ARMM Governor Nur Misuari accuses the government of violating the terms of the 1996 peace agreement by not giving weapons to former guerrillas who joined the military. Under the deal, 7500 rebels were to have been absorbed in the military and police forces. MNLF cadres have previously walked out of training camps accusing Christian officers of discrimination. Late last year, three Christian soldiers were killed in a shoot-out with MNLF members (Agence France Presse, 01/08/99).
