THE Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) expressed its condolences over the death on July 13 of Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) chairman Salamat Hashim. In a statement, CPP spokesperson Gregorio "Ka Roger" Rosal saluted Chairman Salamat for unstintingly serving the Moro people all his life and for his "millitancy and revolutionary leadership." Under his leadership, the Moro people's armed struggle gained renewed vigor, advanced, and successfully thwarted the reactionary government's attempt to crush the MILF by military means or to use the peace talks as a way to effect its surrender.

Salamat Hashim was very open to the formation of the national revolutionary united front of the NDFP and the MILF. The alliance of the two revolutionary organizations became formal in 1999, but it had already existed for over two decades.

At the same time, the CPP welcomed Al Haj Murad's succession to the post vacated by the late Salamat Hashim. "We also consider him a friend and ally," said Ka Roger. "We are confident that Chairman Murad will continue Chairman Salamat's brilliant work," and "we foresee the continuing positive relationship and cooperation between the CPP-NPA-NDFP and the MILF-BIAF," added Ka Roger.
