حركة استقلال المورو في الفيليبين وموقف منظمة المؤتمر الإسلامي منها (1977-1973)‎

Abstract EN

The problem of minorities is one problem that attracted the attention of the United Nations and most countries of the world, because of their role in destabilizing the countries concerned.

their governments had to stop violating civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, which are based on discrimination, racism and exclusion; because of the ethnic, religious, national or racial characteristics of those minorities, and that those governments grant their minorities the right to enjoy their own religion, culture and language, and work on studying the history of those minorities, their customs, traditions and culture, and enable their elements to take part in building the country.

from this point of view, we have studied a stage of the struggle of the Moro Muslim minority in the southern Philippines with the manila government.

the moral, humanitarian and religious duty prompted us to study the struggle of this minority, whose history, culture and religion were neglected by the colonial and then local governments (after independence in 1946), and they tried and worked to integrate them against its will with the Filipino society, it had multiple attempts throughout history to get rid of the Filipino domination, including the attempt that resulted in the conflict with the Filipino authorities during the period (1973-1977).

the study began in 1973, in which the conflict erupted between the Moro national liberation front (the representative of Muslims in the southern Philippines) with the Philippine government, and the same year witnessed the beginning of the intervention of the organization of the Islamic conference in the case, which added an important dimension to it, especially as it could attract the attention of the Moro leader Nur Misuari, who led the stage of conflict with the Philippine government which left many dead and wounded on both sides, and the study stopped in 1977, the year in which the two parties (the national front and the Philippine government) failed to implement the terms of the Tripoli agreement, because of their conflicting interpretations of its terms, and witnessed the year mentioned disintegration of the national front and its division into several groups.
