Bangsamoro Republik
Today the ARMM's self-rule provisions still haven't been
fully implemented, and with the Philippine government in the process of
arranging a separate peace agreement with the MILF, some MNLF members have
become disillusioned with their own deal. Last month, a faction of the MNLF
joined the organization's original founder, Nur Misuari, in declaring an
independent country called the Bangsamoro Republik.
"Bangsamoro" is a
traditional name for the homeland of the Moro people, and the declaration of
independence claimed the Mindanao, Sulu, and Palawan regions of the Philippines
for the new country. Though the founders of the republic are Muslims, they're
not Islamists: the MNLF says Bangsamoro will be inclusive of all ethnic groups
and religions in the region. But for all its talk of independence in August, the
Bangsamoro Republik didn't actually control any territory at all - until this
week.

Flag of the Mindanao Independence Movement: vertically divided red-white-yellow, with thin red and yellow stripes. In the center, yellow star and crescent flanked by Arabic (?) script. Source: Flags of Aspirant Peoples.
Ivan Sache, 16 September 1999
The inscription appears to be wrong. It says: Allah (no shadda ?) AKAbar insted of AKbar (= the greatest). The right accent above the left word should be above the first letter and not above the second. I guess the the last letter is longer downwards to make it look like a "Ra" and not "Dal".
Dov Gutterman, 21 September, 1999
At least, it is written wrong on the chart!. The accent is definitively above the second letter.

The Bangsamoro Republic looks like the result of a peace deal between the
Philippine government and the Moro rebels (Moro National Liberation Front). In
exchange for peace there is planned to construct some kind of autonomous region
or province:

The flag of the Bangsamoro Republic may or may be not the flag of the Moro
National Liberation Front.
