AJLLP CALLS FOR A JUST AND LASTING PEACE IN MINDANAO
Los Angeles-- The Alliance for A Just and Lasting Peace in the Philippines (AJLPP) –USA reiterates its call for a stop on the ongoing war in Mindanao.
The AJLPP through its National Coordinator Mario Santos today vehemently condemns the lack of sincerity on the part of the US-Arroyo regime in pursuing the peace negotiations with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the National Democratic Front (NDF).
The peace talks with the NDFP has been stalled for the last five years. The US-Arroyo regime cancelled the forthcoming talks with the MILF in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia this September indefinitely.
The AJLPP also condemned the brazen puppetry of the US-Arroyo regime by letting the active participation of US Special Forces operatives in the AFP operations in Mindanao. The Agence France Press(AFP) took footages and pictures of US Special forces leading the Philippine military in their operations in the island of Sulu.
AJLPP Santos said: “ The Arroyo’s hard line stance bring backs the days of US military leading Philippine Constabulary scouts against the Muslims in Sulu during the Pacification campaign led by US generals John Pershing and Leonard Wood when the US forces colonial forces occupied the Philippines during the last century.
Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is trying to act like Marcos and Estrada and ingratiate herself to the Americans by being active in the US-sponsored and led “War on Terror”.
By focusing in Mindanao, the fascist puppet is paving the way of opening up Mindanao’s rich mineral and forest resources to the US imperialist corporations while trying to quell the people’s resistance against foreign intervention.
The AJLLP always support the cause of just and lasting peace in the Philippines and the Bangsa Moro people’s aspiration for genuine regional autonomy under a sovereign nation and respects it rights for self-determination and right of secession under a fascist dispensation.
The AJLPP will always support the MILF’s desire for peace based on justice and genuine self determination for the Bangsa Moro people.
