DECLARE A HUMANITARIAN CEASEFIRE IN ZAMBOANGA CITY, NOW!
A Petition Campaign in Support for Dialogue, Humanitarian Action and Ceasefire
WE, THE UNDERSIGNED PEACE ADVOCATES, CIVIL SOCIETY GROUPS AND CONCERNED
CITIZENS IN MINDANAO AND FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, FERVENTLY APPEAL IN
CALLING FOR DIALOGUE AND THE IMMEDIATE DECLARATION OF A HUMANITARIAN
CEASEFIRE in the conflict-affected barangays in Zamboanga City to address the standoff since
September 9, 2013.
Specifically, we urge H.E. Benigno Simeon Aquino III, MNLF Chair Prof. Nur Misuari, Mayor
Isabelle Climaco, Sec. Voltaire Gazmin, Sec. Mar Roxas, Sec Teresita Deles, and the
Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) to heed the following calls:
1. We call for an immediate stop to the firefight and a prompt and orderly redeployment of
forces – both the MNLF and the AFP to address the alarming evacuee situation;
2. We call on both parties to immediately delineate a humanitarian corridor where civilians
and injured combatants may be safely assisted with their humanitarian needs;
3. Generate public support towards broad humanitarian action by allowing full access and the
entry of humanitarian groups to complement existing efforts of the local government,
DSWD, and civil society in Zamboanga City;
4. We call for both parties to dialogue and allow for sufficient space for peaceful negotiations
to take place;
5. We strongly recommend that those who are responsible for the deaths, destruction of
properties and other human rights violations will be held fully accountable;
6. We appeal to the Philippine Government and its Office on the Presidential Adviser on the
Peace Process (OPAPP) to translate its policy in addressing the fate of the MNLF peace
process and their legitimate issues;
7. Lastly, we call on all our peoples, civil society including the media to remain calm, objective
and reasonable while we continue to serve and offer our knowledge in preventing the
escalation of this conflict as we guard the gains of the overall peace process in Mindanao.
We hope and pray that this matter is resolved quickly, justly and peaceably, and that equanimity
prevails in the restoration of peace and order in Zamboanga City and its surrounds.
Declare a Zamboanga City-wide ceasefire now! Spare the civilians from armed hostilities!
No to armed action and militarization in Zamboanga City!
