| MILF stands for the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. This group broke off from the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) after the collapse of the Tripoli agreement. In recent years, in response to the enlightened policies of Arroyo?s government, both groups have moderated their demands and have proved forces for reason and moderation in the Philippines. We should be careful not to confuse the MILF with the Abu Sayyaf group, whom they condemn. Including them in our military efforts would radicalize a moderate group, and could inflame an area where efforts at accommodation and inclusion are bearing fruit. |
