Moro National Liberation Front

The Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) is a political and militant organization in the Philippines that was founded in 1972 to advocate for the independence and self-determination of the Moro people, who are predominantly Muslim and live in Mindanao. They initially sought autonomy through armed struggle but later engaged in peace negotiations to achieve greater regional rights. The MNLF has played a significant role in the country's efforts to address historical grievances and regional conflicts in Mindanao, aiming for political autonomy while remaining part of the Philippines.
