Abdullah Goldiano Makapaar bin Sabbar,commonly known by his nom de guerre Commander Bravo, was a former Moro rebel who fought under the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and is a politician who is a member of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority Parliament.[1]
Abdullah Makapaar is of Maranao heritage and is a son of a sultan. He dropped out of elementary school and went to Saudi Arabia to pursue studies in religion while working as a taxi driver. Makapaar also went to Pakistan where he studied at the Islamic Academy in Pakistan where he had Hashim Salamat, the founder of the Moro secessionist group Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), as his mentor.[1]
Makapaar fought in the Soviet–Afghan War joining the mujahideen which fought against the Soviet Union and the Soviet-backed Afghan government in the early 1980s. Upon his return to the Philippines, he assumed command of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front's northwestern command from his brother who goes by the nom de guerre, Commander James Bond. As commander he launched a "war on drugs" within the organization and imposed Islamic discipline on its members.[1]
He was implicated to have been behind attacks in Lanao del Norte in 2008, after a negotiations for a deal that would create a Bangsamoro Juridical Entity (BJE) was dropped.[1][2] Makapaar has denied to have a direct role on the attacks saying that non-MILF affiliated mujahideen were responsible and maintained that his forces would have retaliated have Philippine government forces attack MILF positions.[3][4]
Abdullah Makapaar was nominated by the MILF in February 2019 to be part of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority Parliament which serves as an interim legislature for the then-newly formed Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.[5][6][7]
