COTABATO CITY—The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) has named Von Al Haq as its new spokesman, replacing Eid Kabalu who was asked to quit his post after he openly sought for appointment as officer in charge of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
Along with the MILF’s naming of its new spokesman, it also announced the appointment of two lady consultants for its negotiating panel that has been talking peace with the government for already 14 years.
“Feel free to call me anytime you need some clarifications on any issues” involving the MILF, said Al Haq, who once headed the Front’s Committee on the Cessation of Hostilities, in a telephone interview.
Lawyer Raissa Jajurie, a Tausug lawyer and a known defender of Moro and Lumad rights, was named consultant of the MILF peace negotiating panel, headed by chairman Mohagher Iqbal, along with Bai Cabaybay Abubakar who came from the academe.
