PAS : KE ARAH PEMERINTAHAN ISLAM YANG ADIL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TALIPAO, Sulu--Galib Andang was
only 10 years old when he carried a gun
as a recruit of the Moro National
Liberation Front.
He once received a bullet in the chest from a
government gun... one of the
five known leaders of Abu Sayyaf gunmen...
This interview took place somewhere in Bandang,
Talipao, near the jungle lair where the hostages await the
outcome of talks
between the government and their captors.
Excerpts:
Q: Why did you organize this movement?
A: We organized this movement known as Al-Harakatul
Islamiya because this name, Abu Sayyaf, is simply the
name or
nickname of (slain Abu Sayyaf leader) Ustadz Aburajak
Janjalani (the brother of Khaddafy Janjalani,
the Basilan-based Abu Sayyaf head).
The name of this organization that is struggling in
the path of
Allah here in our homeland is called Al-Harakatul al
Islamiya,
which translated into English is ''Islamic Movement''
. . .
We founded this because we want our land to be
governed by
the laws of the (Koran) and the Hadis (teachings of
the
Prophet), insha'llah (may God grant it).
Q: Do you get support from other countries?
A: We are self-reliant. Well, in the past, our elders
(in the Moro
National Liberation Front) received assistance from
countries
like Libya, Malaysia, Portugal. But at this time,
there is none.
There is only one: Osama bin Laden.
Q: What is your objective?
A: If what we are asking for--an independent Islamic
state--can
be given to us, our race will govern in Mindanao; we
will be
triumphant and free; and the laws that Allah wants
will reign.
We have no other objective.
Q: All over Mindanao, not just in Sulu?
A: All over Mindanao. However, this can be discussed
and
negotiated. (Note: The government has rejected the
demand for
an independent Islamic state in Mindanao, although it
has
raised the possibility of expanded Muslim autonomy.)
Not for ransom?
Q: Is that your objective in abducting these people
from
Sipadan?
A: Yes, that is our objective. We are not like the
(kidnapping)
syndicates in Manila. Our objective is none other than
that. We
do not intend to be rich or to be praised and be
famous.
We just want to free ourselves from our duty and
obligation, so
that generations to come will not blame us in the name
of Allah
for failing to comply with the teachings of our
religion.
Q: Do you belong to the same movement as those in
Basilan?
A: There is only one Al-Harakatul Islamiya, only one.
The only
difference is that some are in Basilan, in Sarangani,
in
Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga del Norte, Tawi-Tawi,
Sulu and
in other places like General Santos, and even in
Manila.
Q: In your view, is there a possibility that you and
the
government can come to an agreement?
A: As of now, the government is finding ways to
resolve this.
We are doing the same. These things are still under
negotiation.
German hostage
Q: How about the hostages, can you not find it in
your heart to
release the ailing woman (German hostage Renate
Wallert,
who was earlier reported to be suffering from
hypertension)?
A: That will have to be discussed. All problems have a
solution.
But we have to discuss this face to face with the
representatives
of the government. The government has to grant us what
we are
demanding. But where money is concerned, we have not
discussed this.
But we have to discuss this matter. The government of
thePhilippines breaks its promises.
Q: But have you expressed (to the government
negotiators)
what needs to be done for you to release the
ailing German hostage?
A: We have discussed confidential matters, but it
seems they cannot comply with these.
Q: (Asked by German TV journalist) Is it possible, as
a matter
of pity and kindness, for you to release the old
German woman?
It would be easier for people in Germany, for
example, to
understand you and your cause if they see that you are
also
capable of pity for an old woman.
A: What is your purpose--are you a negotiator, or a
member of
the press? Okay, if he is with the press, tell him
to just do his
work, to interview and not to demand. But if he want
to be a
negotiator, then he should not work with media. He
should ask
authorization from Sec. (Robert) Aventajado or his
government
(to negotiate).
$1 million
Q: Suppose you were offered $1 million, would you be
willing to
release some of the hostages?
A: We have not discussed any demands for money.
Q: How long do you think it will take to resolve this
hostage
crisis?
A: As of now, we are still negotiating and trying to
come to an
understanding. We are discussing and looking for a
resolution
that will be best for all concerned.
Q: Can you guarantee the safety of the hostages?
A: This should be asked of the Philippine government.
If they
will not order the military to move, (yes), but if
there will be
military operations, then from our experience, we
have to fight.
Q: So what you are saying is that the fate of the
hostages
depends on what the government decides?
A: Yes.
