The Bangsamoro Republik, officially called the United Federated States of Bangsamoro Republik (UFSBR), was a territory that tried to become its own country in the Philippines. However, no other countries recognized it as independent. They still saw it as part of the Philippines.
Nur Misuari, who was the leader of a group called the Moro National Liberation Front, announced that the Bangsamoro Republik was now independent. This happened in a place called Talipao in Sulu on August 12, 2013. The city of Davao City was named as its capital.
The Bangsamoro Republik was planned to be a federal republic. This means it would have a government where power is shared between a central government and smaller local governments. At the time, the government was described as being in exile. This means the leaders claimed to be in charge, but they were not actually able to govern from their declared capital.
According to Nur Misuari, the new republic would include several islands in the Philippines. These islands were Basilan, Mindanao, Palawan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi. These are places where the Bangsamoro people have traditionally lived for a long time. However, a lawyer for Misuari, Emmanuel Fontanilla, said the claimed territory also included parts of Malaysia. These were the states of Sabah and Sarawak.
The Bangsamoro Republik was declared on August 12, 2013. But it only lasted for a short time. It ended on September 28, 2013, after a conflict in Zamboanga City.
