The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) is a rebel group in the Philippines that seeks greater autonomy for the Muslim population in the southern region of Mindanao. Founded in 1977, the MILF emerged from a split in the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), advocating for an Islamic state and the rights of the Moro people. In 2014, the MILF signed a peace agreement with the Philippine government, leading to the establishment of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). This agreement aimed to address long-standing issues of governance, land rights, and cultural identity for the Moro people, promoting peace and development in the region.
