ရင့္က်က္မႈရွိၿပီး မိမိႏုိင္သည့္အခါတြင္လည္း ႐ႈံးသူကို ႏိုင္ထက္စီးနင္းမျပဳဘဲ ေမတၱာတရားျဖင့္ ဆက္ဆံႏိုင္ရမည္။ ေဒၚစုက ေမတၱာတရားကို ထားျခင္းသည္ ျမန္မာႏိုင္ငံက စံျပအျဖစ္ျပဳသင့္သည္ဟုျမင္သည္။ ယေန႔စစ္အာဏာရွင္ အသြင္ေျပာင္း အရပ္သားအစိုးရသည္ ျပည္သူမေထာက္ခံဘဲ အာဏာယူထားသည့္ အစိုးရျဖစ္သည္။ ထို႔အတြက္ ႐ႈံးနိမ့္လွ်င္ အတိုက္အခံတို႔မွ ျပစ္ဒါဏ္ခတ္လာမည္ကို စိုးေၾကာက္ေနျခင္းကို ေဒၚစုက ေမတၱာတရားေ႐ွ႕ထားၿပီး

လကၡဏာေဒၚစုက သူမ အေနႏွင့္ အစိုးရအေျပာင္းအလဲကို ညင္သာေသာနည္း၊ သိကၡာ႐ွိ႐ွိ ၿငိမ္းခ်မ္းစြာ ေျပာင္းလဲလိုသည္ဟု ဆိုသည္။ ထိုသုိ႔ ေျပာင္းလဲျခင္းသည္ ဒီမိုကေရစီ၏ ေကာင္းျမတ္ေသာလကၡဏာတရပ္ဟု မီးေမာင္းထုိးျပသည္။ ထိုအခ်က္သည္ ၁၉၉၀ ေ႐ြးေကာက္ပြဲတြင္ အႏိုင္ရ NLD ပါတီအား အာဏာေပးအပ္ရန္ စစ္အစိုးရမွ ျငင္းပယ္ခဲ့ျခင္းသည္ ဒီမိုကေရစီလကၡဏာ မေဆာင္၊ လာမည့္ ၂၀၁၅ ေ႐ြးေကာက္ပြဲသည္ ဒီမိုကေရစီလကၡဏာေဆာင္ဘုိ႔လိုသည္။ NLD သည္ ၂၀၁၅ ေ႐ြးေကာက္ပြဲအတြက္ ျပင္ ဆင္ႏုိင္ဘုိ႔ အားယူႏုိင္ဘုိ႔ လိုသည္ဟု ရည္႐ြယ္ၿပီး ေျပာဟန္႐ွိသည္။ ဦးသိန္းစိန္အစိုးရကုိလည္း ဒီမိုကေရစီႏိုင္ငံ အမွန္တကယ္ေပၚေပါက္လာေစခ်င္လွ်င္ ညင္သာေစြာ ေျပာင္းလဲမႈျဖစ္သည့္ ေ႐ြးေကာက္ပြဲ ရလာဒ္ကို ေလးစားလိုက္နာဘို႔ လိုေၾကာင္း ႀကိဳတင္ အသိေပးထားျခင္းလည္း ျဖစ္ႏုိင္သည္ဟု ေကာက္ခ်က္ခ်သည္။ NLD ပါတီဝင္မ်ားကိုလည္း ႏိုင္ငံေရးအခင္းအက်င္း ေျပာင္းလွ်င္ ေျပာင္းသလို ကစားႏုိင္ရမည္၊ ပုံစံေျပာင္းႏုိင္ရမည္ဟု အသိေပးလိုက္ျခင္းျဖစ္ေၾကာင္း သုံးသပ္သည္။ ၂၀၀၈ နာဂစ္ အေျခခံဥပေဒကို NLD က လက္မခံေသာ္လည္း ေျပာင္းလဲလာေသာ ႏိုင္ငံေရးအခင္းအက်ဥ္းအရ ေ႐ြးေကာက္ပြဲ ဝင္သင့္လွ်င္ ဝင္ၿပီး အာဏာရယူေရးကို စဥ္းစားေနသည္ဟု ထင္သည္။(၄) ဒီမိုကေရစီစံနစ္ကို လူတိုင္းလိုလားသည္လူတိုင္းဒီမိုကေရစီစံနစ္ကို လိုလားသည္ဟု ေဒၚစုေျပာၾကားသြားခဲ့သည္။ လူတိုင္း မိမိကုိ ေလးစားသည့္ စံနစ္၊ လူရာသြင္းတဲ့စံနစ္ကို လိုလားမွာျဖစ္သည္ဟု ေျပာဆိုခ်က္သည္ ေယဘူယ်အေနႏွင့္ မွန္ကန္ေသာ္လည္း စစ္အာဏာ႐ွင္မ်ား ဘက္မွ ၾကည့္လွ်င္ မမွန္ႏိုင္ဟုျမင္သည္။ စစ္အာဏာ႐ွင္မ်ားအတြက္ ၎တို႔ ျပဳစုပ်ဳိးေထာင္ထားေသာ စံနစ္သည္၊ ၎တို႔အတြက္ မွန္ေနသည့္သေဘာျဖစ္သည္။ အာဏာ႐ွင္ဘဝျဖင့္ လုပ္ခ်င္တာလုပ္ခြင့္ရသည္။ မိမိပတ္ဝန္းက်င္က မိမိကုိ လူရာထားသည္၊ ႐ိုေသသည္၊ ေလးစားၾကသည္၊ လက္ညႈိးညႊန္ရာ ေရျဖစ္သည့္ ဘဝျဖစ္သည္။သို႔ရာတြင္ ၎တို႔ဘဝသည္ လူထုႀကီး၏ ေလးစားမႈကို မရေသာဘဝ၊ လူထုႏွင့္

ထိုဘဝမွရုန္းထြက္ရဲသည့္အေနအထားအာဏာယူထားသူမ်ားတြင္ရိွွ ၿပီီလားအထူးေလ့လာသင့္သည္။&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(၅) တာဝန္အရလုပ္ျခင္းတာဝန္အရလုပ္ရပါသည္ဟု ေျပာၿပီး အျပစ္မဲ့သူမ်ားကို ဖမ္းဆီးျခင္း၊ ေထာင္ခ်ျခင္း၊

အ႐ိုးအရင္းကိုက္ရသည္။ လူႀကီးေျပာတာကို လိုက္လုပ္ရသည္။ ဆင္ေျခတက္၍မရ။ ေက်ာင္းတြင္လည္းဆရာ၊ ဆရာမတို႔က စာမလိုက္ႏိုင္လွ်င္၊ လစစ္စာေမးပြဲက်လွ်င္ ေက်ာင္းအုပ္ႀကီးကို ေခၚၿပီး ႀကိမ္ႏွင့္႐ိုက္သည္။ ခေလးမ်ားကို

denounced the Irresponsible USDP Regime Failing to Save River Ayeyarwaddy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12 September 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) strongly denounced the USDP’s Electric Power Minister U Zaw Min’s irresponsible comment saying there is no plan to stop building the Ayeyarwaddy Dam instead the government is pledged to finish building it in the wake of widespread objections. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People of Burma including democracy leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi are calling for to review the Ayeyarwaddy Dam project due to the averse affect it will cause on Burma’s environment, on Burma’s bio-diversity and on Burma’s future. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo Hsing Han and his son Steven Law (a) Tun Myint Naing run Asia World Ltd which currently has contracts to build MyitSone Dam on the Ayeyarwaddy River north of Myitgyinar. Ten more companies are owned under the group in Singapore by Law's wife, Cecilia Ng. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Myitsone Dam site is located just 2 miles below the confluence and about 24 miles away from Myitkyina, the capital of Kachin State. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The length of the dam is about 499 ft (152 m) and the height is about 499 ft, equivalent to the height of a 50-story building. The surface area of the reservoir is about 295.8 sq mi (766 sq km), about the size of New York City (301 sq mi). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A maximum water depth of the reservoir will be about 950 ft (290 m), approximately the height of a 66-story building. The estimated cost of the Myitsone Dam construction project is about US $3.6 billion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The total cost for construction of the seven dams and hydroelectric development projects is about US $20 billion. The major construction contractor from the Chinese side is the China Gezhouba Group Corporation (CCGC), and from the Burmese regime side is Asia World Company. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is strongly believed that Lo Hsing Han's business empire was originally built on narcotic-drug trafficking. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starting as a local militia leader in the northern Kokang region in 1960, Lo Hsing Han was dubbed the "King of Opium" by US drug enforcement authorities in the 1970s because of large amount of heroin his alleged networks were sending through Thailand. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By 1994, his organization was widely considered among the most heavily armed drug trafficking organizations in Southeast Asia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Golden Aaron, an Asia World subsidiary, has been linked to China. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steven Law (a) Tun Myint Naing is the managing director of Golden Aaron, which has now been linked to CNOOC. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both Lo Hsing Han and Steven Law have been on a US visa blacklist since 1996 for suspected drug trafficking activities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In February 2008, they were also put on the Treasury Department's sanctions list, along with Asia World Company and subsidiaries Asia World Co Ltd, Asia World Port Management, Asia World Industries Ltd and Asia World Light Ltd for their financial connections to the regime. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asia World Ltd, Burma's biggest and most diversified conglomerate with interests in industrial development, construction, transportation, import-export and a chain of local supermarkets. It is believed that he also controls several gold mines in Kachin State. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tun Myint Naing also owns the Magwe United Football Club playing in the Myanmar National League (MNL). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saving River Ayeyarwaddy is saving Burma and it is duties of all the people of Burma as well as the duties of man-kind to safe-guard the future of the world we are living in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also call for China Gezhouba Group Corporation (CCGC) and China's National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) to halt the ties with accused drug kin-pin of Burma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) again calling for Burmese and Chinese regimes to review building Myit-Sone dam in Burma. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Addition, Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) call for all the people of Burma and justice loving people around the world to boycott Lo Hsing Han and his son Steven Law (a) Tun Myint Naing and Law’s wife Cecilia Ng’s Companies including Asia World Ltd, Golden Aaron, and Magwe United Football Club. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information please contact Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) at &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;U Myo Thein [United

I look upon him as a dependable person with sincere goodwill for promotion of human rights in Myanmar.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Mr. Quintana, he reserved his comments on his talks with Aung San Suu Kyi as well as on the results of his five-day mission for the press conference he will be giving tomorrow evening at the Yangon International Airport before departing Myanmar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since his appointment to the post of United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar in May 2008, Quintana has previously come here three times – the first time in August 2008, second time in February 2009 and the third time in February 2010. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In all these three previous visits, Quintana was barred from seeing Aung San Suu Kyi by the previous military government. Thus this is the first time Quintana has the chance to hold talks with Aung San Suu Kyi. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On arrival in Nay Pyi Taw on the first day of his visit on August 21 this year, Quintana was cordially received by Myanmar Foreign Minister U Wunna Maung Lwin. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The state media said Quintana and Wunna Maung Lwin held talks discussing progress of improvement of human rights in Myanmar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same day he was received by Minister for Home Affairs Lt-Gen Ko Ko, who happens to be the Chairman of the Myanmar Human Rights Committee. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On his second day of his visit on August 22, Quintana has met and separately held talks with Chief Justice U Tun Tun Oo, Attorney-General U Tun Shin, Minister for Labour U Aung Kyi, Minister for Defence Maj-Gen Hla Min. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day on August 23, Quintana separately met and held talks with Speaker of Pyithu Hluttaw Thura U Shwe Mann and Speaker of Amyotha Hluttaw U Khin Aung Myint. Quintana also met and held talks with chairmen of various parliamentary committees. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Political observers here commented that the way Quintana was eagerly received by the authorities of Thein Sein government contrasted with the way he was not warmly received by the previous military government.&lt;br /&gt; http://www.bdcburma.org&lt;div

President of the Union U Thein Sein held one-to-one talks at the President Residence in Nay Pyi Taw from 4 pm to 5 pm ( MST ) this afternoon, according to U Khun That Myint, NLD officer in charge of security of Aung San Suu Kyi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Following this one hour talks, Aung San Suu Kyi accompanied by U Khun Thar Myint and her personal assistant Daw Su Su Lwin met Daw Khin Khin Win, wife of the President and President’s grand daughter at the President Residence in Nay Pyi Taw,” U Khun Thar Myint told @@ adding that this fifteen minutes meeting was entirely devoted to familiarizing the democracy icon with the President family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Khun Thar Myint described the 15-minute meeting, which he attended as “very cordial in a friendly atmosphere.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However so Khun Thar Myint said he had no knowledge of what the President and democracy icon talked for one hour. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Khun Thar Myint added that Aung San Suu Kyi is due to stop over for the night in Nay Pyi Taw as special guest of the government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Aung San Suu Kyi ( 66 ), who have all along demanded for dialogue with the Head of State for several years as part of her efforts to achieve national reconciliation with the ruling government, her desire for such a dialogue has now been fulfilled though nobody knows yet what the President and Nobel Laureate talked about during one hour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning Aung San Suu Kyi accompanied by her personal assistant Daw Su Su Lwin and her chief NLD security officer U Khun Thar Myint was taken to Nay Pyi Taw by government car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In contrast to the rumours about her being taken to Nay Pyi Taw to attend the national level workshop on Reforming Economic Development, which was held in Nay Pyi Taw this afternoon, were all dashed to ground. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yangon, August 19 -- President of Republic of the Union of Myanmar U Thein Sein received Daw Aung San Suu Kyi at his office in Nay Pyi Taw at 4 pm this afternoon, the state-owned TV announced at 8;30 pm this evening. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The TV also showed footage of the meeting between Thein Sein and Aung San Suu Kyi. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“During the meeting, President U Thein Sein and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi cordially and frankly discussed prospects for cooperation on matters that would benefit the country and the people while keeping aside different opinions,” the TV said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The TV also announced that during the meeting with Aung San Suu Kyi, President Thein Sein took the opportunity to explain to her the endeavours being made by his government in the interests of the country and the people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thought the TV did not announce how long this one-to-one talks took place, NLD security officer Khun Thar Myint, who accompanied the democracy icon to Nay Pyi Taw said the meeting lasted one hour. &lt;br

Ko Ko Kyi, who is described by colleagues as a “strategist,” said that the pro-democracy leader should take a wider leading role in the development of democracy and peace in Burma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Htay Kywe’s brother-in-law, Pyo Min Thein, who is also member of the 88 Generation Students group, told The Irrawaddy on Thursday that Htay Kywe said the meeting between Suu Kyi and Aung Kyi was a positive step. Htay Kywe is serving his sentence in Buthitaung Prison, Arakan State.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Even though the 88 Generation Students leaders have sacrificed a lot for the country, they are always optimistic. Therefore our party take their concerns seriously,” said Win Htain, one of Suu Kyi’s close aides at the National League for Democracy(NLD), in response to the 88 Generation Students leaders’ messages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 88 Generation Students group was formed by former student leaders who led the mass uprising against dictator Ne Win’s Burmese Socialist Programme Party in the summer of 1988, during which at least 3,000 people were killed by government security forces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Throughout 1988-1991, most of the student leaders were arrested and given long prison sentences. Min Ko Naing was arrested in 1989 and spent 15 years in prison. Ko Ko Gyi was arrested in 1991 and imprisoned and released in 2005.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After their release, the former student leaders formed the 88 Generation Students group, which became a prominent dissident movement while Suu Kyi was under house arrest. The group undertook various political activities until its leaders were once again arrested on August 21, 2007 for their involvement in a protest march against fuel price hikes and given matching 65-year sentences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The former student leaders reportedly take the same position—that they will not make an appeal to get individual sympathy from the government. &lt;br

Activities that devastate the environment and societies continue unabated. Today we are faced with a challenge that calls for a shift in our thinking, so that humanity stops threatening its life-support system. We are called to assist the Earth to heal her wounds and in the process heal our own – indeed, to embrace the whole creation in all its diversity, beauty and wonder. This will happen if we see the need to revive our sense of belonging to a larger family of life, with which we have shared our evolutionary process. In the course of history, there comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new level of consciousness, to reach a higher moral ground. A time when we have to shed our fear and give hope to each other. That time is now. - Wangari Matthai, Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;… the old Lakota was wise. He knew that man’s heart, away from nature, becomes hard; he knew that lack of respect for growing, living things soon led to lack of respect for humans too. So he kept his youth close to its softening influence. – Luther Standing Bear&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My religion is kindness. – the Dalai Lama&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Live as if you were to die tomorrow.

If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him ... the highest duty of the writer, the composer, the artist is to remain true to himself and to let the chips fall where they may. In serving his vision of the truth, the artist best serves his nation. And the nation which disdains the mission of art invites the fate of Robert Frost's hired man, the fate of having "nothing to look backward to with pride, and nothing to look forward to with hope". - President John F.

Students were massacred and Student’s Union Building was dynamited down together with the students inside. Since that day students became the RESISTENCE SYMBOL and used to spearhead the successive uprisings against the illegal Military Rulers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Burma army Chief of Staff General Ne Win and cohorts threaten the U Nu’s elected democratic government to hand over power and formed a Caretaker government from 1958 to 1960 for eighteen months. General Ne Win and cohorts had a good taste of power after 18 months of the Caretaker Government, and they regarded U Nu as a week leader and was not strong enough to govern the country. They openly told the Pyidaungsu Governments that the army had to fight vigorously and they are not happy to even protect and give security service to those corrupt political leaders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;General Ne Win took over the power second time in March of 1962. Military coups were quite popular in those days of early sixties in Asia, Africa and in Latin America. Now it is out of fashion and most of them reverted back to the civilian rule. Just after the Military coup of General Ne Win, he quelled the dissents and demonstrations with his army brutally. He even dynamited the Students Union in the Rangoon University while some student leaders were still inside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;General Ne Win’s first speech challenged or threatened the unarmed Burmese Citizens that he would respond knife with knife, spear with spear if any one dare to challenge him and his lap-dog army, in Burmese,” Dhar dhar chin_Lhan lhan chin shin mae”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his last farewell speech he warned the Burmese citizens that next time if HIS Army had to be called to calm the uprising there is no vocabulary in the BURMA ARMY’s guiding manuals to shoot up into the air for warning. Burma Army would shoot straight to the target, in other words Tatmadaw declared its “SHOOT TO KILL” policy even on unarmed civilians.General Ne Win took over in the early morning of March 2nd, 1962. There was an important announcement over the radio from the Burma Broadcasting Service. We heard marching songs being played and then the announcement came regarding the taking over of the country by the military and about the formation of the Revolutionary Council. There were 17 names mentioned as members of the Revolutionary Council. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rangoon university student protests started against the Military coup on 6 July 1962. On the 7th of July 1962 there were demonstrations against the Ne Win’s military government and the government retaliated with severe measures. Aung Gyi and Tin Pe were the most senior officers and Sein Lwin was the field commanding officer in the university region. No on exactly know who gave the orders to open fire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On July 7, over 130 stubborn or diehard or brave would be martyr students who were demonstrating in the student’s union building in the campus of Rangoon University were dynamited and brutally killed by the army.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The historic student’s union building was destroyed into pieces. The 7 July student’s massacre was merely a blood-stained on the Tatmadaw but they could not suppress the students’ spirit of going on fighting against the militarism. The arrest, torture and imprisonment could not crush the spirit of the fighting peacock or the revolutionary student protests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the Students’ Union building was dynamited with some of the students inside our heart sank and nearly broke. All the students, parents and the whole population felt very hurt up to the present time especially on this auspicious or rather a notorious day. The 7th July is the 9-11 for all the Burmese. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ne Win blamed Aung Gyi and Aung Gyi pointed back to Ne Win as a responsible leader. But the real butcher who pulled the trigger was SEIN LWIN. (During the 1967 Student Festival in Mandalay, there was a small fight between the students. One of the son of Butcher Sein Lwin boasted amongst his friends that to quell that student unrest was a minor thing for his father who had shoot and killed a lot of students and dynamited the student’s union building on 7th July. And the whole Mandalay knew that the Anglo-Burmese Primary School teacher from St. Peters School was teaching English daily to that illiterate North-West Division Commander.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No wonder there was a popular rallying slogan during 8888 because Ne Win put Sein Lwin as his successor Prime Minister after his resignation:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Sein Lwin Chauk Tan_Tasauk Kan.”,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Sein Lwin Chauk Tan_sauk yan loke myi”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“San ta pyi sae nga kyat_Sein Lwin khaung ko pyat”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Sein Lwin Phar Kyo_Hto’ Kyo” e.t.c.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ne Win was a drop out at Inter class for Bio and could not pursue his dreams to become a Medical Doctor. But he managed to snatch the wife of Dr Toke Gyi , Daw Khin May Than who was the daughter of famous Professor Dr Ba Than. Curiously both Ne Win and Dr Ba Than were notorious for womenisation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ne Win was notorious for never finishing any book except Adolph Hitler’s book, MEIN KAMPS. (Note this is not a satire or just tried to run down on Ne Win but the truth!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And he was the one to demolish the very famous “Burmese Research Association” just because one of the professors got drunk and touch his wife Daw Khin May Than during the association’s dinner. He was shot and killed on the spot and the precious Burma Research Association was disbanded since then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the General Ne Win, educated class or intellectuals are undecided, ignorant and corrupted class not to be trusted in their ‘Socialist’ revolution. Actually as a military dictator, he knew that he could not fool the educated class easily. The intelligent class always uses their heads (brains) and use to question and analyze each and every order. The dictators and especially Tatmadaw leaders never like that attitude. Subordinates must always obey the command given to them. They have no right to think whether it is right or wrong, just or not. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intellectuals have no place under Military rulers. If do not want to keep their mouth shut, they must be put into detention or must leave the country to avoid the dangerous consequences. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In civilized countries the scholar is always placed above the ‘man of war’ believing that&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“ Nations which trusted the gun perished by it earlier”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But in Myanmar under the Military rulers the opposite of the above rule is always correct.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Myanmar Military, power comes out from the barrel of the gun only. The might is always right for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The evil that men do lives after them…”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Julius Caesar III ii.75,.by William Shakespeare&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, all the perpetrators of 7th July Ne Win, Sein Lwin and ? Aung Gyi ? are no more on earth. But their evil of Massacring Students on this day would be remembered forever. Since that day students became the RESISTENCE SYMBOL and used to spearhead the successive uprisings against the illegal Military Rulers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 7th July is the 9-11 for all the Burmese.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The spirit of 7 July will last forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MAHA BANDULA&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-5895017476414890270?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/5895017476414890270/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2011/07/7th-july-memorial-in-burma.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/5895017476414890270'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/5895017476414890270'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2011/07/7th-july-memorial-in-burma.html' title='7th July Memorial in Burma'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-8508315065241453217</id><published>2011-07-06T16:10:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-06T16:10:15.128-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) will be posting Bo Gyoke Aung San's dictums</title><content type='html'>Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) will be posting Bo Gyoke Aung San's dictums&lt;br /&gt;BDC&lt;br /&gt;06 July 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In honour of the Bo Gyoke Aung San and Martyrs of Burma, Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) will be posting Bo Gyoke Aung San's dictums from today until 19 July 2011.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So then, these are the tasks before all of us.

समय बर्मा के लिए है" के लिए बर्मा पर कार्रवाई करना चाहते हैं. हालांकि हम अच्छी तरह जानते हैं कि बर्मा के मध्य तेल संसाधनों में समृद्ध पूर्व में स्थित नहीं है, लेकिन सही चीन के बगल में स्थित हैं, यह शर्मनाक बहाना खत्म करने के लिए बर्मा पर कार्रवाई देखा नहीं होना चाहिए. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;अधिक जानकारी के लिए संपर्क करें &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;यू Thein myo [यूनाइटेड किंगडम] &lt;br /&gt;फोन:

Activists claim the pension fund is in breach of its own guidelines for responsible investment. The allegations come just days after Norway hosted the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Land confiscation, forced labour and other abuses are happening in connection with several gas and oil pipeline projects in Burma, according to Naing Htoo of EarthRights International, which is today publishing a report detailing the alleged abuses being committed by the Burmese government. "There's every indication abuses connected to these projects will continue, and, in some cases, worsen," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A number of those companies in which the Norwegian fund has investments have previously been accused in relation to controversial projects in Burma which has been controlled by a military junta since 1962. Among them are Total Oil of France, in which the Norwegian fund has an investment of $2.6bn, and the US-based Chevron Corp, in which the fund has $900m invested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EarthRights International insists that widespread violations continue to be committed by the Burmese army in support of many oil and gas projects that earn the regime millions of dollars. The group says that troops providing security for the Yadana and Yetagun pipelines have carried out extra-judicial killings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Burmese regime has long demonstrated itself as an unsuitable business partner," said Steve Gumaer, of the Norway-based aid group Partners Relief and Development. "Business ventures conducted through official channels in Burma directly support the regime's abuse of the ethnic populations and pro-democracy citizens in Burma today."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He added: "It is said that villages in north-eastern Burma have benefited by this sort of 'economic engagement'. I have seen the devastating results; instead of schools, health and hygiene programmes, are the ashes of villages that have been burnt down. I have talked to women who were raped, men who were forced to serve as porters."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Norwegian fund has a total of $3.6bn invested in companies involved in these projects that transport offshore gas from the Andaman Sea. Total, Chevron and other companies have denied claims that their operations inside Burma encourage abuses such as forced labour and land seizure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The report also claims the Norwegian fund has investments in companies that are involved in projects in the Shwe gas fields, which have also been linked to abuses such as forced labour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Norwegian fund, established in 1990, is the second largest sovereign wealth fund in the world, with assets estimated at $512bn and investments in 8,000 companies. It is forecast to double in size by 2020. Because of previous allegations over unethical investments, the fund, controlled by the Norwegian central bank on behalf of the ministry of finance, is overseen by an ethical advisory council.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2007, the Norwegian authorities said they were withdrawing the fund's investments from Vedanta Resources, the British company that was seeking to mine bauxite on a mountain in eastern India many considered sacred .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2005, the council was asked to consider the fund's investment in Total and whether it breached guidelines. The council said it believed it likely that Total was aware of human rights violations on projects in Burma between 1995 and 1998, but this "did not provide a basis for exclusion from the fund, as it is only the risk for present or future violations of the guidelines which can prompt exclusion".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When allegations of forced labour were earlier levelled at Total in summer 2009, the company issued a statement saying, "local inhabitants around the Yadana pipeline say they are happy to have us there; they are, above all, grateful that there is no forced labour around our pipeline".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night, Norway's foreign ministry said it had not been made aware of EarthRights International's report. "The Norwegian government is worried about the situation for human rights in Burma," a spokesman said. The fund,he added, was "a financial investor with investments in more than 8,000 companies. It is therefore difficult for the Ministry to make comments related to a specific company in the fund's portfolio."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-6202250314506702597?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/6202250314506702597/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/12/norway-accused-of-funding-abuse-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/6202250314506702597'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/6202250314506702597'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/12/norway-accused-of-funding-abuse-in.html' title='Norway accused of funding abuse in Burma'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-8334029356863900161</id><published>2010-12-12T07:41:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-12T07:41:58.036-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Myanmar Music Video: Hay Man Oo Mar Shock Shi Tae</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Daw Aung San Suu Kyi said that she would like to communicate with people around the world.

type='text'>国际社会欢迎昂山素季获释</title><content type='html'>2010-11-15英国首相和前首相都对诺贝尔和平奖得主昂山素季的获释感到高兴。流亡英国的缅甸民主人士除了表达对昂山素季终于获释无比欢欣外，在接受记者访问时，还希望和平推动中国民主的诺贝尔奖得主刘晓波也能获得释放。自由亚洲电台特约记者张安安发自英国伦敦的报道&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;在过去21年被缅甸军政府软禁超过15年 的诺贝尔和平奖得主昂山素季，她的自由以及缅甸的民主发展一直备受国际关注。在缅甸军政府上周六终于表态让昂山素季自由行动之后，英国各政党都一致欢迎昂 山素季终于获得自由。英国首相卡梅伦表示，昂山素季一直激励着所有深信言论自由、民主和人权的人们。卡梅伦表示关押昂山素季只是在歪曲真相，设计消灭代表 缅甸人民的声音。他说自由是昂山素季的权利，缅甸军政权必须维持。此外英国前首相布朗也指出，他计划在近期的亚洲访问中和昂山素季会面，他希望会面能够顺 利。布朗表示，他已经在数周前就提出和昂山素季会面的要求，现在他希望缅甸军政权让这项会面能顺利。布朗认为，昂山素季可以和来自其他国家的人士会面非常重要的。布朗一直是英国缅甸民主运动的主要支持者。&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;流亡英国的缅甸民主运动组织，“关切缅甸民主“（Burma Democratic Concern）非政府组织负责人苗信（Myo Thein）星期一在接受记者访问时，对于缅甸民主运动的领导昂山素季获得释放感到非常的高兴。他表示，昂山素季是缅甸真正的民选领导，她赢得了民主大选，应该是缅甸的总理。全缅甸的百姓都支持她，也欢迎她获得自由并呼吁民主团结和对话的讯息。苗信也指出今年获得诺贝尔和平奖的中国异议人士刘晓波目前也因为要求和平、人权而遭到关押。他说：“缅甸深信和平民主的人们同样也希望看到中国的推动民主改革的刘晓波能获得释放，因为相信民主的人们同样希望中国也走向民主发展。”&lt;br

type='text'>Asian press cautiously optimistic on Burma changes</title><content type='html'>Asian regional newspapers are cautiously welcoming Burma's decision to release democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, with many taking the line that it is a small step in the right direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some voices in the Indian and Chinese press defend the policy of non-interference in Burma's affairs and the pursuit of trade as the best channels to encourage Burma to open up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many commentators are guarded in their optimism about Ms Suu Kyi's ability to bring about change in Burma, saying the challenge of uniting pro-democracy opposition forces will be enormous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AN TI IN CHINA'S DONGFANG ZAOBAO&lt;br /&gt;No one can predict whether Suu Kyi will be under house arrest again in future, but if the world keeps using trade and assistance to encourage the country to open up, it might enable this country to finally embark on the road of reform and opening up... Ms Aung San Suu Kyi and the Burmese people will find a new path together with the authorities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDITORIAL IN INDIA'S THE PIONEER&lt;br /&gt;Much as some may find the junta to be needlessly obstinate and its "persecution" of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi obnoxious, it must be conceded that Burma's rulers were firm in deciding what was in the best interest of their nation. Just as bringing about regime change cannot be the moral obligation of any one country, interference in the domestic affairs of a nation must not be seen as a presumed right by anybody.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDITORIAL IN THE TIMES OF INDIA&lt;br /&gt;Suu Kyi's release, her public offer to talk to the government and the signs she has shown of softening on the sanctions - she had supported them for a number of years - provide an opportunity to pursue democratic reform while ending Myanmar's [Burma's] diplomatic isolation and economic stagnation. New Delhi must play its part in this by encouraging and facilitating talks between Suu Kyi and the government. It would be unrealistic to expect New Delhi to align with the West against the government as it has been exhorted to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KARAN THAPAR IN INDIA'S HINDUSTAN TIMES&lt;br /&gt;The truth is there's a small body of Indians who feel dismayed, even betrayed, by the way our governments have turned their back on Aung San Suu Kyi and the struggle for democracy in Burma... But, sadly, our pleas have fallen on deaf ears. The Congress and the BJP [main government and opposition political parties, respectively] have remained impervious to our exhortations. Nothing has changed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDITORIAL IN THAILAND'S THE NATION&lt;br /&gt;It is pivotal that Suu Kyi and her opposition colleagues must map out long-term strategies to counter the regime's move. The international community will watch her closely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDITORIAL IN THAILAND'S BANGKOK POST&lt;br /&gt;The junta's release of Aung San Suu Kyi is simply to curry favour… it must be held accountable for tough questions such as stealing last week's election and for getting into the nuclear arms business with North Korea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDITORIAL IN MALAYSIA'S NEW STRAITS TIMES&lt;br /&gt;The generals have both the power to kill democracy and the opportunity to let it live. One can only hope that as the old generals fade away the new guard will set in motion steps to dismantle military rule, restore it to the civilians and return to the barracks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDITORIAL IN SINGAPORE'S THE STRAITS TIMES&lt;br /&gt;The election introduced not a seismic shift, but a degree of structural change... [Suu Kyi's] challenges now include unifying pro-democracy opposition parties and factions and possibly mustering a mass movement as a moral force for democracy, outside the political party system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDITORIAL IN THE AUSTRALIAN&lt;br /&gt;While the regime is odious, Burma is stuck with it and the West should maintain a dialogue with the dictators, if only to discourage them from locking up Ms Suu Ki again. Despite being a national hero, she lacks the political resources to challenge the regime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDITORIAL IN INDONESIA'S KOMPAS&lt;br /&gt;Suu Kyi has still a long way to go before being able to lead a democratic Burma. In this case, Burma is not alone. Indonesia, South Africa and South Korea also had to wait for decades before having democracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDITORIAL IN BANGLADESH'S DAILY STAR&lt;br /&gt;For the junta, it is important that it follow up on the democracy leader's release with moves to engage with her on political change in Myanmar. If it believes Aung San Suu Kyi has now been rendered ineffective, it will be making a mistake. The spirited manner in which her freedom was welcomed in global capitals is a patent demonstration of how indispensable she remains to the future of Myanmar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BBC Monitoring selects and translates news from radio, television, press, news agencies and the internet from 150 countries in more than 70 languages. It is based in Caversham, UK, and has several bureaux abroad.&lt;br /&gt;http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-11765160&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-700647322231289590?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/700647322231289590/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/11/asian-press-cautiously-optimistic-on.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/700647322231289590'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/700647322231289590'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/11/asian-press-cautiously-optimistic-on.html' title='Asian press cautiously optimistic on Burma changes'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-1390542447721384076</id><published>2010-11-08T11:37:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-08T11:37:56.016-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Marching on London</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height='300' width='400'&gt; &lt;param value='offsite=true&amp;amp;lang=en-us&amp;amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fbdcburma%2Fshow%2F&amp;amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fbdcburma%2F&amp;amp;user_id=26092418@N05&amp;amp;jump_to=' name='flashvars'/&gt; &lt;param value='http://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=71649' name='movie'/&gt; &lt;param value='true' name='allowFullScreen'/&gt;&lt;embed height='300' width='400' flashvars='offsite=true&amp;amp;lang=en-us&amp;amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fbdcburma%2Fshow%2F&amp;amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fbdcburma%2F&amp;amp;user_id=26092418@N05&amp;amp;jump_to=' allowFullScreen='true' src='http://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=71649' type='application/x-shockwave-flash'/&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-1390542447721384076?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/1390542447721384076/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/11/marching-on-london.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/1390542447721384076'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/1390542447721384076'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/11/marching-on-london.html' title='Marching on London'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-4914801364180187327</id><published>2010-11-04T14:49:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-11-04T14:49:11.286-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Press Release: ‘Binning the Election’</title><content type='html'>Press Release: ‘Binning the Election’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;05 Nov 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Date: Friday 5 November 2010, 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Venue: Richmond Terrace, White Hall, LONDON SW1 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Democratic Party for a New Society (DPNS – UK) in cooperation with the Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) holds a boycott 2010 Elections in Burma campaign under the banner ‘Binning the 2010 Elections’. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The campaign travels today outside the Prime Minister’s Office at Downing Street London, welcoming the UK government’s decision not to recognise the upcoming fake election and highlighting the Burmese people's aspiration for a real parliamentary democracy like the Westminster democracy. It also demonstrates a real consensus against the continuing "bonfire of oppression" in the country. It urges the UK government to continue to pressure the regime. It requests the UK government to take a lead in EU and UN in sending a stern message to the regime in Burma. It requests the Prime Minister David Cameron to discuss about Burma's situation with the China's President Hu Jintao during his meeting with him next week. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The launch of a series of weekly ‘Binning the 2010 Elections’ campaign began in a form of protest outside the Burmese Embassy in London on 8 October with each participant binning the voting paper titled ‘2010 Elections’ in the litter bin in silence or with a short speech - to symbolise their disapproval of the elections on 7 November. It will represent the opinion of thousands of Burmese people inside the country who will boycott the election. The ‘Binning 2010 Election’ travelled outside the Department for International Development (DFID) and European Union (EU) and European Commission (EC) office to highlight concerns of the Myanmar Egress, an entity which promotes the unfair election and the rubber stamp 2008 constitution. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Background: 7 November will see Burma having its first 'general elections' in 20 years. Unfortunately, this will be a sham election designed to legitimise the current military rulers. The consequence of this election for Burma will be the entrenchment of the ruling military elite that has presided over widespread human rights abuses, including arbitrary detentions, enforced disappearances, rape and torture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more info:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ko Myo Thein: 07877882386&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ko Aung: 07762094562&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zin Khine: 07904393457&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-4914801364180187327?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/4914801364180187327/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/11/press-release-binning-election.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/4914801364180187327'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/4914801364180187327'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/11/press-release-binning-election.html' title='Press Release: ‘Binning the Election’'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-9096276437811566279</id><published>2010-11-04T03:52:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-11-04T03:52:58.127-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Activists to attempt elections uprising</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;An activist network will attempt to spark a mass uprising against military rule in Burma on Sunday, the day of the country’s first elections in two decades, DVB has learned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moethee Zun, one of the leaders of the 1988 student uprising which was brutally put down by the army, said the People Action Committee (PAC) believed it could succeed where the ‘88 demonstrators failed. “We have no guns or bullets… but we have enough determination to end the dictatorship and restore democracy,” said Moethee Zun, one of the PAC’s seven leading members.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday’s elections will not be free and free and will merely perpetuate the military regime’s rule, said the long-time activist and former deputy chairman of the influential All Burma Students’ Democratic Front (ABSDF). “Major parties such as the National League for Democracy and ethnic ceasefire groups have been purged from the political process… they are being besmirched by the regime’s propaganda machine.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Only the USDP [Union Solidarity and Development Party] is campaigning freely, using threats, bribes and violence,” he said. He accused the military of blocking the activities of democratic parties, preventing them from meeting in public and denying them the freedom to promote their policies in the media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The PAC has a central committee of around 50 members, including ‘88 activists, MPs elected in the 1990 elections and ethnic leaders inside the country, said Moethee Zun. Each committee member has a network of activists within Burma ready to disrupt the polls, he said. The network would distribute leaflets and posters, make speeches, shout slogans, and attempt to start marches in crowded areas, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The PAC has already started its activities. On Wednesday its members gave out leaflets in the Yuzana Plaza shopping mall. Tomorrow activists will campaign in 20 townships in Upper Burma, giving out t-shirts, urging the public not to support the election and demanding the release of political prisoners including Aung San Suu Kyi. Asked whether Suu Kyi would join the government if the uprising succeeded, Moethee Zun said his group had not held discussions with her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But political analyst Aung Naing Oo, himself a former member of the ABSDF, was sceptical the group would succeed in its goals. “Democracy is a process…. Even if the opposition groups are able to kick out the military, democracy won’t come to Burma overnight,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, the PAC was putting lives at risk by inviting a violent crackdown by the army, he said. “I have argued with opposition groups, especially people like Moethee Zun… that he is sending people to their deaths… They [the military] didn’t even spare the country’s most revered institution, the monks,” he said, referring to the 2007 Saffron Revolution, when the military brutally suppressed a mass uprising by Burma’s Buddhist clergy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asked if the PAC risked provoking violence in Burma, Moethee Zun’s reply was simple. “We are expecting that response,” he said. “We have no choice.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: http://www.dvb.no/elections/activists-to-attempt-elections-uprising/12577&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-9096276437811566279?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/9096276437811566279/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/11/activists-to-attempt-elections-uprising.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/9096276437811566279'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/9096276437811566279'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/11/activists-to-attempt-elections-uprising.html' title='Activists to attempt elections uprising'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-5529266515843738850</id><published>2010-10-31T21:16:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-31T21:16:58.964-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) warmly welcomes the legitimate leaders' decision calling for to convene “Second Pin-Lon Conference” (01 Nov 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) warmly welcomes the legitimate leaders’ Ka-Lay Decision on 24 October 2010 calling for to convene “Second Pin-Lon Conference”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) wholeheartedly supports legitimate leaders’ pledge to keep on working with the right collective leadership to abolish dictatorship system, to restore democracy and human rights, and to take place national reconciliation in Burma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) wholeheartedly agrees with the legitimate leaders’ announcement saying that the results coming out from 2010 election which will be held in accord with 2008 constitution which legitimize military rule will not pave the way for the national reconciliation and restoring democracy and human rights in Burma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) wholeheartedly supports legitimate leaders’ pledge to keep on working under the leadership of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi in order to take place genuine dialogue leading towards national reconciliation in Burma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) wholeheartedly supports legitimate leaders’ declaration wishing to convene the “Second Pin-Lon Conference” in order to build the Genuine Federal Union of Burma, which will be neither separation nor one union, based on equality and democracy.

type='text'>Myanmar's Sham Election</title><content type='html'>We are now a month away from the first elections in Burma in 23 years. That should give us cause to celebrate. Sadly, that is wishful thinking. Burma’s 55 million people continue to suffer brutal oppression. Abject, needless poverty is, for most, a daily reality. These elections will be little more than a sham to perpetuate military rule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So when Asian and European leaders meet on Monday in Brussels, the U.K. will be calling for us to speak with one voice against the gross mistreatment of the Burmese people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That means being unequivocal: These elections will be neither free nor fair. Opponents of the ruling party lack resources and are systematically targeted by the current regime. Thousands of political prisoners remain incarcerated. Various ethnic parties have been refused the right to participate. Last month the military dissolved the National League for Democracy — its biggest perceived threat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The situation is little better for those parties which are being allowed to participate. The regime they oppose has passed deeply unfair election laws and runs the election commission. In Burma all media is heavily censored by the state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the election result is a foregone conclusion. Under the constitution a quarter of seats are already reserved for the military. In half of the remaining seats parties loyal to the regime will run uncontested, their opponents unable to field a candidate. The regime is therefore guaranteed a substantial majority — before a single vote is even cast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The consequence for Burma is the return to power of a ruling elite that has presided over widespread human rights abuses, including arbitrary detentions, enforced disappearances, rape and torture. That same regime has been guilty of profound economic mismanagement and corruption. While they routinely blame sanctions for weak development, the truth is that they have squandered Burma’s natural resources and export opportunities. The country’s infant mortality rate is now amongst the highest in Asia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These failings are undeniable. Yet some are tempted to overlook the deep flaws in the approaching election. Clearly, it would be more convenient for the international community to quietly agree that any election is better than no election. Burma would recede in the mind, allowing us to “move on.” That is attractive for nations that insist we should not interfere in one anothers’ affairs. And the West could not be accused, as it sometimes is, of attempting to recreate the world in its own image.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are not reasons to ignore the truth. The European Union has already made it clear that sanctions — targeted at the regime and its sources of revenue — will not be lifted until genuine progress is made on the ground. We must now work with our Asian partners, using our collective clout, to push for that progress. Members of the Asia-Europe Meeting group, or ASEM, account for nearly 60 percent of the global population — and the same proportion of global trade. Burma’s military regime should know that, until it satisfies international demands, it will meet the same disapproval whether it looks East or West.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only is that our shared moral duty, but it is in our strategic self-interest too. Without a process of national reconciliation in Burma, the risk of instability is real. Ethnic cease-fires look increasingly fragile. A return to conflict would have devastating humanitarian consequences, undermining regional security and leading to further refugee flows into neighboring countries and beyond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we must continue to exert pressure on the regime to engage all opposition and ethnic groups in a meaningful dialogue. The objective must be a fair settlement that gives ethnic groups a political voice and protects their minority rights. All prisoners of conscience — including the opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi — must be released without delay. Reconciliation must be geared toward the social and economic development that has long evaded the Burmese state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week is an opportunity for Asian and European nations to reaffirm that message. Military men must know that swapping their uniforms for suits will not change the demands of the international community. We will not be pacified by a democratic facade. Our expectations will not drop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nick Clegg is deputy prime minister of Britain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

September 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) today releases the Burmese video trailer, "Ar-Yone-Oo-Mar SHOCK Shi-Tae" (Sunrise Shock).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are humbled to present the preview of our work, "Ar-Yone-Oo-Mar SHOCK Shi-Tae" (Sunrise Shock) video which is the collective efforts of the Burma democratic activists from UK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hope that this piece could be one of the corner stones when we could write the true Burma history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will share the video with all the democratic activists and organizations around the world as well as people inside Burma so that we can have the opportunity to see two different perspectives compare with junta's propaganda video, Ar-Yone-Oo-Mar-Phu-Tae-Kyar, with full of wrong and misleading information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are well aware of the challenges ahead trying to distribute our video inside Burma but we will use the modern internet technology believing that it could help us promoting the good news inside Burma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please see the link at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biRw3h...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information please contact

participation working for democratisation of Burma. Media play important role to restore democracy in Burma so that Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) is producing the video, "Ar-Yone-Oo-Mar SHOCK Shi-Tae", to share with all the people inside Burma so that they can have the opportunity to see two different perspectives compare with junta's propaganda video, Ar-Yone-Oo-Mar-Phu-Tae-Kyar which is full of wrong information". &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the video, there will be the information regarding why we should boycott junta's planned sham election which will be held on 7 November 2010. Addition, there will be more information about junta's unilaterally adopted sham constitution and why we must collectively lobby international governments including UNSC to to declare military entrenching constitution as NULL &amp;amp; VOID. This is part of the answer for Burma crisis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more information please contact Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) http://www.bdcburma.org&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height='385' width='480'&gt;&lt;param value='http://www.youtube.com/v/biRw3hIyyFE?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_GB' name='movie'/&gt;&lt;param value='true' name='allowFullScreen'/&gt;&lt;param value='always' name='allowscriptaccess'/&gt;&lt;embed height='385' width='480' allowfullscreen='true' allowscriptaccess='always' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://www.youtube.com/v/biRw3hIyyFE?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_GB'/&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height='385' width='480'&gt;&lt;param value='http://www.youtube.com/v/fnFysGdCzTY?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_GB' name='movie'/&gt;&lt;param value='true' name='allowFullScreen'/&gt;&lt;param value='always' name='allowscriptaccess'/&gt;&lt;embed height='385' width='480' allowfullscreen='true' allowscriptaccess='always' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://www.youtube.com/v/fnFysGdCzTY?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_GB'/&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-4987349421495378526?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/4987349421495378526/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/09/burmese-video-love-scene-shock-shi-tae.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/4987349421495378526'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/4987349421495378526'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/09/burmese-video-love-scene-shock-shi-tae.html' title='Burmese Video Love Scene: &amp;quot;Ar-Yone-Oo-Mar SHOCK Shi-Tae&amp;quot;'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-6153064377526956735</id><published>2010-09-06T01:54:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-06T01:54:16.320-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Burmese FM to Attend US-Asean Summit</title><content type='html'>Burma's Foreign Minister Nyan Win will attend the US-Asean summit convened by President Obama later this month in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The White House on Friday announced that Obama will host a meeting with leaders of the Association of South East Asian Nations (Asean). Obama has invited the leaders of the 10 Asean member states as well the Asean secretary-general to join him for the second ever US-Asean leaders' meeting, it said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Burmese Foreign Minister Nyan Win attends the East Asia Summit Foreign Ministers Informal Consultations in Hanoi in July. (Photo: Reuters)&lt;br /&gt;Confirming that the top Burmese leader will not be attending the meeting, a senior US official said that no direct invitation was sent to Burma.&lt;br /&gt;“The invitation went to the Asean chair [Vietnam], so we did not address an invitation to Burma directly,” the official told The Irrawaddy. “The Burmese have decided to send their foreign minister, Nyan Win.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The White House said, at the first such meeting, held in Singapore in November 2009, Obama and the Asean leaders pledged to deepen cooperation in a number of areas of common concern, including trade and investment, regional security, disaster management, food and energy security, and climate change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The President looks forward to working with the leaders to assess the progress on these issues, to identify future efforts to strengthen US-Asean relations, and discuss multilateral approaches for greater regional cooperation,” the White House said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is understood that Obama will discuss the upcoming election in Burma, which the US has said lacks credibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of late, the Obama administration has shown signs of adopting a stronger position against Burma; given that a year ago it had adopted a new policy of simultaneous engagement with and economic sanctions on Burma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The US had two rounds of talks with the military junta, however top US officials, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, expressed frustration over the response of the junta toward a credible and transparent election and the release of all political prisoners, including Aung San Suu Kyi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.irrawaddy.org/article.php?art_id=19380&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-6153064377526956735?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/6153064377526956735/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/09/burmese-fm-to-attend-us-asean-summit.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/6153064377526956735'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/6153064377526956735'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/09/burmese-fm-to-attend-us-asean-summit.html' title='Burmese FM to Attend US-Asean Summit'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-6480348605075270946</id><published>2010-09-02T13:05:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-02T13:05:05.481-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Myo Thein on BBC Burmese 70th Anniversary</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height='385' width='640'&gt;&lt;param value='http://www.youtube.com/v/3Ty7rOu6PQo?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_GB' name='movie'/&gt;&lt;param value='true' name='allowFullScreen'/&gt;&lt;param value='always' name='allowscriptaccess'/&gt;&lt;embed height='385' width='640' allowfullscreen='true' allowscriptaccess='always' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://www.youtube.com/v/3Ty7rOu6PQo?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_GB'/&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-6480348605075270946?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/6480348605075270946/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/09/myo-thein-on-bbc-burmese-70th.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/6480348605075270946'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/6480348605075270946'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/09/myo-thein-on-bbc-burmese-70th.html' title='Myo Thein on BBC Burmese 70th Anniversary'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-3398960474646074684</id><published>2010-09-02T11:47:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-02T11:47:16.620-07:00</updated><title type='text'>"Lifeline service": BBC Burmese marks 70th anniversary</title><content type='html'>"Lifeline service": BBC Burmese marks 70th anniversary&lt;br /&gt;By Bethan Jinkinson&lt;br /&gt;BBC News&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Burma's first post-Independence Prime Minister U Nu appeared on the BBC Burmese service in 1947&lt;br /&gt;As the BBC Burmese service broadcast a programme marking its 70th anniversary, Sandhobasa, a monk, called in to say that he had been listening for more than two decades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The broadcasts enriched his knowledge, he said, and he had become attached to them. He could, he said, name the day when every presenter joined or left the BBC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Founded in 1940, the service has covered independence, uprisings and long years of military rule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Small teams based in Bangkok and London's Bush House broadcast to an estimated 22.9% of Burma's adult population, and in times of national crisis these figures soar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The BBC plays a massive role in bringing accurate, impartial information to the people of Burma," says Soe Win Than, one of the editors at the service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"People inside Burma cannot get free information.

"Most news is controlled by the government."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We need free information about what is happening inside and outside the country and in the world today.

They also have a Burmese language website, and receive many emails a day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They have just launched a newsletter aimed at Burmese migrants on the Thai-Burma border.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not surprisingly BBC journalists enjoy a huge following in Burma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Every journalist in Burma wants to work for the BBC" says producer Moe Myint, one of the younger members of the team. "Nobody can compete in terms of audience or reputation."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But for those who work for the BBC, there is a personal cost. Moe Myint says that whenever he returns to Burma he is followed by the authorities "everywhere I go".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several BBC Burmese journalists have experienced difficult circumstances due to the political situation in Burma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nita May spent three years in the notorious Insein prison, where she gave birth to a son.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another member of staff took part in the student uprising in 1988 and had to escape through the jungles on the Thai-Burma border.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now as journalists in London and Bangkok, they provide an essential link to the outside world for a country starved of independent news.&lt;br /&gt;Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-11164597&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-3398960474646074684?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/3398960474646074684/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/09/service-bbc-burmese-marks-70th.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/3398960474646074684'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/3398960474646074684'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/09/service-bbc-burmese-marks-70th.html' title='&amp;quot;Lifeline service&amp;quot;: BBC Burmese marks 70th anniversary'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-5194975829693099368</id><published>2010-08-31T13:34:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-31T13:34:11.651-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Flood hits in Bago</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;The floods hit Bago starting from 29/08/2010 and the water is still rising.

Meanwhile, the main Kachin militia are gearing up for war, a soldier told Mizzima. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women soldiers of the Kachin Independence Army parade in the ethnic group’s Sino-Burmese border stronghold of Laiza. The militia is gearing up for war with the Burmese Army as a junta-imposed deadline for it to disarm approaches next Wednesday, a KIA source said on Friday, August 27, 2010. Photo: Mizzima&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The junta deadline for the Kachin Independence Organisation (KIO) to reply to its order for the group’s estimated 20,000 troops to disarm is September 1. The congress opened today in the Kachin stronghold of Laiza, a town near the Chinese border in Burma’s far north, and will end tomorrow (Saturday).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 140 delegates from 18 districts who attended the congress all passed on their views that the KIO should retain its arms, one of the participants aid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The congress will continue tomorrow as we haven’t made a final decision. The aim of today’s meeting was just to collect the opinions from the delegates. From my point of view, we shouldn’t hand over our guns to the junta,” the KIO spokesman said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Delegates from the KIO’s armed wing, the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), were absent because they were preparing for war, a KIA soldier told Mizzima. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The deadline was delivered on Sunday at a meeting between the junta’s main negotiator with ethnic armed groups, Military Affairs Security chief Lieutenant General Ye Myint, and KIO delegates, at the Burmese Army’s Northern Command headquarters in Myitkyina, the state capital. He told the KIO that if the KIA failed to surrender its arms in the time allotted, the ceasefire would end. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ye Myint went on to meet Zone Teet Yame from the junta’s Border Guard Force (BGF) and Lasang Aung Was from the people’s militia and told them to arrest former KIO staff from the beginning of next month, an officer from the militia, who attended the meeting, said on condition of anonymity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The KIO had said it would neither contest nor disturb the forthcoming elections on November 7. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It held a meeting with Kachin leaders and Christian leaders to gain their input from August 14 to 16, views that will be taken into account while reaching the final decision at this weekend’s congress. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the last month, Ye Myint has been touring the country, pressuring armed ethnic ceasefire groups to bring themselves under junta command within the Burmese Army’s BGF and imposed the same September 1 (next Wednesday) deadline on the New Mon State Party (NMSP).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last Friday he told United Wa State Army leaders in Tangyang that the junta would send the army into four townships in Wa-controlled territory the same day as security for electoral commissioners. The Wa leaders said they would defy the move.&lt;br /&gt;http://www.mizzima.com/news/inside-burma/4299-kachin-majority-rejects-regimes-order-to-disarm.html&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-4243125762107464914?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/4243125762107464914/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/08/kachin-majority-rejects-regimes-order.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/4243125762107464914'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/4243125762107464914'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/08/kachin-majority-rejects-regimes-order.html' title='Kachin majority rejects regime’s order to disarm'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-3314721766052063188</id><published>2010-08-28T11:37:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-28T11:37:10.624-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Burma's ailing dictator resigns military post</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;Burma's reclusive and ailing dictator, Than Shwe, has resigned his military post, exiled Burmese media have reported, paving the way for him to become president in Burma's government after the elections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shwe, the despot who has brutally ruled south-east Asia's poorest country as commander-in-chief of the armed forces since 1992, yesterday handed control of the army to his adjutant general. However, the 77-year-old will remain head of the Burmese government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than a dozen other senior military officers also resigned, in an ominous sign for the country's forthcoming elections. Inside Burma, Shwe's resignation of his military role is being seen as a significant step towards ensuring he and his military cadres remain in charge after 7 November's national elections, the first to be held in Burma for two decades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I think this means only one thing – he wants to be president," a source inside Burma told the Guardian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The country's new constitution says the presidency can only be held by a civilian, but it does insist the president and vice-president "shall be well acquainted with the affairs of the Union, such as … the military".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The junta's second-in-command, Maung Aye, also resigned, as did the regime's numbers three and four. It is understood they will stand as candidates for the junta's largest proxy party, the Union Solidarity and Development party (USDP), in constituencies in the capital, Naypyidaw.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An unnamed military official said 15 senior army officials had resigned their posts, but did not confirm that the junta's leader was among them. But a second source told agencies the resignations went right to the top: "All top leaders have given up their military positions."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the second major reshuffle since April, when 27 senior military figures, including the prime minister, Thein Sein, resigned to lead the USDP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Burma's last elections, in 1990, were won overwhelmingly by the main opposition party, the National League for Democracy, led by Aung San Suu Kyi. But the junta refused to recognise the result and Aung San Suu Kyi has spent most of the past two decades in detention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her party is boycotting the poll after she was excluded from participating by new election laws which forbid people in custody from running for office. She is due to be released less than a week after the 7 November election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Supporters of the polls say any move towards democracy, however flawed, is an improvement on the current military rule. Thirty-seven non-regime parties have registered for the elections, but few have a national presence and none have the money or influence of the pro-regime party and its proxies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But critics of Burma's "road map to democracy", including Britain, the US and the UN, have dismissed the election as a sham, saying the poll will only entrench and formalise military rule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We don't regard the forthcoming elections as being a legitimate expression of public opinion," Jeremy Browne, a Foreign Office minister, said in Bangkok last month. "We continue to have a very strong view the situation in Burma is unacceptable."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/aug/27/burma-dictator-resigns-military-post&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-3314721766052063188?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/3314721766052063188/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/08/burma-ailing-dictator-resigns-military.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/3314721766052063188'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/3314721766052063188'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/08/burma-ailing-dictator-resigns-military.html' title='Burma&amp;#39;s ailing dictator resigns military post'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-8762930284817130306</id><published>2010-08-27T06:39:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-27T06:39:54.284-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Suu Kyi Urges Supporters to Monitor Election Closely</title><content type='html'>In a message transmitted by her lawyer, Burma's detained pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has said that although her National League for Democracy (NLD) is boycotting the upcoming election NLD members should monitor it closely and watch for voting irregularities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nyan Win, who was allowed to meet Suu Kyi on Tuesday, said: “Daw Suu said we cannot ignore the election even though we boycott it. She said all must keep a watch on the election process.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During a press conference on Wednesday, he quoted her as saying that the future civilian government would be incapable of reining in the role of the president of the parliament, who will hold broad-ranging powers under the junta-designed 2008 Constitution. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nyan Win said that Suu Kyi said the Nov. 7 choice of an election date showed disrespect to the people, and she also denounced state-run newspapers for making threats against the people regarding election activities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suu Kyi, whose current detention sentence is due to expire a week after the election on Nov. 7, said all Burmese people, including NLD members, are responsible for a free and fair election. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suu Kyi's meeting with her lawyer followed last week's official NLD announcement of an election boycott. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suu Kyi has said the Burmese election is unlikely to be free and fair because political parties will not have enough time to campaign. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nyan Win said he discussed with the Noble Peace Laureate the latest election developments. According to Nyan Win, Suu Kyi said that people should not vote in the upcoming election if they have no party to support in the absence of her National League for Democracy (NLD) party. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This is Daw Suu's answer to the debates she heard on the radio about what people should do without the NLD in this election,” said Suu Kyi's lawyer, Nyan Win, who met with the detained pro-democracy leader on Tuesday. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile NLD members led by veteran official Win Tin recently toured Burma reminding people of their legal right to avoid voting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Burma's largest opposition party, the NLD won a landslide victory in the 1990 election but the military regime never acknowledged the result. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although NLD members opposed to a boycott formed an opposition party, the National Democratic Force,to contest the November election, no pro-democracy party has emerged strong enough to compete with the junta's own proxy party, the Union Solidarity and Development Party.&lt;br /&gt;Source: http://www.irrawaddy.org/article.php?art_id=19296&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-8762930284817130306?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/8762930284817130306/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/08/suu-kyi-urges-supporters-to-monitor.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/8762930284817130306'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/8762930284817130306'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/08/suu-kyi-urges-supporters-to-monitor.html' title='Suu Kyi Urges Supporters to Monitor Election Closely'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-6890536050257986100</id><published>2010-08-24T15:29:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-24T15:29:19.772-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Myanmar's Suu Kyi calls for close watch on election: lawyer</title><content type='html'>YANGON (AFP) – Detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi wants the Myanmar people to keep a close watch on upcoming elections and speak out if the vote is not free and fair, her lawyer said Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;"Our face should not be turned away from the election although the NLD... decided not to take part," Nyan Win, who is also the long-time spokesman of Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD), quoted the Nobel Peace laureate as saying during talks at her home.&lt;br /&gt;"For it to become a fair election, people also have a duty, not just the government.&lt;br /&gt;"People have to speak out if the process is not in accordance with the election law or if it is not balanced. People have to reveal it. The NLD has to reveal it," Suu Kyi was quoted as saying.&lt;br /&gt;"She's very glad that people are interested in the political process. But she said the political process is not only the 2010 election. It's just a part of it," Nyan Win said.&lt;br /&gt;"She said everyone should take interest in the election. NLD members should not turn their face from the election process just because they will not take part."&lt;br /&gt;Suu Kyi has spent most of the past 20 years in detention, and as a serving prisoner is barred from standing in the November 7 election, which will be the military-ruled country's first in 20 years.&lt;br /&gt;The NLD won a landslide victory in 1990 but the junta never allowed it to take office.&lt;br /&gt;The party is boycotting the upcoming vote, saying the rules are unfair. As a result, it was forcibly disbanded by the ruling generals.&lt;br /&gt;So far 42 political parties have been given permission to stand in the polls, which have been widely condemned by activists and the West as a charade aimed at putting a civilian face on military rule.&lt;br /&gt;Among them is the National Democracy Force (NDF), formed by former NLD members whose decision to participate in the vote put them at odds with Suu Kyi, who was in favour of a boycott.&lt;br /&gt;"The NLD cannot support any party. If it supports one, it will become an enemy to another," Nyan Win quoted Suu Kyi as saying. "So she said to let them do their work."&lt;br /&gt;Nyan Win said that Suu Kyi had told him more of her opinions on the election and Myanmar's political situation, and he would give details on Wednesday after discussing them with other senior NLD members.&lt;br /&gt;Source: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100824/wl_afp/myanmarvotesuukyi_20100824171247&lt;div

Concern (BDC) warmly welcomes Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led National League for Democracy (NLD)’s decision to boycott junta’s planned sham 2010 election.&lt;br /&gt;This is the timely decision taken by NLD to drive Burmese people to the right direction since junta’s planned sham 2010 election is purely lying international community.&lt;br /&gt;There are three main specific reasons why NLD decisions are rights;&lt;br /&gt;1.	Junta’s planned sham 2010 election is designed to nullify 1990 election result in which Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led NLD won landslide victory. &lt;br /&gt;2.	Junta’s planned sham 2010 election will be held in accord with 2008 sham constitution which is designed to legitimise military rule in Burma. &lt;br /&gt;3.	Junta is setting up everything to win its own proxy party. &lt;br /&gt;International governments must help us realising Daw Aung San Suu Kyi  led NLD’s calls for boycotting junta’s planned sham 2010 election in Burma. If international governments denounce junta’s planned sham 2010 election and its results; then they are effectively supporting Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s call for boycotting junta’s planned sham 2010 which is tantamount to help us implementing 1990 election results.&lt;br /&gt;For more information please contact &lt;br /&gt;Myo Thein [United Kingdom]&lt;br /&gt;Phone: 00-44-208-493-9137,

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led NLD boycott the junta’s planned election due to unfair election laws. Very military regime held the election in 1990 in which Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s party, National League for Democracy (NLD) won the landslide victory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Junta ignores to honour the 1990 election results. In the mean time suppressions on the Burmese people intensified. Burmese people are living in prison like state under the military regime. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Addition, junta unilaterally adopted the constitution which legitimize military rule in Burma. According to the 14 years long unilaterally drafted constitution, military reserves the 25% of the seats at the parliaments which is totally undemocratic. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Burma junta’s party registration laws issued this year are bias, undemocratic and drafted in the way like “Do as I say, not as I Do”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, regime declares that fresh election will be held on 7 November 2010 based on 2008 unconstitutional constitution. Addition, 1990 election results are not yet honoured. In order to have true national reconciliation in Burma, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led NLD issued the “Shwe-Gone-Daing” declaration i.e.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	To release all political prisoners&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	To take place genuine dialogue&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	To revise 2008 Constitution&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	To Recognize 1990 election result&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Myo Thein, the Director of the Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) said that the&lt;br /&gt;“International community must take decisive action in this critical time. We would like to urge the international community not to recognize junta’s planned sham 2010 election and its pre-meditated results. It is not the election but the junta’s magic show to change snake skin well before the international community’s very own eyes. We would like to call for all the justice loving people around the world to stand fully behind the Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s call for boycotting junta’s sham 2010 election and its results”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We must do everything we can to restore democracy, human rights and rule of law in Burma the following three main principles i.e. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Implement 1990 election result in Burma &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the hope which we can defeat injustice system in Burma, this is the hope we can defeat military dictatorship in Burma, and this is the hope we can restore democracy and human rights in Burma under the leadership of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the democratically elected legitimate leader of Burma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“If this country is to achieve genuine democracy, the result of the elections of 1990 must be recognized. It must be recognized by the military regime, as it has been recognized by the people, and by the world at large. It is through this recognition that we will be able to make genuine progress in Burma. The results of the 1990 General Elections must be implemented is a resolution already taken by the United Nations. We already know that the General Assembly of the United Nations has accepted the notion that the will of the people has been expressed in the 1990 General Elections. This is something we cannot abandon. It will be to the detriment of our country if after an election has been held the results are not honoured and we do not resist attempts to trivialise it”, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi insists. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daw Aung San Suu Kyi reaffirmed again the importance of implementing 1990 election result and the necessary practical action taken by international community by saying "Since 1992, the United Nations General Assembly has been passing resolutions on the human rights situation in Burma. But resolutions are not enough. Resolutions should be implemented. We think it is time that the international community took a greater interest in getting the terms of the resolutions implemented". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the purpose United Nations standing for if it cannot take effective action decisively rather than playing into junta’s hands? We don’t want to see UNSC being disabled due to the China or/and Russia governments (possible) use of veto whenever Burma crisis is on the table. Now people are finding ways to by-pass China or/and Russia governments’ blockage at the UNSC. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We believe that if international governments endorse Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led people leaders as the legitimate government of Burma if should the one be formed, then it will be effectively by-passing the UNSC as well as by-passing the China or/and Russia governments' possible use of veto at the UNSC since they cannot influence individual countries from UNGA taking decisions independently”, Khin Maung Win, The Director of the Burma Democratic Concern (BDC).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We would like to give clear message to the world leaders that all the oppressed people of Burma stand firmly on upholding the “Shwe-Gone-Daing” Declaration and unanimously follow the leadership of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Review junta’s sham 2008 constitution&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the sham constitution drawn unilaterally by junta’s handpicked delegation -- which we must change. This is the sham constitution adopted unilaterally in rigged referendum – which we must change. This is the sham constitution designed to legitimise military rule in Burma -- which we must change. The essence of the 2008 Constitution is to guarantee impunity indefinitely and the 2010election will implement it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Therefore, we call for United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to declare the unilaterally adopted Burmese junta's 2008 sham constitution, which is designed to legitimize military rule permanently in Burma, as NULL and VOID”, said U Tint Swe Thiha, the Patron of the Burma Democratic Concern (BDC). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is reasonable to request the nullification of the 2008 Constitution by the UN Security Council. Precedence for such a move can be found in UNSC Resolution 554 regarding South Africa’s 1983 apartheid-entrenching constitution @UNSC Res 554 (15 November 1983) UN Doc A/RES/38/11 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;@ UNSC Res 554 (15 November 1983) UN Doc A/RES/38/11 •	UNSC declares that the so-called "new constitution" is contrary to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, that the results of the referendum of 2 November1983 are of no validity whatsoever and that the enforcement of the "new constitution" will further aggravate the already explosive situation prevailing inside apartheid South Africa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	Strongly rejects and declares as null and void the so-called "new constitution" and the "elections" to be organized in the current month of August for the “coloured” people and people of Asian origin as well as all insidious manoeuvres by the racist minority regime of South Africa further to entrench white minority apartheid rule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Boycott junta’s planned sham 2010 election &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boycott junta’s planned sham 2010 election now because it is designed to nullify 1990 election result. Boycott junta’s planned sham 2010 election now because election will be held in accord with 2008 sham constitution. Boycott junta’s planned sham 2010 election now because junta is setting up everything to win its own proxy party. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“International governments can help us realising justice reality in Burma. If international governments denounce junta’s sham 2010 election and its results; then they are effectively supporting Aung San Suu Kyi’s call for boycotting junta’s planned sham 2010 election”, said Daw Khin Aye Aye Mar, the patron of the Burma Democratic Concern (BDC).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We would like to invite all the justice loving people around the world to join with us working to restore democracy, human rights and rule of law in Burma where everyone can enjoy the freedom of speech, press, beliefs, assembly and rule of law that emphasizes the protection of individual rights. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is our duty to implement 1990 election results in which people voted for their leaders, it is our duty to review junta’s sham 2008 constitution, and it is our duty to boycott junta’s planned sham 2010 election which will legitimise military rule in Burma. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) believe that “YES WE CAN” to implement 1990 election result in Burma, “YES WE CAN” to change junta’s sham 2008 constitution and “YES WE CAN” to boycott junta’s planned sham 2010 election. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Together we can restore the democracy in Burma and build the better world. Let’s work together. We will win and we can bring justice realities in Burma. Yes we can since what we believe is what we achieve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information please contact &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Myo Thein [United Kingdom]&lt;br /&gt;Phone: 00-44-208-493-9137, 00-44-787- 788-2386&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Khin Maung Win [United States]&lt;br /&gt;Phone: 001-941-961-2622&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daw Khin Aye Aye Mar [United States]&lt;br /&gt;Phone: 001 509 586 8309&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;U Tint Swe Thiha [United States]&lt;br /&gt;Phone: 001-509-582-3261, 001-509-591-8459&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.bdcburma.org/NewsDetails.asp?id=691&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-5519377315087485190?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/5519377315087485190/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/08/burma-democratic-concern-bdc-yes-we-can.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/5519377315087485190'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/5519377315087485190'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/08/burma-democratic-concern-bdc-yes-we-can.html' title='Burma Democratic Concern (BDC): “YES WE CAN” take decisive action'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-1335801339789548623</id><published>2010-08-13T04:09:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-13T04:09:24.350-07:00</updated><title type='text'>August 13th Inside Burma News</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;Yangon, August 13 –	“The multi-party general elections will be held throughout Myanmar on November 7 ( Sunday ) this year,” the Union Election Commission ( UEC ) announced this morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This announcement of UEC was read out by the state-owned TV Myanmar at 10 am ( MST ) this morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will be the first general elections to be held in Myanmar in two decades time. In the last general elections held on May 27, 1990, Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy ( NLD ) won by landslide capturing 392 seats out of 485 seats at stake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this time as it turned out the NLD, which has rejected the military government’s 2008 State Constitution, has chosen to boycott the forthcoming general elections, which is to be held under this constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In deciding not to re-register with the Union Election Commission which amounted to boycotting the forthcoming general elections, the NLD has also openly criticized the Electoral laws and Political Parties Registration Law as “unfair and unjust.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Together with the NLD, four other existing political parties including NLD’s biggest allied party namely Shan Nationalities League for Democracy ( SNLD ) also decided to boycott the forthcoming general elections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now all these five political parties including NLD have become defunct because of their refusal to re-register with the Union Election Commission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However so, from among 10 political parties that have existed for two decades, five political parties including pro-government National Unity Party ( former Burma Socialist Programme Party of the late General Ne Win ) have chosen to apply for their continued existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As of yesterday evening, a total of 47 political parties have submitted applications to the UEC to form and to exist as political parties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the latest announcement made by the UEC, out of 47 political parties that have submitted applications to form and exist as political parties, 40 parties including the all powerful government’s party namely the Union Solidarity and Development Party ( USDP ) have been granted permission to register as political parties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The remaining seven political parties are still under scrutiny for receiving the permission to register as political parties,” the announcement said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Union Solidarity and Development Party ( USDP ), which was formed by Prime Minister U Thein Sein and 26 other ministers and deputy ministers, who have resigned from the military posts to contest in the elections, is still by far and large the biggest and most powerful political party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ( USDP ) has already opened its headquarters in Nay Pyi Taw and is currently busy opening its branches throughout the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posted in Aung San Suu Kyi, Aung San Suu Kyi said "The Results of the 1990 General Elections Must Be Implemented", Aung San Suu Kyi said "The Results of the 1990 General Elections Must Be Implemented".

For context, Israel and Palestine have eleven million. Afghanistan, which is about the same size as Burma, has twenty-nine million. Iraq, with a third less territory, has thirty-one million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inside Burma, everyone - except the small cabal of generals and their cronies who rule the country - is suffering. The Burmese people are suffocated by fear. Anyone is subject to arrest and torture, and at any time. Moreover, there is general but severe deprivation in food, education and health care. Large regions are also war zones, with the Burma Army perpetrating scorched earth attacks against ethnic minority villagers, which attacks constitute nothing less than crimes against humanity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A basic comparison, then, of Burma with Israel and Palestine, Afghanistan, and Iraq, suggests that the situation in the country should have far greater prominence. For years, though, international concern with the crisis in Burma has been small. This is now changing. Burma pro-democracy leaders, resistance forces and activists, by creating a great amount of publicity and pressure, have been able to force the problems in the country onto the international stage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, there is so much going on now about Burma that it is difficult to keep track, especially of what is significant. For example, many things that are not significant are being given undue attention by Burmese and international media and commentators. Foremost of these is the SPDC’s plan to have an “election,” and the actions of the different pro-junta parties that have announced they will participate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This entire event is a charade. It is a psychological warfare operation conceived by the dictator of Burma, Than Shwe. Its primary goal is to distract everyone from the real situation in the country, and secondly, to forestall a popular revolution and other decisive bids for pro-democratic change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the most part, Than Shwe’s operation is succeeding. Many people are consumed by the election. Few are focused on what will actually be required to free the people of Burma, much less involved in organizing it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The end of the Senior General?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The true situation is much more complex, and unstable. Than Shwe is under great pressure. He has experienced three major defeats this year. The first of these is that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the NLD rejected the election. This makes it extremely difficult, as they are the legitimate leaders of Burma, for the International Community to accept the result (if and when a vote is ever even held).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, Than Shwe hatched another plan, to regain control over areas of Burma that had been ceded to various ethnic armies in return for ceasefire deals. He demanded that they reorganize as Border Guard Forces, under Burma Army - read Burman officer - control. But these groups, content with the autonomy that they have experienced since they signed the ceasefires in the mid-1990s, refused to accept the transformation. Further, they actively prepared their troops and villages to defend against Burma Army attacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thirdly, the one ceasefire group of any size that had actually been willing to fight for the Burma Army, the DKBA, is now in the process of splitting over the BGF issue. A major DKBA unit, Brigade 5, has created an alliance with the pro-democracy resistance group, the KNU/KNLA. The split between the Karen that occurred at Manerplaw appears to be healing. And, if pro-SPDC DKBA units, such as Chit Thu’s Brigade 999, attack Brigade 5, there is a likelihood that his rank and file soldiers will change allegiance as well, effectively ending the DKBA. (Some 999 troops are already changing sides.) This would create a unified, potent Karen fighting force in eastern Burma. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are also two other important factors but which are less well recognized. The first is that the morale of Burma Army troops is extremely low. There have been dozens of instances of desertion and insubordination in the last two years, all over the country, and in the police as well. Many soldiers and police are now demanding early retirement, and repayment of the portions of their pay that have supposedly been invested as pensions. It is because of the morale problem that the Burma Army has not attacked the major ceasefire groups, the Wa and Kachin, not the argument that China objected to the refugee crisis that might develop. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, there is a split at the top of the SPDC over the election. The reason why the election date has not been announced is that this split has not been resolved. Than Shwe’s Roadmap, of which the election is the most important step, is intended to transfer power to a civilian administration. He believes this type of regime will protect him following his retirement. If power remains directly within a military junta, the future leading generals could purge him - and his family - at any time, just as he did to the original dictator of Burma, Ne Win.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem of course is that there is no place in this plan for Maung Aye, the second top general of the junta. Maung Aye leads his own clique of officers, and with their own divisions and battalions. The Burma Army - the Tatmadaw - is not unified. It has two major factions, and perhaps a third as well under General Shwe Mann.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Maung Aye group, fearing arrest, as occurred with former Intelligence chief Khin Nyunt, has refused to retire, and, frankly, there is nothing Than Shwe can do about it. If he tries to move his units against Maung Aye’s, this will constitute civil war within the Tatmadaw, and it will inevitably collapse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the real situation in Burma, and which everyone would do well to contemplate. Than Shwe’s position, underneath the apparent calm, is desperate. The election is a diversion and a farce. Its only true significance is what the lack of a date for the vote reveals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;International pro-dictatorship supporters&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Than Shwe has a lot of foreign friends, who do not want to see him fall. These include China, Russia, North Korea and Singapore, and also India and Thailand. Even though the last two are democratic, with governments that presumably would support the aspirations of the Burmese, they do not. India and Thailand fear the unrest that might develop in Burma during a democratic transition, as well as a resurgent free Burma. India also worries that autonomy and separatist claims by ethnic groups such as the Naga in its northeast would be magnified following Burma’s freedom. And, business groups in both countries are profiting heavily from natural resource deals with the SPDC, and for Thailand from exploitation of migrant workers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lobbying of multinational corporations, who are blind to if not direct partners in the SPDC’s crimes, has also undermined the foreign policy of the United States, European Union, Japan and Australia. It is not an overstatement to say that these countries and the EU are Than Shwe’s friends as well, and this also applies to ASEAN and the United Nations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nuclear solution&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even with all of this international support, Than Shwe’s hold on power is tenuous. The five factors listed earlier (the situation on the ground within Burma's borders right now) are much more important:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Rejection by DASSK of the election.&lt;br /&gt;- Refusal of the ceasefire groups to transform to BGF.&lt;br /&gt;- Breakup of the DKBA and re-alliance with the KNLA.&lt;br /&gt;- Burma Army morale problem including desertions and unwillingness to follow orders.&lt;br /&gt;- Split at the top of the SPDC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no real solution for Than Shwe to these problems. Freedom and democracy for Burma are coming. In a last-ditch attempt to prevent this historical inevitability, he is trying to produce a nuclear trump card. He is working hard with his allies to obtain a functioning atomic weapon, as quickly as possible. The purpose of this weapon, however, is not - as many have speculated - to deter a United States invasion. Indeed, the nuclear program may push the U.S. to the point where it has to intervene. Rather, if Than Shwe, personally, has his finger on a bomb inside Burma - his mansion connects directly to Naypyidaw’s command bunkers and tunnels - he believes this will protect him even after he retires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dictator Watch has published reams of intelligence about the nuclear program over the last four years, and which intel has been confirmed by other sources. The basic situation is that the SPDC is mining uranium, milling at least some of it into Yellow Cake, and then bartering this as well as raw ore to North Korea and we believe also Iran. The junta, with North Korean assistance, and European and Japanese machine tools, is further producing components necessary to enrich uranium to bomb grade, and to extract plutonium from spent reactor fuel that could further be shaped into a bomb core. While construction of a reactor is as yet unconfirmed, the number of officers studying reactor science and operations in Russia is proof that this plan exists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As expert commentators have pointed out, though, this is still a long-term project, potentially five years or more from yielding a functioning weapon. Than Shwe does not have this much time. He knows it. His regime could fall this year - indeed, at any time. He needs a bomb now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We believe that this will force him to focus on the enriched uranium route to a bomb instead of the reactor/plutonium path. It would also be amazing if he did not attempt to buy a weapon directly from either China or North Korea. Probably the only thing preventing this type of sale is that both countries would be afraid of supplying one to such an unstable regime. Were it to be detonated, under any circumstances (Thailand beware!), this could easily lead to war in East Asia, and which would bring about their own downfall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dictator Watch has received more intelligence about the nuclear program:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- China has signed a long-term lease on the Mo Meik uranium deposit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- High-grade raw uranium is being transported through China to North Korea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- In return, North Korea, and with China's direct involvement, is helping the SPDC escalate its atomic weapons program. Factory construction is being accelerated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both North Korea and China sent ships to Burma in April. The North Korean shipment at a minimum included equipment for Burma's nuclear factories. The Chinese ship may have as well. Neither was interdicted by the United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More such shipments are a certainty, and may have already occurred. We think it is probable, because of the pressure on North Korea following its sinking of a South Korean naval vessel in March, that the plan for the shipments has been modified. Everything that can be transported overland will be sent through China. Some items will first be shipped from North Korea to Chinese ports. Other items will be sent in cargo flights, including from both North Korea and China. Everything that must be sent by sea will be transferred from North Korean ships to Chinese vessels in the China Sea, and then transported all the way to Burma waters, for offloading to Burma Navy vessels. Even though the U.S., under the United Nations sanctions against North Korea, could intervene to disrupt this system, it is unlikely to do so as this would require it to publicly confront China.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Communist Party of China does not want Burma to become democratic. Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao will actively help Than Shwe obtain an atomic bomb if they believe this is the only viable option to prevent it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also likely, with increased nuclear equipment and material deliveries, and with the thousands of trained scientists returning from Russia, that the junta will vastly expand the nuclear program's management structure. Just as the SPDC now has a missile directorate, we expect a similar directorate for the weapons program will be established, if it is not already operational.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all of this expansion underway, and against the backdrop of the Tatmadaw’s internal instability, we further expect an increasing flow of defectors and other sources with new intel about the program. Than Shwe will not be able to keep it secret.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real question, then, is how will the world respond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is important never to forget that Burma is a failed state. It is being pillaged by a gang of mass murderers and their international co-conspirators.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no real government, only a collection of warlords, both inside the SPDC and in the ceasefire areas. Matched against them is the nonviolent pro-democracy movement, led by Daw Suu and the NLD, and the pro-democracy ethnic resistance armies that are fighting to defend their people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most apt analogy of the SPDC is that of a dog pack, but not of a collection of pampered pets. Rather, the generals of the SPDC are like the diseased mongrels that roam city streets, hide on the fringes of poor villages, and scavenge at garbage dumps. These types of dogs are always on the edge of survival, and to increase their chances they form packs. The packs are led by the toughest, meanest dogs, and they defend their territory ruthlessly, killing any intruders. As the top dog in such a pack, your life is not that bad. You get the most food, and mating opportunities. But this lasts only as long as your strength. When it fails, younger dogs in your pack, envious of your position, turn on you, tear you apart, and replace you. It is the law of the jungle - natural law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Than Shwe is a pack leader but he is getting old. The other top dogs of the junta have their hackles up - they sense opportunity. Than Shwe’s days are numbered, and there is nothing he can do about it. Even a nuclear bomb will not protect him from his fellow generals, and more importantly fifty million angry Burmese.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of Burma's most respected pro-democracy leaders, U Win Tin, recently commented that no one wants to see more instability in Burma. While in principle we agree with this sentiment, we feel obliged to note that this is not the way the real world works. A true democratic transition - not a “power-sharing” arrangement that allows the dictators to retain some control - cannot occur gradually. There must be a break, as the dictators are defeated, and this break will be accompanied by some form of instability. One would hope that it would be limited to violence within the junta itself, as lower-level officers initiate a pro-democracy coup. Offensives against the Burma Army by the ethnic groups and the ABSDF should also be encouraged. In summary, and as we have been saying for over a decade, the crisis in Burma cannot be resolved by dialogue and activism alone. It requires revolution. The American colonists revolted over “taxation without representation.” A revolution in Burma to end mass oppression and crimes against humanity is more than justified. It is necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DICTATOR WATCH &lt;br /&gt;(www.dictatorwatch.org) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-5679575522583443535?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/5679575522583443535/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/08/burma-freedom-situation-report.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/5679575522583443535'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/5679575522583443535'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/08/burma-freedom-situation-report.html' title='BURMA FREEDOM SITUATION REPORT'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-5591859234964943823</id><published>2010-08-12T10:25:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-12T10:25:25.435-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Latest News on Election</title><content type='html'>Latest News on Election &lt;br /&gt;Inside Burma&lt;br /&gt;12 Aug 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yangon, August 12 --	 Though the long-awaited date for elections has not yet been declared for 2010 general elections, so far 46 political parties have submitted applications to the Union Election Commission ( UEC ) to form and to exist as political parties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the latest announcement made by the UEC, out of 46 political parties that have submitted applications to form and exist as political parties, 40 parties including the all powerful government’s party namely the Union Solidarity and Development Party ( USDP ) have been granted permission to register as political parties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The remaining six political parties are still under scrutiny for receiving the permission to register as political parties,” the announcement said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Union Solidarity and Development Party ( USDP ), which was formed by Prime Minister U Thein Sein and 26 other ministers and deputy ministers, who have resigned from the military posts to contest in the elections, is still by far and large the biggest and most powerful political party. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ( USDP ) has already opened its headquarters in Nay Pyi Taw and is currently busy opening its branches throughout the country. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From among the 10 existing political parties, which had been operating for over two decades upto April this year, five political parties including pro-government National Unity Party ( former Burma Socialist Programme Party of the late General Ne Win ) have chosen to apply for their continued existence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hence, all these five political parties were included among 40 political parties that have been granted permission by UEC to register.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The five political parties that have boycotted 2010 elections were Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy ( NLD ), Shan Nationalities League for Democracy ( SNLD ), Union Paoh National Organization, Shan State Kokang Democratic Party and Wa National Development Party. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile the Union Election Commission ( UEC ) this morning designated constituencies for Pyithu Hluttaw ( House of Representatives ), Amyotha Hluttaw ( House of Nationalities ), Region and State Hluttaws. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning’s issue of state-owned newspapers carried a supplement showing 330 constituencies for Pyithu Hluttaw throughout Myanmar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is in accordance with the 2008 State Constitution, which prescribes that the Pyithu Hluttaw shall have 330 elected members plus 110 military men nominated by the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow’s issue of state-owned newspapers is expected to carry supplement showing constituencies for Amyotha Hluttaw ( House of Nationalities ) and Region and State Hluttaws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: Special thanks to the news sender from Burma Democratic Concern (BDC)&lt;br /&gt;

By a landslide Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) won that election. But the junta rejected the election results and even put her and her fellow pro-democracy activists in jail. &lt;br /&gt;She has been in prison or under house arrest, with ever so brief periods of temporary liberty, these past 20 years. The junta has been adding trumped up charges against her through the years. Her allies have not been much luckier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Except China, the socialist-Buddhist Burmese military leaders’ friend and supporter, and of late India, virtually all the countries of the world have been begging the Burmese junta to free Aung San Suu Kyi, to give back the Burmese people their political and economic freedoms and allow them to exercise their basic human rights. Their pleas, and the entreaties of UN and Asean envoys, have fallen on deaf ears. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nargis bared junta’s self-serving cruelty&lt;br /&gt;Through the years, most Burma watchers—seeing Aung San Suu Kyi’s oppression and the generals’ cruelty to their own people—have come to despise the military junta. This sentiment grew in the aftermath of the catastrophic Cyclone Nargis in 2008. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nargis destroyed much of Burma’s Irrawaddy Delta and areas of the capital Rangoon (which the generals now call Yangon), lands and people so beautiful and romantic in the stories, novels and poems of Rudyard Kipling and George Orwell. The 160-kilometer winds and heavy rains killed more than 140,000 and destroyed the crops. There was a humanitarian disaster. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The military junta did nothing to rescue the victims. And when planeloads and shiploads of aid came from the rest of mankind, the junta refused to let food, medicine and supplies to be taken by Red Cross and other aid workers to the starving, injured, and homeless Burmese people. The generals were afraid that the foreign bearers of rescue and food packages would turn out to be like Greeks in the Trojan horse. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elections before end of 2010 a PR exercise&lt;br /&gt;On Thursday, the head and co-founder a new pro-democracy party that was formed to participate in elections Burma’s dictators promised to hold before the end of the year, resigned. Phyo Min Thein, who had been imprisoned for 15 years for joining the bloody 1988 uprising, said, “I do not believe the coming elections will be free and fair.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What he belatedly came to realize was what wiser and less optimistic pro-democracy Burmese knew at once on reading the so-called “democratic constitution” the junta had prepared for the country. The election rules released last March and the appointment of an untrustworthy set of officials to serve as election commissioners sealed the decision of Aung Sun Suu Kyi and her NLD members not to participate in the election. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What made it obvious that the coming election was nothing more than a public relations gimmick was the junta’s rule that people who have been convicted by the junta of crimes, like Aung San Suu Kyi herself, are disqualified from running for office. This was the generals’ way of making sure Suu Kyi would not ever come out again as the Burmese people’s chosen leader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On top of these rules obviously skewed against the opposition parties, the junta also did something to make their political party the sure winner. There is in Burma a junta-approved mass-based welfare society, the Union Solidarity and Development Association (USDA). It has 24 to 26 million members. It is the body through which services and doles from the government get to the poor—meaning the members. The generals recently formed a political party called the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP). The USDA and the USDP were merged, with the social welfare society being subsumed in the political party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the junta’s way of dominating the election. This made foreign observers—the Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, various European and Asian organizations—condemn the coming elections as nothing but a farce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The morphing of Burma’s largest mass-based organization with the military’s political party is a brazen if predictable distortion of the electoral process,” said Elaine Pearson, acting Asia director at Human Rights Watch, last month. “The future of military rule is being shamelessly scripted and played out before our eyes.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;USDA-USDP and the Ton-ton Macout&lt;br /&gt;Human Rights Watch says the military junta has long used the USDA for partisan political purposes. Since the 1990s USDA members have been marching and demonstrating throughout the country. They deliver speeches denouncing Aun San Suu Kyi and the NLD and other opposition parties. They attack the United States, the International Labor Organization and of course extol the virtues of the generals. Burma’s Senior General Tan Shwe is the USDA’s main patron. Its secretary general is U Htay Oo, a retired general who is now the minister for agriculture and irrigation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The USDA carried out violent attacks on Aung San Suu Kyi in 1996 and 1997. It launched violent mob action against a National League for Democracy motorcade in May 2003. Scores died in that attack. During peaceful demonstrations in August and September 2007, USDA thugs intimidated the pro-democracy protestors. The USDA, now merged with the USDP, joined junta security forces that violently cracked down on Buddhist monks perceived to be anti-government in September 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doesn’t this remind one of the Ton-Ton Macout in the Duvaliers’ Haiti?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aung San Suu Kyi and her NLD loyalists are right. The election is meant to give the world the false impression that democracy has returned to Burma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Philippines, alone, if fellow Asean countries do not wish to take risks, must help intensify international pressure on Burma’s junta, keep on urging it to release political prisoners and enter into an honest dialogue to achieve reconciliation with the opposition. The aim is to make Burma a normal and beautiful nation again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Source:http://www.manilatimes.net/index.php/component/content/article/83-opinion-columnist/23204-no-sign-burmas-coming-election-will-be-free-fair&lt;br /&gt; The manila Times&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-4248265929608362601?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/4248265929608362601/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/08/no-sign-burmas-coming-election-will-be.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/4248265929608362601'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/4248265929608362601'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/08/no-sign-burmas-coming-election-will-be.html' title='No sign Burma’s coming election will be free, fair'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-8252418678146650553</id><published>2010-07-30T05:33:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-30T05:33:32.763-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Burma: Democratisation of Burma from Exile (Myo Thein)</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height='270' width='480'&gt;&lt;param value='http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/video/xe77di?additionalInfos=0' name='movie'/&gt;&lt;param value='true' name='allowFullScreen'/&gt;&lt;param value='always' name='allowScriptAccess'/&gt;&lt;embed allowscriptaccess='always' allowfullscreen='true' height='270' width='480' src='http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/video/xe77di?additionalInfos=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash'/&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xe77di_burma-democratisation-of-burma-from_news'&gt;Burma: Democratisation of Burma from Exile (Myo Thein)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;i&gt;Uploaded by &lt;a href='http://www.dailymotion.com/Burmademocraticconcern'&gt;Burmademocraticconcern&lt;/a&gt;. - &lt;a href='http://www.dailymotion.com/gb/channel/news'&gt;Up-to-the minute news videos.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-8252418678146650553?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/8252418678146650553/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/07/burma-democratisation-of-burma-from.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/8252418678146650553'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/8252418678146650553'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/07/burma-democratisation-of-burma-from.html' title='Burma: Democratisation of Burma from Exile (Myo Thein)'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-8954019120142921962</id><published>2010-07-30T03:06:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-30T03:06:18.382-07:00</updated><title type='text'>U.S. Daily Press Briefing</title><content type='html'>Philip J.

CROWLEY: We have – as we’ve stated many times, we have concerns about the nature of the relationship between North Korea and Burma. We don’t see the transparency in that relationship that we’d like to see. North Korea is a serial proliferators. North Korea is engaged in significant illicit activity. Burma, like other countries around the world, has obligations, and we expect Burma to live up to those obligations.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;QUESTION: But do you see North Korea indulging in nuclear proliferation with Burma, or do you see Burma has that ambition?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;MR. CROWLEY: Again, there – we – it’s difficult to evaluate because of the lack of transparency in that relationship. It is something that is of concern to us, given North Korea’s historical record. And it is something that we continue to watch very carefully.&lt;br /&gt;QUESTION: During your talks with the Burmese officials, has that issue been brought up with them or the –&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;MR.

Okay.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;QUESTION: On Ambassador Einhorn’s trip to Asia, is he going to announce the new sanctions against North Korea while he’s in Asia, or do you expect that announcement after he comes back from the region?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;MR. CROWLEY: I don’t think he’ll make any announcements while he’s out there.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Philip J.

CROWLEY: Well, we recognize that India and Burma, as neighbors, they have a relationship. We have spoken to India about the nature of this relationship. We hope that India will use its leverage, its investment, to convince Burma and its leaders to improve its record regarding human rights and democracy. We think it’s important for Burma to hear not only from the United States, but also from other regional leaders, India foremost among them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;div

Peter Popham reports&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the run-up to a long promised but still unscheduled general election, the first for 20 years, Burma's military dictator, Senior-General Than Shwe, has taken a step full of peril: he has ordered his uniformed cabinet ministers to resign from the army.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those faceless generals who adorn the front page of the New Light of Myanmar, the regime's daily paper, inspecting fish-packing factories and barrages, will still be running the country, and anything resembling democratic governance will be as far away as ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the look of things will have changed. The ministers will wear longyi, the traditional Burmese sarong-like garment. And crucially for them, they will no longer enjoy the status and respect which, in a country ruled with an iron fist by the military for half a century, is the army's prerogative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Irrawaddy, the expatriate Burmese news website, predicts trouble. "Senior-General Than Shwe is facing a mutiny among his subordinates," it claimed last week. "There are growing signs of discontent among his cabinet ministers... They have been betrayed by their boss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Like it or not, army uniforms are a symbol of authority in Burma," it went on. "Those who wear them always get priority over those who don't. They are respected and can expect easy co-operation from others. Suddenly they will lose that privilege."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leaving the army also means that those ministers will not be included in the 25 per cent quota that the army has reserved for itself in the planned new parliament. "Now they are on their own," Irrawaddy columnist Bamargyi pointed out. "Unless Than Shwe supports them with some dirty deals from behind the scenes, they are sure to lose. Once this happens, they are down the drain."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In trying to rebrand his military dictatorship as a civilian administration, the 77-year-old soldier who has been the boss of his nation of 50 million people for the past 18 years, and who was recently named by the journal Foreign Affairs as the world's third-worst dictator after Kim Jong-il and Robert Mugabe, thus faces a major challenge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in trying to withdraw from the scene while remaining in control, he faces an even tougher test: how, as King Lear deludedly put it, to "shake all cares and business from our age,/ Conferring them on younger strengths, while we/ Unburden'd crawl towards death"? How to do that without getting the Goneril and Regan treatment – or much worse?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How, in other words, to live out the rest of his days enjoying the billions he has plundered from the state, without ending up like his late boss Ne Win, Burma's dictator from 1962 to 1988, who, on Than Shwe's orders, ended his life locked in his lakeside villa in Rangoon under house arrest while his sons languished in jail under sentence of death?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How to avoid the fate of Khin Nyunt, the military intelligence chief and for many years Than Shwe's number two, who is also under house arrest with no prospect of release (while some of his underlings were tortured to death) after China hailed him as "Burma's Deng Xiaoping"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Ben Rogers, author of the first-ever biography, Than Shwe: Unmasking Burma's Tyrant, which is launched in London next week, acute anxiety about his security is behind the fact that, two years after announcing elections, the senior general has yet to say when they will be held.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He wants to make sure that everything is sewn up perfectly and that he can continue to govern from behind the scenes," said Rogers, a human rights advocate with Christian Solidarity Worldwide. "He will hold off naming the date until he's certain he's got all his ducks in a row. He doesn't want to give the candidates any room for campaigning."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A similarly secretive, paranoid approach dictated the most extraordinary decision of Than Shwe's career, and the one which, for good or ill, will assure him immortality of a sort: the removal of Burma's capital from Rangoon to a hot, malaria-infested, seismically sensitive wasteland in the centre of the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The idea of moving the army's HQ out of Rangoon had been in the air for a number of years, and may have been mentioned by Than Shwe to Aung San Suu Kyi in one of the fruitless meetings they held in 1994, while the opposition leader was under her first spell of house arrest. Rangoon is in the far south; for an army engaged in multiple counter-insurgency operations in the north and east, a base in the centre made strategic sense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But unbeknownst to the outside world, Than Shwe nursed a far more drastic plan. "At precisely 6.37 am on 6 November 2005," writes Rogers, "hundreds of government servants left Rangoon in trucks shouting, "We are leaving! We are leaving!" ... Five days later, a second convoy of 1,100 military trucks carrying 11 military battalions and 11 ministries left Rangoon. Perhaps influenced by astrologers, Than Shwe had decided to move the country's capital. He had given government officials just two days' notice."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Naypyitaw, which translates as "Seat of Kings" and is dominated by oversize statues of Than Shwe's favourite royal forerunners, will be this man's monument. "It's the most awful place you've ever been to," said Mark Canning, a former British ambassador to Burma. "It's a collection of buildings scattered over scrubland. But they are all just dispersed, and there are two or three kilometres between each building. One can only presume it's so they don't get bombed or something, to spread out the targets." As a resident of Naypyitaw told one foreign journalist, "Although [Than Shwe] is a king, he is afraid of many things. He thinks that here he will be safe."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Naypyitaw thus incarnates what Suu Kyi once said about fear. "It is not power that corrupts, but fear," she noted in 1990 when she was already under house arrest. "Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it, and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it... Fear slowly stifles and destroys all sense of right and wrong."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only in a system dominated by fear could a man like Than Shwe rise to the top and stay there, because throughout his career he has given the impression of being so unimpeachably mediocre as to be without ambition or hope of success. He was a man incapable of provoking fear until suddenly he was at the top of the tree, and now he has held his nation in thrall for nearly two decades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The comments of those who have had dealings with him are uniformly unflattering. "Short and fat with not a strong voice," says one. "Relatively boring," says another. "No evident personality." "Our leader is a very uneducated man." "There were many intelligent soldiers but he was not one of them...a bit of a thug." "You feel that he's got there by accident..." The closest Than Shwe gets to being complimented is in the description of a former World Bank official: "He is such an old fox!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Born in 1933 in the central Burmese town of Kyaukse, Than Shwe quietly rose through the ranks despite having no striking military successes, until he was appointed deputy defence minister in July 1988 in the midst of the biggest revolt since the military takeover, the regime's moment of greatest danger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1990 he was there alongside the erratic, sometimes deranged General Saw Maung, head of the new State Law and Order Restoration Council, who once drew his pistol on fellow generals during a game of golf and was eventually deposed. Then it was a contest between Than Shwe and military intelligence chief Khin Nyunt – who crucially had no experience as a commander in the field, and thus no chance of being accepted as chief by the army. Eventually Khin Nyunt, too, was flung from the battlements, a denouement waiting to happen. "Every single chief of military intelligence in Burma has been disgraced," said a former ambassador. "It's rather like being the drummer in Spinal Tap – you end up disappearing."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Than Shwe's mediocrity may have had its effect on Western attitudes towards him: he is easily under- estimated. As Rogers points out, he "has demonstrated time and again his skill at offering just enough of a concession to hold the international community at bay whenever pressure intensifies...Each time the pressure eases, Than Shwe quietly abandons his promises."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile at home he has continued on the path set by his former superior Ne Win decades back: hugely expanding the size of the army, which now includes tens of thousands of children in its ranks, and continuing the campaigns of quasi-genocidal terrorism against the Karen and other ethnic minorities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Sergio Pinheiro, UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Burma from 2000 to 2008, writing in 2009, "Over the past 15 years the Burmese Army has destroyed over 3,300 villages in a systematic and widespread campaign to subjugate ethnic groups." At the same time he has kept Burma's civilian population in poverty and hopelessness. The only "reforms" he has pushed for have had the aim of perpetuating military rule under a disguise that fools nobody.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is safe to predict that sooner or later Than Shwe will get his come-uppance. It may come from his immediate subordinates, furious at being kicked out, and an army that has never held him in esteem. The civil servants of Naypyitaw, incandescent at being exiled from the civilised comforts of Rangoon, may play their part. The monks, whom he arrogantly and foolishly refused to appease in 2007, could have a role.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But however certain his eventual downfall, you would have to be a very brave optimist to predict that he will be replaced by someone significantly better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The general in brief&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Born in 1933, Than Shwe joined the army at 20. He became Burma's top military leader in 1992 – four years after thousands of protesters had been massacred in Rangoon. The reclusive 77-year-old is thought to be superstitious, often consulting astrologers. In 2007, his new Burmese constitution effectively barred opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi from office. Some credit the general with negotiating ceasefires with ethnic rebel armies, although he has also been accused of brutally suppressing minorities. He has been linked with high-level government purges, including that of Prime Minister General Khin Nyunt in 2004.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/burmas-paranoid-dictator-plots-his-dignified-exit-2024395.html&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-5756372694537437688?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/5756372694537437688/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/07/burma-paranoid-dictator-plots-his.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/5756372694537437688'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/5756372694537437688'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/07/burma-paranoid-dictator-plots-his.html' title='Burma&amp;#39;s paranoid dictator plots his dignified exit'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-5625477404723580903</id><published>2010-07-11T02:59:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-11T02:59:09.946-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Naypyidaw plague and dengue outbreaks infect troops, children</title><content type='html'>Naypyidaw plague and dengue outbreaks infect troops, children&lt;br /&gt;Mizzima news&lt;br /&gt;10 July 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chiang Mai (Mizzima) – Outbreaks of plague and dengue fever are spreading through military units in Naypyidaw, the Burmese military regime’s seat of government, according to a military hospital source. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Infected soldiers were admitted to the new 1,000-bed military hospital in Naypyidaw for treatment. Moreover diarrhoea and dengue fever is spreading among residents in the capital’s neighbouring township of Pyinmana, home to 100,000 people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Children under-12 [of soldiers] in these Naypyidaw military units infected with dengue fever and plague were admitted to the children’s hospital and the troops infected with dengue and plague and their children over 12 were admitted here,” an officer from the military hospital, who requested anonymity, told Mizzima. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He declined to give further details on the scale of the epidemic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to official government figures released last year, Naypyidaw, meaning Royal City, is the third largest city in Burma, with a population of 925,000. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The outbreaks emerge after hundreds of thousands of rodents were reported late last month migrating from their current habitats. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Mice are moving ‘in their thousands’ away from lakes and reservoirs in central Burma’s Bago and Mandalay divisions and towards urban areas. One man reported seeing fleets of mice on the Mandalay-to-Naypyidaw highway,” an exile media outlet reported on June 30. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a sign of unusual openness by the junta, Ministry of Health plague warnings were seen in state-run papers on July 1 and 2. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The warning said: “Sudden death of mice may be because of plague. The people are advised to report and send the dead mice suspected of being infected with plague to the nearest health department”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, Dr. Khin Aye Myint from the Social Welfare dispensary in Pyinmana disagreed with any contact with the mice and offered a safer solution. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The Health Department should instigate a public awareness campaign on plague and dead mice. If suspected, the dead mice should be poured with petrol and burned or should be reported to health department,” Dr. Khin Aye Myint said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reuters news agency reported on Wednesday that the Burmese Ministry of Health had also circulated a warning among government departments about rat-borne plague after finding infected dead rodents near a government office in Naypyidaw, an official said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover residents of Yauktharinn, Kanoo, Yanaung (2) and Shwechi wards in Pyinmana said that diarrhoea and dengue fever were spreading in their locality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Previously it infected children aged between 5 and 12 but elderly people were now also being infected. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Some dengue fever patients visited nearby clinics and could recover within one or two days. Some of them were referred to hospitals. There are also many patients suffering from diarrhoea,” a brokerage owner in Yaukthuarinn Ward told Mizzima. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The virus that causes dengue fever is carried by mosquitoes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wet, humid weather during the monsoon has encouraged breeding of mosquito larvae in drains, ponds and garbage dumps, which encouraged the breeding of flies and mosquitos and the subsequent spreading of the bacterias that cause diarrhoea through contaminated foods and the virus that causes dengue, Dr. Khin Myint Aye said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dengue spreads because of our inability to fight the mosquito menace, he said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dengue outbreaks are not rare in Burma. Ministry of Health announced that 910 people were infected with dengue during the January-May period and six those died from this disease that is also known as break-bone fever because of severe pain in the bones and joints that often characterises infection. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least 80 people were infected in Rangoon in the last week of June, Mizzima reported on July 1. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to official statistics, 3,129 Burmese people were infected with dengue last year and 37 died.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-5625477404723580903?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/5625477404723580903/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/07/naypyidaw-plague-and-dengue-outbreaks.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/5625477404723580903'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/5625477404723580903'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/07/naypyidaw-plague-and-dengue-outbreaks.html' title='Naypyidaw plague and dengue outbreaks infect troops, children'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-7816980424959892998</id><published>2010-07-08T23:49:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-08T23:49:31.202-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ILO: Forced Labor Still Widespread in Burma</title><content type='html'>The United Nations' International Labor Organization (ILO) says Burma has made limited progress in curtailing the use of forced labor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steve Marshall, the International Labor Organization's liaison officer in Burma, says over the past three years there have been "significant steps" toward eliminating forced labor in the country. The most progress has been in private organizations and the civil administration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"To an extent, the government has passed laws which say that forced labor is illegal, which is a very important first step of cours," said Marshall.  "The government has undertaken quite a lot of educational activity among local authorities particularly within the military as to the law and the responsibilities under the law."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Burma's military government has long used forced labor in everything from building roads to carrying military supplies through the jungle. At its extremes, there have been reports of people being pressed to walk through mine fields as human minesweepers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rights groups say thousands of Burmese are forced to work against their will, including children and the elderly. Many suffer abuse, including gang rape and murder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marshall said Thursday in Bangkok the military particularly continues to use forced labor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There are some indicators within the civilian side of the administration, which is very good," said Marshall.  "In the military side of the administration, there is no clear evidence of any change whatsoever."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One area of progress has been a new system that allows citizens to complain to the ILO. That has helped the rescue children forced to join the military.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In its new report, the ILO report says the government now regularly discharges under-age soldiers if complaints are filed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some armed ethnic groups also use child soldiers and Burma's government has allowed the ILO to talk with them to try to end the practice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marshall says there are moves to write new labor laws to allow trade unions once a new parliament is convened after elections later this year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regional political analysts say Burma's government appears to be taking a more cautious approach in dealing with labor and economic issues ahead of the elections. The vote will be the first in 20 years and is expected to place the government under the international spotlight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: http://www1.voanews.com/english/news/economy-and-business/ILO-Forced-Labor-Still-Widespread-in-Burma-98019769.html&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-7816980424959892998?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/7816980424959892998/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/07/ilo-forced-labor-still-widespread-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/7816980424959892998'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/7816980424959892998'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/07/ilo-forced-labor-still-widespread-in.html' title='ILO: Forced Labor Still Widespread in Burma'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-2176446631990044420</id><published>2010-07-07T16:42:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-07T16:42:53.338-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Burma: Ready to die for it (Htein Lin)</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;The people of Burma have been suffering under one of the world's most brutal and repressive regime. The military regime uses murder, torture, rape, political imprisonment and forced labour as practices for ruling the citizens of Burma. Freedom of expression and freedom of association are non-existent and Burmese citizens are denied any state in the shaping of their future. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Burma, power is centred on the ruling junta--the State Peace and Development Council, or SPDC--which maintains strict authoritarian rule over the people of Burma. Control is maintained through intimidation, the strict censuring of information, repression of individual rights, and suppression of ethnic minority groups.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the opponents of the military regime is Htein Lin, the dedicated Burma democracy activist. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Htein Lin said "I am ready to die for it". He is the Burma democracy activist devoted his life to work for democratisation of Burma. His dedication, determination and devotion for the cause of Burma democracy movement is incredible.

Fares were increased on Monday morning to 300 kyat ($0.30).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking to The Irrawaddy on Tuesday, a student from Technological University said, “We are unhappy with the increased bus fare, and we took to the streets to voice our concerns.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 3 p.m. On Monday, about 300 students from Technological University refused to take the bus because of the revised fare and walked from the campus to Sittwe city center at a time when most students were returning home. The number of protesters grew to about 1,000 after students from Computer University in Sittwe joined in, said the source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Soldiers blocked us on the road and threatened to shoot us if we kept marching,” he said. “But, we didn't listen and kept on walking.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The protest continued until 10 p.m. when the head of Computer University in Sittwe, Aung Kyaw Nyein, met with the students and said he would resolve the matter, the source said, adding that the number of people had by that time increased to about 3,000, including students' parents and onlookers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The western region commander Maj-Gen Thaung Aye reportedly put pressure on teachers on Tuesday to find out who initiated the protest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking to The Irrawaddy, a history professor at Sittwe University said, “It is not good for the students if bus fares go up. But, bus drivers were only getting 150 kyat from each student. The price of gasoline has gone up. They have to put their fares up.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In January last year, students from Technological University staged similar protests in the Arakan capital.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hundreds of demonstrators also took to the streets of Sittwe during the Saffron Revolution of 2007, which was sparked by a protest over a hike in gasoline prices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: http://www.irrawaddy.org/article.php?art_id=18897&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-7397660635505918854?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/7397660635505918854/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/07/sittwe-students-protest-bus-fare-hike.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/7397660635505918854'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/7397660635505918854'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/07/sittwe-students-protest-bus-fare-hike.html' title='Sittwe Students Protest Bus Fare Hike'/><author><name>बर्मा डेमोक्रेटिक कोऩसन</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05854891684308703678</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414732947725654018.post-5625869265216028768</id><published>2010-07-06T05:37:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-06T05:37:02.581-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Interview with Robert Goebbels, member of the European Parliament</title><content type='html'>Mizzima (Brussels) – Robert Goebbels, a member of the European Parliament (EP) from Luxembourg, received Mizzima at his office in Brussels. The Socialist member of the EP since 1999 is vice-chairman of the delegation for relations with the countries of Southeast Asia and Asean and has been minister of economic affairs, transport and public works and energy for Luxembourg. He is a member of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats group within the EP, the second-largest bloc in the parliament.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Robert Goebbels&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the early 1990s, the European Union (EU) has maintained a set of sanctions on Burma that, given the lack of progress on human rights and democracy in the country, has been strengthened over time. These restrictions comprise a travel ban on junta leaders, members of the judiciary and figures associated with the state-controlled economy (and in most of the cases, their close relatives); an assets freeze; and a ban on the export of regime-linked entities working in the industries of woods, metals, construction material, information technology and the media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do the existing EU sanctions on Burma bear any influence on the Burmese military rulers?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am personally against any policies based on sanctions; history has shown that they never work. The imposition of restrictions only serves the EU to give itself a good conscience. First of all, restrictions rarely hit the ruling elites. Cuba, Iraq and now Iran have evidenced how in the end, this type of embargoes only disrupts ordinary people. Furthermore, I seriously doubt that sanctions could ever prove conductive to bring about change in any way. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can the EU streamline its current range of sanctions if it is to promote human rights and democracy in Burma? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Burmese regime does not look at the approval of the West. Besides, the junta still makes business with a number of EU companies [the EU economic sanctions on Burma do not apply to companies operating in the country prior to the ban]. On the top of this, the junta’s dealings with a number of mighty economic allies [China, Russia, India, for example] secure the establishment with much-needed foreign investment.  In its endeavour to persuade the military regime to pave the way for opening up, the EU would be better advice if it engages in dialogue with the Burmese rulers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are certain policy discrepancies between the EP and the European Commission (EC) – the EU’s executive body – as the latter favours further dialogue with the junta. What do you make of this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is true. In the EP, there are a number of members who monopolise this debate, and I am afraid that these very people tend to be wrong. Some members of the EP subcommittee on human rights keep pursuing a misguided strategy on Burma – one that has largely failed in its aim to enhance the junta’s respect for its citizen’s fundamental freedoms. Consequently, I back the EC approach of generating new channels of dialogue. There are some times when we make the mistake to act in a paternalistic fashion, dictating to others what they should do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since last year, the EC has declined to finance aid for Burmese refugees living along the Thai-Burmese border. What could possibly be the EC’s reasons to stop such funding?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not informed about the details of the EC’s motives. I suspect that most of these funds go to NGOs. Despite that, the non-profit sector plays a very constructive role in the field; some NGOs also finance themselves out of the resources provided by the EU. The EC may know better than the EP committees concerned what the situation on the ground is. This would have probably prompted its decision. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does the Burmese issue interfere with relations between the EU and Asean?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The situation in Burma is always present on EU-Asean talks. Nonetheless, we should bear in mind that the ties between both supranational entities are essentially of an economic nature. In such a framework, the economic actors do not pay much attention to the human rights situation in Burma – otherwise, there would not be so many companies operating in the country.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you satisfied with the Asean method of dialogue without meddling in members’ domestic affairs?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously, Asean could have a larger influence on the junta’s policy-making. Yet, it should not be forgotten that various Asean member states have themselves poor records on human rights, which partially explains why the organisation is not very vigorous in challenging the junta. Nevertheless, the Asean Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights [formed last year] embodies a platform that should be better brought into play when dealing with the Burmese leadership.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, the EP encouraged the governments of China, India and Russia “to stop supplying the Burmese regime with weaponry and other strategic resources”. However, China has just sold 50 jet fighters to Naypyidaw. In the end, China, Russia, India and others are reluctant to stop their arms sales and energy deals with the regime. Could the EU possibly take any initiative to warn these states of Brussels’ annoyance?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would focus my answer on China, as I do not think that the EU has at its disposal much leverage against Beijing. One can say that China has not friends, only interests. In addition, we should not forget that many EU member states run vast investments in China; thousands of joint-ventures produce goods in China for the EU market. A number of European economies need China to expand, and the situation in Burma is unlikely to get in its way. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If it was for you to say what the Burmese military should first do to boost the credibility of the forthcoming elections, what would be your advice?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the junta were really aiming to hold credible elections, the regime should invite foreign observers to monitor the whole process. Following the polls, I am confident that the newly established parliament will not be satisfied with its given powers. At some point, the parliament will contest its original rubber-stamp role. I am positive that the new assembly will gradually challenge the military.      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;source: http://www.mizzima.com/edop/interview/4084-interview-with-robert-goebbels-member-of-the-european-parliament.html&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6414732947725654018-5625869265216028768?l=burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/feeds/5625869265216028768/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://burmademocraticconcern.blogspot.com/2010/07/interview-with-robert-goebbels-member.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/5625869265216028768'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6414732947725654018/posts/default/5625869265216028768'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html
