MILF urges Manila to resume peace talks
The Philippines largest Muslim rebel group, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, urged Manila yesterday to resume the stalled peace talks as Malaysia threatened anew to pull out all its cease-fire observers deployed in Mindanao if there is no progress in the seven-year old negotiations.
Peace talks between the Philippine government and Muslim separatist rebels collapsed after Manila tried to go back on an earlier agreement, rebel spokesmen said on Saturday.
