Reveller Guerrilla

When Tanah Melayu was the name for Semananjung Malaysia plus singapore , the southern philippines Mindanoa was Moroland. The Malay dominated Tanah Melayu and Bangsamoro dominated Moroland. Both are muslim ummah and prosperous in their own way. Now both have been lost. Tanah Melayu has been almost banned from being mentioned in Malaysia and Moroland is a land of refugee and desperate under the Manila regime. Thats how power come and go when the inhabitants are too weak to defend their land and value system. The history is fiercely realist in nature and it does repeat itself when the right factors culminate into an event that change the history irreversibly.Many want to hear about Moroland conflict and below is the background of the story.

Bangsamoro or Moroland is the name for the “homeland” of the Moro. The term comes from the Malay word bangsa, meaning nation or people, and the Spanish word moro, from the older Spanish word Moor, the Reconquista-period term for Arabs or Muslims.

Originally, Bangsamoro was home to the Muslim sultanates of Mindanao (such as Maguindanao and Sulu). These sultanates resisted Spanish colonial rule, and were therefore not fully integrated with the rest of the islands. Presently, there is armed conflict going on in this area. As of August 19 2008, they see no end, not even a temporary ceasefire to allow Muslims to celebrate Eid’l Fitr (The ending of Ramadan).

Bangsamoro covers the southern portion of Mindanao, the Sulu Archipelago, Palawan, Basilan and the neighboring islands and the majority of the approximately 4.5 million Muslims in the Philippines live here. Within this area, a group called The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) is active. The MILF is a Muslim separatist rebel group that was first centered around the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), which was formed after The Jabidah massacre, also known as the Corregidor massacre, which refers to an incident which occurred on the night of March 18, 1968 on the Philippine island of Corregidor. It was on this night that members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) massacred at least 28 Moro Muslim recruits under their supervision.

Nur Misuari, a University of the Philippines professor, rose to become the leader of the MNLF with the title of chairman in the early 1970s. The MNLF proclaimed itself a Filipino Muslim liberation movement and proceeded to start the Islamic Insurgency in the Philippines, in the hope of achieving independence, or at the very least regional autonomy for the Southern Philippines. This struggle would eventually claim anywhere from 80,000 to 200,000 lives; at the height of its strength, the MNLF could count 30,000 armed men in its ranks.

Seeking an end to the hostilities, the Philippine government decided to hold peace talks in 1976. That same year, the Tripoli Agreement was negotiated by the government of Ferdinand Marcos and brokered by the flamboyant Moammar Gadhafi and with the support of the Organization of the Islamic Conference. The agreement provided for a ceasefire and called for autonomy under the broad principle that Mindanao would remain an integral part of the Republic of the Philippines.

The MILF was formed in 1981 when Salamat Hashem and his followers split from the MNLF, due to the MNLF’s reluctance to launch an insurgency against the Philippine government forces and movements towards a peace agreement.

In January 1987, the MNLF accepted the government’s offer of semi-autonomy. The MILF refused to accept the offer. Thusly, the MILF became the largest separatist group in the Philippines. A general cessation of hostilities was signed in July 1997 (The Agreement for General Cessation of Hostilities dated July 18, 1997 Between the GRP and the MILF) but this agreement was broken in 2000 by the government of then President Joseph Estrada.

The MILF initially declared a jihad but became more receptive, especially following claims it is linked to the Abu Sayyaf and al Qaeda. A cease-fire accord was signed with President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, and The Agreement on the General Framework for the Resumption of Peace Talks Between the GRP and the MILF was signed on March 24, 2001; After that came The Tripoli Agreement on Peace Between the GRP and the MILF dated June 22, 2001; The Tripoli Agreement Between the GRP and the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) dated December 23, 1976 and the Final Agreement on the Implementation of the 1976 Tripoli Agreement Between the GRP and the MNLF dated September 2, 1996;

Then, on July 17, 2008, The MILF and the government finally reached a decision about Bangsamoro. The agreement, while crucial for the resumption of formal peace talks, did not guarantee the end of a near 40-year conflict that has killed 120,000 people and displaced two million in Mindanao.

“We have finally settled all the remaining issues on ancestral domain. It was a tough meeting. The real battle will be fought on the next level when we start talks on the political formula to end the conflict. But, at least we have hurdled the ancestral domain issue. We can now return to formal negotiations.”

Mohaqher Iqbal, chief MILF negotiator

Saya melihat Anwar suka cakap besar berkaitan sesuatu perkara. Anwar suka di kelilingi oleh microphone dan reporter yang besar besar tetapi kadang kadang perkara yang di cakap tak pun besar. Saya rasa Anwar suka sangat publisiti dan spot light dan bombastic words dalam press statement. Kalau melihat bahasa di gunakan dalam press statement Anwar, semuanya bombastic mr bola bola dan biasanya perkataan itu tidak selalu di guna dalam normal political press statement. Adakah Anwar juga mahu meng impress kan orang dengan perkataan yang hebat hebat. Dalam blog dan ucapan, Anwar juga mencerita dia berjumpa dengan raja itu raja ini, personaliti ini personaliti itu dengan bangga tetapi bagi mereka yang tahu personaliti tersebut , mendengar namanya telah cukup meluat. Terbaru Anwar menyebut telah bertemu dengan pengurus dana trilion dollar america. Adakah ini satu lagi mr fantastic bombastic Anwar?

ini lah kata kata Anwar dalam blog nya untuk menunjukkan beliau hebat dan berkawan dengan fund manager trillionaire seolah olah ekonomi Malaysia berada di tangan nya. Mungkin mesej nya “You get it if you abide with me , you lose it if you thrash me. ” Dalam blog posting nya ini Anwar turut menuduh Bank Negara dari segi pengurusannya. Ini berat.

“Saya telah bertemu dengan ramai pengurus dana di rantau ini, yang mewakili aset yang berjumlah USD 1 trillion dan mereka telahpun menyatakan sokongan mereka kepada perubahan menyeluruh di Malaysia termasuklah kebebasan kehakiman, media dan pihak polis serta agensi pencegah rasuah yang lebih professional, juga peraturan yang mesra pelabur dan jaminan tiadanya campur tangan ahli politik di dalam pengurusan Bank Negara. Inilah antara polisi yang dijanjikan oleh Pakatan Rakyat untuk dilaksanakan, dan insiatif inilah yang gagal diambil oleh pentadbiran sekarang terutamanya selepas 8hb Mac 2008.”

Anwar pernah menulis dalam blog nya menceritakan pertemuan nya dengan bekas president Estarada filifina. Mungkin beliau bangga dapat makan malam dengan Estarada tetapi kalau orang tahu siapa estrada sudah tentu hendak termuntah kalau di sebut nama estrad. Estarada laknatullah adalah personaliti yang menyambung pembunuhan rakyat muslim moro selepas perjanjian damai OIC semasa Marcos dan Estrada juga adalah individu yang menyokong perang besar besaran dan terbuka keatas rakyat islam moro dalam konflik sekarang di filifina. Oleh itu bila nak bermegah dengan kawan yang hebat , pasti lah mereka benar benar hebat , kalau tidak orang akan melabel kita dengan ,’ sebegitu kawan , sebegitulah perangainya”
