Al Haj Murad Ebrahim, chairperson of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), has urged leaders and members of the Front to close ranks and unite in the face of all sorts of trials and tribulations that come within and from without the organization. Murad was speaking before a group of fellow workers in the MILF from municipalities to provinces in Central Mindanao, who came to see him before the start of the holy month of Ramadan.

He said that even in no active combat situation, there is always need to unite and rally one another, citing other revolutionary groups which split into several sub-groups after they have already signed agreement with the government.
 
He also mentioned the National Democratic Front (NDF), which cracked and split into several groups not because they are not all communists but they differed on strategy and tactics to reach their political goal.
 
The NDF pro-Sison wing strictly adheres to the non-revisionist line of the Maoist-Marxist line, while the other groups gradually adopted the European style of communism which participated in state affairs and politics.
 
Murad also reminded his audience that one of the most dangerous threats to any revolutionary organization, even if it has already attained maturity and gained vast experience, is “influence operations” of the enemy.
 
He said the enemy will not try to assassinate or lure a revolutionary leader to surrender  but covertly send operatives to find their way into the inner circle of such leader and influence his decisions aimed ultimately for the destruction of the organization by sowing intrigues, hatred, and disunity.
 
He enumerated several ways to maintain the unity and solidarity of the MILF, to wit:
 
1. Always dedicate our service to Allah, Who rewards us for our sincere acts and service;
2. Think, act, and work for the true interests of the entire Bangsamoro people and never for one’s own ethnic tribe, groups, or clans;
3. Never entertain or work for personal ambition while in the service of the MILF;
4. Resolve all doubts, all conflicts in favor of the highest interests of the struggle;
5.  Never act on the basis of suspicion or speculation;
6. Always find way to verify or validate with your brothers any adverse report. Both in Islam and in a revolutionary struggle, it is always bad to act on the basis of suspicion; and
7. Never talk to the government or its officials except through the framework of the peace process or ask any favor from them.
