MANILA, Philippines – After agreeing on power sharing over the Bangsamoro waters Friday night, the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front or MILF on Saturday, January 25, agreed on a historic firearms deal that would require the rebel group to gradually decommission their firearms in phases.
It is the last document needed to be settled before the comprehensive peace agreement between the government and the MILF can be signed.
The MILF agreed to “decommission” a specific number of their firearms and troops in certain periods as the government, in exchange, also gave its commitment to reduce armed forces and help disband private armed groups in Mindanao.
Watch OPAPP’s video of the historic signing of the firearms agreement deal. This brings them even closer to a final peace agreement.
