“I believe, as I said during the campaign, that this one single man can provide solution to the problem of peace and order in our homeland,” Misuari said. Misuari signed a peace agreement with the government in 1996 in return for the establishment of a Muslim autonomous area of which he became governor. Misuari allegedly orchestrated the 2013 Zamboanga attacks because he felt the MNLF was being sidelined under the planned MILF peace deal with Aquino. ‘Brother Nur’Referring to Misuari as “Brother Nur” and “Chairman Misuari,” Duterte said he had ordered the rebellion charges in a Pasig City court suspended. Armed with the court order, Presidential Peace Adviser Jesus Dureza flew by jet to Jolo, Sulu on Thursday to bring Misuari to Manila on instructions from President Duterte.
