ZAMBOANGA CITY: “We are firm
with our demands for self-determination. We cannot compromise our
independence and our freedom,” Eid Kabalu, a spokesman for the
Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), told The Manila Times
Saturday.
The Muslim rebels’ vow to fight
for independence came up in an interview about the withdrawal of
Malaysia from the International Monitoring Team (IMT) which has been
watching over the ceasefire between Philippine military and the MILF
since peace negotiations began in 2004.
