NSC laments Reds' order to intensify attacks
The Philippine Star
|January 04, 2024
The National Security Council (NSC) slammed yesterday the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army-National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF) for calling on its armed members to launch fresh and bigger attacks against the government despite ongoing exploratory talks on possible peace negotiations in Oslo, Norway.
The communist movement released a statement on its 55th founding anniversary last week directing its armed members to “stir up and spread the flames of the people’s war.”
NSC assistant director general Jonathan Malaya said the CPP-NPA-NDF should encourage communist rebels to lay down arms in support of the Joint Communique issued on Nov. 23.
Malaya said the remaining members of the CPP-NPA launched a so-called 3rd Rectification Movement on Dec. 26, 2023, telling all its committees to further advance the revolutionary armed struggle while it is engaged in exploratory peace talks with the government.
