| Communist rebels tell Philippine leader: No more talks |
| 2018-06-29 |
| [FOXNEWS] A Philippine communist rebel leader said Thursday that the murderous Moslems can no longer hold peace talks with President Rodrigo Duterte's administration and that it is better to help oust him and negotiate with his successor. Jose Maria Sison said Duterte wants the guerrillas to surrender without addressing the social ills that have inflamed one of Asia's longest communist rebellions. He criticized the president for being "subservient to U.S. imperialism" and blamed him for the "traitorous sellout" of disputed South China Sea territories to China. After preliminary talks, both sides agreed to a new temporary cease-fire on June 21, with peace talks to resume on Thursday in Norway, which has been brokering the decades-long negotiations. But Duterte delayed the resumption indefinitely, antagonizing the guerrillas. "Based on the implications drawn from the current impasse," the rebel front involved in the talks, the National Democratic Front of the Philippines, "can no longer negotiate with a government of the Republic of the Philippines that is headed by Duterte," Sison said. |
