Bangsamoro condemn the Bombing that happened recently (passenger bus in Guiwan
and Mosque Sutterville) that wounded several civilians.
This is an act of disrespect to the
peace that muslims and Christians pray for, as Eid’l Fitr comes near. “Call for
sobriety while we cry for swift justice. We hope that this would not be used to
fan a religious discontent or frame up an innocent civilian, he said. (By Jong Cadion)
