Suara Bangsamoro (
History
Suara Bangsamoro was established in March 18, 2002
as a political representation of the leftist organization
Bayan Muna specifically catering to the interest of the
Moro people of
Mindanao.
It participated in the 2004 Philippine House of Representatives elections as an aspirant party-list group with Amirah Ali Lidasan, Suara Bangsamoro's secretary-general who was also a former chairman of the National Union of Students of the Philippines (NUSP) as its first nominee. However the organization failed to win a single seat alleging that it has been a victim of voter fraud in
Mindanao.
It also made a second failed bid in the 2007 elections.
Political position
Suara Bangsamoro's advocacies is centered on the
self-determinism and self-reliance of the Moro people, as well as fostering inter-ethnic relations between Moros and non-Moro Filipinos in the context of the Mindanao peace process. It also seeks what it believes is genuine industrialization and
land reform. It is also against actions by foreign parties which it equates to "foreign aggression, domination, exploitation, and oppression",
[ and is particularly critical of the role of the United States in the Moro conflict.][
