ZAMBOANGA CITY –
A MEMBER of the International Monitoring Team (IMT), which is overseeing the ceasefire accord between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), has asked the leadership of the Moro rebels to castigate its commander who led the burning of houses and wounding of civilians in Central Mindanao.
“As we condemn this violation of the human rights of the civilian communities by the ground forces of the MILF, we also call on the rebel group not just to suspend its erring troops or subject them to an internal military discipline procedure known only to them. The victims must be given justice, civilians must be protected at all times,” said the Mindanao People’s Caucus (MPC), who is operating the Bantay Ceasefire initiative.
