangalian. One senior member of the MILF, who requested anonymity, described the government SOMO as no declaration of truce at all, saying that the governments since August last year said that they are only running after these so-called rogue commanders and not the entire MILF. He described the GRP’s SOMO as another instance of paikot (fooling around) tactic of one government official. “It is taking back something what the right hand gives,” he stressed. He did not name the official but it is an open secret that the MILF always branded Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita, who made the official announcement of the SOMO, as an expert on paikot.. The MILF declaration came late in the afternoon yesterday and took effect immediately.
