菲律賓反叛組織警告伊斯蘭國勢力增長

The leader of the main Muslim rebel group fighting for autonomy in the southern Philippines warns the Islamic State could soon gain the upper hand in establishing a foothold in the region.

爲爭取在菲律賓南部實行自治而戰鬥的主要穆斯林反叛組織領導人警告說，伊斯蘭國不久就會在該地區建立據點的行動中佔據上風。

Murad Ebrahim, who chairs the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), told reporters in Kuala Lumpur Monday the extremist group could take advantage of the frustrations of Muslims in the southern region of Mindanao over the legislature's failure to ratify a peace deal reached between his group and President Benigno Aquino's administration in 2014.

摩羅伊斯蘭解放陣線首領艾布拉希姆星期一在吉隆坡對記者說，菲律賓議會拒絕批准該組織與阿基諾政府在2014年達成的和平協議，而伊斯蘭國可能會利用棉蘭老地區的穆斯林因此而產生的不滿情緒。

The deal, which was brokered by Malaysia, would grant minority Muslims greater autonomy in exchange for ending a four-decade-old insurgency that has claimed well over 100,000 lives.

在馬來西亞斡旋下達成的和平協議規定，穆斯林少數族裔可以享有更大自治權，作爲交換條件，摩羅伊斯蘭解放陣線將結束持續40年的反叛活動。這期間有10萬多人死於武裝衝突。

Ebrahim said the MILF will not abandon its armed struggle for an autonomous homeland, but says it will not revert to violence so long as the peace process has a chance to succeed.

艾布拉希姆說，摩羅伊斯蘭解放陣線不會放棄爭取自治家園的武裝鬥爭，但只要和平進程還存在成功的希望，該組織就不會重走暴力之路。
