GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Oct. 25 (PNA) - The European Union Delegation to the Philippines has urged the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) to strengthen their coordination to avoid deadly clashes and for the International Monitoring Team (IMT) to conduct an independent probe on recent skirmishes in pockets of Mindanao. | |||
The EU Delegation made the appeal on the heels of separate violent attacks since last week in Basilan, Zamboanga Sibugay and Lanao del Norte that already left 29 soldiers dead. | |||
Calls for an all-out war against the MILF came to fore especially with the Al Barka clashes on October 18 where 19 soldiers died. | |||
In a statement, the EU Delegation said it welcomed the call for the IMT to conduct an independent investigation on the incidents. | |||
“Such an investigation would help the parties to determine whether there have been violations of the cease-fire agreement and violations of the international law and human rights,” it said. | |||
The EU Delegation appealed to the parties to strengthen coordination through the Joint Coordination Committee for the Cessation of Hostilities. | |||
The EU, a member of the IMT on rehabilitation and development, will continue to support peaceful efforts to achieve long-lasting peace in Mindanao, the delegation said. | |||
The group also lauded President Benigno Aquino III for reaffirming his commitment to achieve peace in Mindanao through a political settlement. | |||
For the MILF, the EU delegation urged it to condemn the use of violence, at the same time hoping that the parties in the conflict will maintain an unwavering commitment to the ceasefire and the peace process. | |||
