Myanmar delegation visits Muslim rebel group

According to the MILF Web site, Luwaran.net, the delegation arrived on Dec. 16 to study and research on the peace process by visiting the Office of Chief of Staff Sammy Al Mansor of the Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces, the MILF’s armed wing.

The delegates were a mixed company of government officials and individuals from rebel groups which seek to learn from the MILF’s experience, MILF chief negotiator Mohagher Q. Iqbal said in a phone interview.

Myanmar previously had five rebel fronts that formed into a union, which has since signed a ceasefire agreement with the government last October.

“The two shared the experience of the MILF in the peace process and how the negotiation came into being and until the signing of the peace accords, the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro (FAB) and the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB),” the MILF said in the article posted on its Web site.
