A Million Signatures to Stop the War in
Mindanao
Stop the Estrada Regime's All-Out War in Mindanao
Support the Initiatives for the Resumption of Peace Negotiations
Respect the Moro People's Right to Self-Determination
We, the undersigned members of different social movements, NGOs,
church groups, human rights and other civic organizations and concerned
individuals, put forward our position regarding the war that has been raging on
in Mindanao, Philippines.
We condemn the Estrada government's all-out war against the Moro
people. It is deplorable that a government could spend millions daily in a war
that has resulted in hundreds of casualties, dislocated thousands of rural
communities and left scores orphaned and widowed while it refuses to provide
people even their barest needs and social services such as education and health.
Neither can the government justify the war in the pretext of
pursuing some groups of fully armed hostage-takers. It cannot be used as a
smokescreen to blur the real target: the Moro people's struggle for
self-determination, now represented by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).
We cannot hope to achieve a lasting peace in Mindanao through a
military solution. Months of war and the claimed decisive victory by the Estrada
administration is nowhere in sight. It has in fact suffered more casualties and
incurred huge losses in terms of commerce and trade. And even if the government
does achieve temporary victory given its current military superiority, it cannot
annihilate the Moro people's aspiration for genuine independence.
The situation in Mindanao once more highlights the need to
comprehensively address the root causes that has fuelled rebellion in the
Southern Philippines for several ages now. The Moro people have suffered more
than enough oppression and exploitation from foreign and local elites who
themselves control the national government and who have systematically
disenfranchised the Moros from control of their lands and other resources,
whipped up the Christian-Muslim divide and used military might to crush
resistance.
Given the bias and injustices experienced by the Moro people
from all the previous governments and its long history of independence from any
colonization, the struggle for self-determination becomes a just struggle. The
same is true under the current government not only for the Moro people but the
majority of the Filipinos in general. Thus, we enjoin our Muslim brothers and
sisters to link arms with the rest of the Filipino people in a common struggle
against local and foreign oppressors, now politically represented by the Estrada
regime.
A genuine peace process is a most welcome move at this time. But
for it to prosper, it should be premised on the recognition and respect for the
justness and legitimacy of the Moro people's struggle for self-determination.
Otherwise, peace will remain as elusive.
We thus call on the Estrada government to pull out all AFP
troops and stop the all-out war in Mindanao right now and immediately pursue a
political negotiation towards a lasting and genuine solution to the Mindanao
conflict.
