SULTAN KUDARAT, Maguindanao, Oct. 11 (PNA) - The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) leadership is expecting the resumption of the stalled peace talks with the government anytime soon.


"As long as there is sign of hope, we continue to deal with the government to attain peace in our homeland," MILF chair Murad Ebrahim said.


This was stated by Murad when the chief of Royal Brunei Armed Forces visited him in Camp Darapanan here on Saturday.
MANILA, Philippines — Two persons were hurt after three unidentified motorcycle-riding suspects lobbed a grenade in front of a school in Sultan Kudarat province Wednesday night, Chief Superintendent Agrimero Cruz Jr., spokesman of the Philippine National Police, said on Thursday.
 
The incident occurred at the gates of Tacurong National Highschool in New Isabela, Tacurong City at around 9:30 p.m.
"We remain confident with President (Benigno) Aquino," Murad told Royal Brunei Armed Forces commander Maj. Gen. Dato Paduka Seri Haji Aminuddin Ihsan Bin Pehin Orang Kaya Saiful Mulok Dato Seri Paduka Haji Abidin.
The victims were rushed to Tamondong Hospital for medical treatment, said Cruz.
 
No other details are available as of posting time.
Murad also sought the help of Brunei in bringing about peace in the troubled parts of Mindanao.
 
In a statement released by the MILF committee on information Tuesday, the MILF said: “We are confident that Brother Aminuddin can significantly help in strengthening the commitment and assistance of the Royal Government of Brunei in the search for peace in Mindanao and in the Bangsamoro Homeland."
 
Aminuddin assured Murad and other MILF leaders that the Brunei government is strongly committed to support the peace process.
 
Brunei is a member of International Monitoring Team (IMT) led by Malaysia that help implement the GPH-MILF ceasefire agreement in flash points in Mindanao.
 
"Brunei’s determination to help the peace process succeed is shown when it sent more troops assigned with the IMT to help establish conducive atmosphere for the attainment of peace and prosperity in southern Mindanao," Aminuddin said.
 
He told the MILF officials that he was very honored and humbled of the warm welcome as he vowed to work for a longer visit to the MILF stronghold in Mindanao.
 
Peace talks between the government and the MILF are expected to resume within the month as the Malaysian facilitator has been hopping between Manila and Mindanao to arrange the resumption of the stalled peace process.
