Who do not want self-determination?
Burmese junta's Brig-Gen Thein Zaw and PM Thein Sein in a recent visit to Kachin State claimed some ethnics in the State do not support for the KIO's demand for a self-determination state. It is not surprise to hear from SPDC who use "divide and rule" policy.
Let me ask Thein Zaw and Thein Sein, if you know 99% of Burma's population hate or dislike you and SPDC. No one like SPDC. 1 % who support SPDC are your elites, cronies and families members.
KIO's demand is not to dominate other ethnics like SPDC does. Self-determination is the universal rights guaranteed by the United Nations.
"Self-determination is the free choice of the people of a given territory or national grouping to determine their own political status and how they will be governed without undue influence from any other national or country."
A good example of self-determination state can be seen in many places within a federal country in the world including China. For instance, Hong Kong and Taiwan have their own governments and their own political systems even though they are part of China. While mainland China is a communist one party rule, Hong Kong and Taiwan practice democracy, multi-parties system.
Hong Kong is part of China but it is like a totally different country. Under “one country, two systems,” Hong Kong has its own political system, legal, military, economic and financial affairs, including commercial and cultural agreements with foreign countries, and enjoys "certain rights" in foreign affairs.
It is so ashamed and ridiculous that Thein Zaw and Thein Sein say some citizens do not want "self-determination." Kachins are not alone to reject the BGF plan. KIO simply can not accept the BGF plan because there is yet no political solution or human rights that represent Kachin people.
Let me make clear "we want self determination = a democratic state government that represent the entire population of kachin State (Kachin, Shan, Kala, Chinese, Shan Bama, etc.) In another word, we don't want the Napyidaw (or any nationals not from Kachin State) to dominate people in Kachin State. Neither do other ethnic states.
Thein Zaw and Thein Sein never read books and never try to understand the meaning of self-determination or federalism. Or are they simply fooling around. It is so ashamed that these stupid generals dare to make such claims.

East Timor Independence Day, 2002 -- Kofi Annan
Part of the opening ceremonies for East Timor's celebration of independence, as the country becomes a democracy. Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations, addresses the Timorese people.
If you are not familiar with the country's history, and you can make an hour in your schedule for it, we recommend watching Death of a Nation by David Munro -- available on YouTube -- to get a sense of what the Timorese people had gone through to reach this day. www.thecommunity.com

Fight for human rights is a legal fight for justice
Burmese regime thinks they don’t have to find a political solution if they have a stronger military. It is a wrong belief that the KIO and UWSA will surrender under any condition. Both sides will have intense casualties and the country will go back to intense war zone if the SPDC decides to fire.
Because KIO and UWSA have full support by the entire population of their own people and they are firmly founded on the political goal which is to restore “self-autonomy” or “federal democracy.” Besides the full support of their people, these ethnic groups are recognized by international community as legitimate organizations representation their people and fighting for justice and human rights. Not like the SPDC who illegally seizes the power of citizens of Burma.
No citizen like SPDC. But all Kachin and Wa population support the KIO and UWSA to fight if necessary. The citizens are on the KIO and UWSA side, but not the SPDC.
Perhaps the war will lead all ethnic armed groups to unite and to reinforce in fighting against the central regime.
All ethnic have learnt a good lesson from history and the oppressive rule of the SPDC. This time, if the regime provokes a war, maybe an opportunity to attack together the common enemy which is the SPDC who ignores the demand of 55 million people for a genuine democratic change. I am convinced that this war will not be an easy one but lots of consequence. Maybe this will lead to the downfall of the dictatorship regime.
Nowadays 55 million of Burmese people have angry eyes on the Burmese regime. The entire Kachin population supports the KIO but not the SPDC. Remember the judgment is always done by people's mind, not weapon.
Even US lost war on Vietnam because majority of Vietnamese people supported Ho Chi Minh. It will be a totally different story for Burmese junta. No citizen like SPDC. Burmese people want a new democratic government, so the junta will be crushed down within a few days, faster than Iraq. The winner is always the one who win the heart of the population. This victory is win-win situation for both people and politicians.
Remember we are not alone! The entire world condemns the SPDC for its consistence of doing wrong things. Such wrong doing will only lead the UN troops to bomb at the Naypyidaw, SPDC.

Say "NO" to the BGF plan
We all know that the 2008 constitution doesn't represent any political and human rights of ethnic people. Ne Win, Saw Maung, and Than Shwe had changed the history of Burma from being “a federal union of states” into a “unitary state.”
Under the leadership of Than Shwe, he and his Tatmadaw have founded the longest surviving military dictatorship ruling elites in the world while exploiting democracy and human rights of the people of Burma. Besides this, the Bama dominant regime has been also implementation political, culture and economic colonization over ethnic people in 7 states over a half century after they destroyed the 1947 Panglong Constitution.
Than Shwe knows, to implement such policy is possible only by the military mean “the power of Tatmadaw.” If there is no such dominance of the SPDC regime, Burma will become a federal democratic union. That is why Than Shwe’s regime says “only democracy is not good.” They want something else "Myanma-Nyi-Myanma-Han democracy." We have to examine what does it mean? The answer is that the SPDC doesn’t want “federalism” or “political power shared among ethnic nationals,” and they don’t want the military role only for national defense and security. They don’t want to lose the status quo of being super powerful generals.
For ethnic people, self-determination and preserving their identities are their goals. Ethnic armed forces emerged mainly to protect human rights and to resist their political rights violated by the Bama dominant SPDC.
Now we have no political dialogue and negotiation. Who will accept BGF? Only foolish and stupid persons who play politics on behalf their own interests will accept. Anyone who can think properly and who does politic on behalf of their people will say No to the BGF plan. We can let go ahead the 2010 election despite it is ashamed. But we have to maintain the current status of holding cease-fire guns to wait for a political dialogue because the 2008 constitution do not represent any human rights and political rights of ethnic people yet.
Therefore, let's say "No" to the BGF plan until there is a written gurantee of the "federal democratic system" in the constitution of the union of Burma. This is our historical and future task!

EBO Scholarship avialable for young Kachins
Dear Shirley(Kachins)
We are writing to you to ask you for your support in finding students to be
considered to study at the Martin Luther Christian University (MLCU) in
Shillong, North Eastern India www.mlcuniv.in. The university has agreed to work
with EBO to support individual students and channel them into appropriate
schemes to match their academic or vocational skills and background. The aim
would be for the students to come out with a bachelor’s degree or the
equivalent vocational qualification. EBO will support all costs (both academic fees and
living costs). This scheme would involve the student spending approximately four
years in Shillong (depending on the length of the course defined by the
university on arrival).
The EBO aims at including the most disenfranchised communities, so the students
you put forward do NOT have to be the most talented or exceptional candidates.
The only prerequisite from our side is that the young people have experience of
working with civil society groups or their communities, and have proven
commitment to working for their communities. We would like each student to sign
a contract with EBO to say they agree to working for their community for a
further 2 years after they have finished their studies. We would also like to
encourage female participation in this scheme.
Therefore we ask the following requirements from all candidate students:
1. A letter from a civil society group or community based organisation in
support of the candidate;
2. CV and covering letter from the candidate;
3. Legal travel documents (ie passport);
4. Minimum academic qualifications (Between 10 or 12 years of schooling).
5. Good written and spoken English (the course will be in English –
please
submit TOEFL scores/results).
The MLCU academic year starts in July, but the deadline for applications is
April 2010. Therefore, we need to make a selection quickly, so we would like to
ask you to send applications for candidates to us by 10 March 2010. The
submissions for candidates should be sent to india@euro-burma.be and
ebo@euro-burma.be.
We can only afford to support 10 students in 2010. We therefore are asking for
only a limited amount of candidates for this first round and hope that you may
be able to give these potential candidates careful thought. Please consider who
might be the best candidates to take full advantage of this opportunity, but
please remember they do not have to be the most talented or successful. We do
not want to disappoint large numbers of young people, so please try and limit
your selection to two candidates at first. If you have more possible candidates
in mind, please let us know when you submit the first two candidates, and we
will let you know if there are more spaces available for you to suggest more
candidates at a later date.
Warm regards,
