MANILA - The Palace welcomed a reported statement of the
Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) rebuking Nur Misuari for the
attacks of Moro National Liberation Front rebels in Zamboanga.
"We certainly welcome the statement of OIC where they have viewed the action of chairman Misuari as a wrong move. We in the Philippines saw it as a wrong move. And we are certainly happy that the [OIC] has realized that the action taken by chairman Nur Misuari was damaging to his cause and to Zamboanga and to the cause of the MNLF," Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda said.
Citing a diplomatic source, the Manila Standard Today reported that the influential OIC chided Misuari for the hostage crisis back in September.
“Secretary General Ihsanoglu said Misuari made a ‘wrong move’ when he resorted to violence in trying to assert his cause,” said Manila Standard Today’s source.
The source said OIC Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu called for a closed-door meeting to discuss the attack.
In a resolution, OIC said the loss of lives as a result of the attack was “deplorable.”
The OIC resolution also “called upon member states and Islamic relief organizations to help generously in the efforts of relief and reconstruction operation to allow the quick return of the many thousand displaced people to their homes and to compensate the victims.” – with reports from Willard Cheng, ABS-CBN News
