Moro consensus group launched


A group of young Moro professionals, civil society organizations leaders, academicians, and students launched a consensus group to compliment the top-level negotiations between the government and the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).

The launching of the Moro Consensus Group (MCG) highlighted the Forum on Federalism and Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) held at the Institute for Peace and Development in Mindanao (IPDM) in Mindanao State University main campus on February 22.

The group aims to hold series of fora and discussions to ensure broader and active participation in peace building.

MCG Chairman Drieza Lininding noted that while the government is engaging with MILF and MNLF, majority of Bangsamoro have no affiliations in both groups. He said it is important for the majority to be informed, talk among themselves and agree on a consensus that they can rally behind.


ARMM Governor Mujiv Hataman, who attended the launching, said Moro youth holds potential role in the development of the region. He stressed that the government should recognize the Bangsamoro history, including their rights, even if the country will adopt or change its political system.

Participants to the forum were also lectured on the economic aspects of federalism and its implications to the Bangsamoro quest for self-determination.

The forum centered on the theme "Union in Diversity: The Way to Justice, the Key to Peace." (PIA Lanao del Sur)
