MNLF vows Kosovo-style campaign in Philippines
The Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) has warned it will carry out a Kosovo style struggle to decolonize southern Mindanao and some parts of Malaysia, including Sabah and Sarawak. MNLF founding leader Nur Misuari called on his followers to renounce armed struggle and adopt the Kosovo model by carrying out peaceful assemblies in attaining their political objective for self rule, spokesman Emmanuel Fontanilla said yesterday.Fontanilla was referring to the 2008 Kosovo declaration of independence where participants declared Kosovo independent from Serbia. Although the legality of the declaration was disputed by Serbia, several countries recognized it. Fontanilla said Serbia wanted international validation and support for its stance that the declaration was illegal, but the International Court of Justice said the declaration did not violate international law. He said, Armed struggle is already obsolete as proven in other countries. We will bring our cause to the people." Posted by: ryuge 2014-02-03 |
