MNLF leadership 0

The founder and leader of the MNLF is Prof. Dr. Nur Misuari. He is recognized by the Organization of the Islamic Conference, United Nations, and the Republic of the Philippines as the Chieftain of the Bangsamoro and the Commander in Chief of the MNLF.

Prof. Dr. Nur Misuari is the only person in the Bangsamoro Land who is distinguished as a certified United Nations Peace Prize Awardee; Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Nominee; Awardee of Felix Houphouet-Boigny Peace Prize.[9] He is one of the few individuals that have acquired an international reputation on account of their major contribution to the promotion of peace, democracy and human rights.

Despite the final peace agreement, Prof. Dr. Nur Misuari was charged of rebellion over an alleged attack on a Philippine military camp in Sulu in 2001, an attack which he denied and the MNLF denied. Nur Misuari became a political prisoner from 2001-2009 by the regime of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. While Nur Misuari was in prison, the GRPH took advantage of the opportunity to use the media and internet to destroy the reputation of the Peace Awards of Nur Misuari and the noble cause of the MNLF. In the end, the Arroyo strategy is futile, the prosecution was unable to produce a single evidence or testimony, in 2009 the court acquitted Nur Misuari on the charges of rebellion.

Prof. Dr. Nur Misuari is considered by the MNLF as the living National Hero of the Bangsamoro Land.
