Moro Nationalism
Moro Nationalism refers to the political and social movement among the Muslim population in the Philippines, particularly in the Moro regions of Mindanao. This movement seeks to assert the identity, rights, and autonomy of the Moro people, who have a distinct culture and history compared to the predominantly Christian population of the country.
The roots of Moro Nationalism can be traced back to historical grievances, including colonial rule and marginalization. The movement has led to various efforts for self-determination, including the establishment of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) in 2019, which aims to provide greater political and economic autonomy to the Moro people.
