MNLF urged anew to join Bangsamoro

I won’t waste my time or yours to go any deeper into the swamp of hudna making. Once again, we see the multiple factions  of Islamic headbangers  disagreed on how much jiziya to take. Any kind of peace deal  with non-Muslims is  seen as no more than an interval to the jihad. It is no more than gaining time to regroup and to attack again when the time is opportune to do so.
The only thing  permanent in the war against infidel rule is the Koran, sira and hadith. It is totally irrelevant whether the government gets some papers signed with one group or with another:  Islam must conquer, the world belongs to allah and the believers must kill and die to fulfil allah’s command.
Next step: Bangsamoro Law
MANILA, Philippines – After the signing of the four annexes of the peace deal with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), the next focus is on the crafting and enactment of a law that will establish a Bangsamoro political entity, a Palace official said yesterday.

Press Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said the Bangsamoro Basic Law is being drafted and will be submitted by the Bangsamoro Transition Commission to Congress in May.
The commission is a 15-member body created by the government and the MILF, and composed mostly of Muslim scholars.
“Once this bill is enacted into law, then it will be submitted to the people (of Mindanao) for a plebiscite,” Coloma said in his regular weekend interview over state-run dzRB.
On Saturday, the government and the MILF signed a deal on normalization, the last of the four annexes to the framework agreement on the Bangsamoro. Negotiators from both sides also inked the addendum on Bangsamoro waters, which outlines the delineation of territorial waters that will be governed by the Bangsamoro entity as well as arrangements outside the region’s maritime limits.
Signed last year were the three other annexes of the framework agreement – the annex on transitional arrangements and modalities, annex on revenue generation and wealth sharing, and annex on power sharing.
The framework agreement, signed in October 2012, envisioned the creation of the Bangsamoro government that will replace the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) in June 2016, before President Aquino steps down from office.
Disbandment of armed groups
According to government peace panel chairman Miriam Coronel-Ferrer, part of the normalization process is the “disbandment” of private armed groups in Mindanao, particularly those attached to politicians.
