MNLF supports GRP-MILF peace talks

"We are not against the reported draft of peace agreement. We are even supporting it so that the problem in Mindanao will finally have an end."

Thus, the inquirer.net quoted Hatimil Hassan, Moro National Liberational Front (MNLF) interim vice chair, today, referring to the ongoing peace negotiations between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).

Earlier, MNLF chair Nur Misuari warned the Philippine government against signing a peace agreement with the MILF, citing claims by an American diplomat that a peace pact with the MILF “will be illegal.”

Both the GRP and the MILF are optimistic that they can come up soon with a comprehensive peace pact. (Taher G. Solaiman)
