3 government workers injured in Kyaikmayaw Township bomb blast
A bomb exploded in a government telecommunication center in Kyaikmayaw town, the largest city in Mon state’s Kyiakmayaw Township, at 11pm on April 27th. According to a village chairman from the township, who asked to remain anonymous, 3 government workers at the center were wounded.
Kyaikmayaw town is roughly 100 miles southeast of Rangoon.
“The bomb exploded in Kalainkanaing quarter of the town on the 27th at 11 PM. The bombers arrived by motorbike,” he said.
This headman reported that the blast has elicited fear among Kyaikmayaw town residents, who fear that the large population of and central location of the city might lead to a repeat bombing.
“The people are also concerned, because the explosion occurred in the town [not in a rural area],” he explained.
Since April 15th of this year, four bomb blasts have occurred across the country of Burma. One in Rangoon during the city’s Songkran festivities, one at a mining site in northern Burma’s Kachin State, one in the capital of Karenni State in eastern Burma, and this last explosion in Mon state, located in the south of the country.
The government has accused the opposition groups of committing the first 3 explosions, but have yet to level accusations at any party regarding the Kyaikmayaw blast.
The New Mon State Party (NMSP) has denied responsibility for the bombing.
“We have not heard about this yet, and our party is not related to the explosion, as we haven’t ordered to our members to commit such acts. We want to solve problems in peace,” NMSP Vice- Chairman Nai Rot Sa told IMNA.

Global Action for Burma (GAB): l'UE doit prendre la prochaine étape forte
Global Action for Burma (GAB): l'UE doit prendre la prochaine étape forte
26 avril 2010
Global Action for Burma (AGE) appelle à l'Union européenne (UE) de prendre la prochaine étape qui devrait être plus forte de l'Union européenne se tient fermement sur la position qu'il ne reconnaîtra pas prévu la junte de 2010 et l'élection de ses résultats.
Nous nous félicitons du Conseil de l'Union européenne Résolution sur la Birmanie, mais nous voulons voir de l'action. Il est maintenant temps très important pour la Birmanie. Nous voulons que l'UE savent qu'ils doivent être réalistes dans le traitement de la junte.
La communauté internationale, y compris l'Union européenne a appelé à la junte pour entrer dans le dialogue avec Daw Aung San Suu Kyi a dirigé des groupes démocratiques.
En réalité, la junte n'a pas la volonté de trouver la solution pacifique et il est le tournant le dos sur la table de dialogue. Il a maintenant depuis 20 ans la communauté internationale appelant à la junte à engager un dialogue.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi a dit que: «Nous (NLD) ont fait tout notre possible pour essayer d'instaurer un dialogue qui nous aidera à trouver des solutions aux problèmes de notre pays. C'est le régime militaire, qui est opposé au dialogue. Nous aimerions que le monde de voir clair à ce qui se passe et de voir où se situe vraiment la rigidité. La Ligue nationale pour la démocratie (LND), représente le peuple de Birmanie et de leur désir d'un juste, équitable, le gouvernement démocratique ».
Junta ignore toujours la communauté internationale appelle à engager un dialogue en sachant que ce n'est que des mots sans action. peuple birman souffre de plus en plus dans le temps moyen et la junte acquise énorme bénéfice de miel communauté internationale l'approche de vitrage.
Nous en avons assez avec le régime militaire et que nous souhaitons voir un réel changement en Birmanie. Nous voulions aussi voir la communauté internationale nous soutient à l'action plutôt que des mots. Nous voulons voir l'Union européenne prend brave prochaine étape plutôt que de se demander autour de maintien de la sanction relative à la Birmanie. Même si nous appuyons la sanction, mais il ne sera pas apporter de véritables changements en Birmanie.
Global Action for Burma (AGE) aimerait voir (3) des mesures concrètes de l'Union européenne prendrait en vue d'apporter un véritable changement en Birmanie, à savoir
1. L'UE doit déclarer qu'il ne reconnaît pas prévu la junte de 2010 l'élection et ses résultats.
2. L'UE doit faire appel à la mise en œuvre de 1990 et les résultats des élections réellement démocratiques en soutenant les groupes qui tentent d'appliquer ces résultats.
3. L'UE doit déclarer qu'il est prêt à soutenir Aung San Suu Kyi a conduit le gouvernement comme le gouvernement légitime de la Birmanie si l'un doit être formé.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi a conduit la Ligue nationale pour la démocratie (LND), les vainqueurs des élections de 1990 a décidé à l'unanimité de boycotter fictive prévue par la junte de 2010 élections.
Sans la participation de Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, sans la participation de la Ligue nationale pour la démocratie (LND), et sans la participation électorale de 1990 aux partis vainqueurs, l'élection prévue junte en 2010 n'est évidemment pas admissible.
L'essence de la planification de tenir une élection en 2010 est juste d'annuler les résultats des élections 1990, afin de légitimer le régime militaire en Birmanie par l'exclusion de Daw Aung San Suu Kyi et des militants politiques dans l'avenir de la Birmanie.
Global Action for Burma (AGE) voudrais soulever (5) points pour laquelle l'UE devrait déclarer qu'il ne reconnaîtra pas prévu la junte de 2010 l'élection et ses résultats, à savoir
1. 1990 résultats des élections sont toujours encore à l'honneur
2. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi et des milliers de dissidents sont encore dans les prisons
3. Ligue nationale pour la junte élections prévues boycott Démocratie
4. 2008 Constitution vise à légitimer le régime militaire en Birmanie
5. Les lois électorales injustes et antidémocratiques
Chaque fois que nous parlons de la crise en Birmanie, on finit par dire amener la Birmanie pour discuter de cas au Conseil de sécurité. Après que nous nous retrouvions disant que la Chine et la Russie bloc avec droit de veto. Il est plus que jamais se terminant le cercle et nous avons pour mettre fin à cela.
Maintenant, nous avons la nouvelle approche qui sera by-pass du Conseil de sécurité ou de la Chine et la Russie veto. Si la communauté internationale approuver Aung San Suu Kyi a conduit le gouvernement comme le gouvernement légitime, si l'un doit être formé, il sera alors la solution pour la crise en Birmanie.

Global Action for Burma (GAB): EU must take the next stronger step
Global Action for Burma (GAB): EU must take the next stronger step
26 April 2010
Global Action for Burma (GAB) calls for European Union (EU) to take the next stronger step which should be EU stands firmly on the position that it won’t recognise junta’s planned 2010 election & its results.
We welcome EU council Resolution on Burma but we want to see action. Now is the very important time for Burma. We want the EU to know that they must be realistic in dealing with junta.
International community including EU has been calling for junta to enter the dialogue with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led democratic groups.
In reality, junta doesn’t have the will to find the solution peacefully and it is the one turning its back on dialogue table. It has now been 20 years international community calling for junta to enter dialogue.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi once said that- “We (NLD) have done everything we can to try to bring about a dialogue that will help us find solutions to the problems of our country. It is the military regime that is opposed to dialogue. We would like the world to look clearly at what is happening and to see where the inflexibility really lies. The National League for Democracy (NLD) represents the people of Burma and their desire for a fair, just, democratic government”.
Junta always ignores the international community calls to enter dialogue knowing that it is only words without action. Burmese people suffer more and more in the mean time and junta gained enormous profit from international community’s honey glazed approach.
We’ve had enough with military regime and we want to see real change in Burma. We also wanted to see international community supporting us with action rather than words. We want to see EU takes brave next step rather than wondering around maintaining sanction on Burma. Even though we support sanction, but it won’t bring about real change in Burma.
Global Action for Burma (GAB) would like to see (3) practical steps EU would take in order to bring about genuine change in Burma, i.e.
1. EU must declare that it won’t recognise junta’s planned 2010 election and its results.
2. EU must call for implementation of 1990 election results and actually supporting the democratic groups attempting to implement these results.
3. EU must declare that it is ready to endorse Aung San Suu Kyi led government as the legitimate government of Burma if should the one be formed.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led National League for Democracy (NLD), the victors of 1990 elections decided unanimously to boycott the junta’s planned sham 2010 election.
Without the participation of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, without the participation of National League for Democracy (NLD), and without the participation of 1990 election winning parties, junta’s planned election in 2010 is clearly not creditable.
The essence of planning to hold election in 2010 is just to nullify 1990 election results in order to legitimise military rule in Burma by excluding Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and political activists in the Burma future.
Global Action for Burma (GAB) would like to raise (5) points why EU should declare it won’t recognise junta’s planned 2010 election and its results, i.e.
1. 1990 election results are still yet to be honoured
2. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and thousands of dissidents are still in prisons
3. National League for Democracy boycott junta’s planned election
4. 2008 constitution is designed to legitimised military rule in Burma
5. Electoral laws are unfair and undemocratic
Whenever we talk about Burma crisis, we end up saying bringing Burma case to discuss at the UNSC. After that we end up saying China and Russia would block with veto. It is like never ending circle and we have to end this.
Now, we have the new approach which will by-pass UNSC or China and Russia veto. If international community endorse Aung San Suu Kyi led government as the legitimate government if should the one be formed, then it will be the answer for Burma crisis.

The National League for Democracy (NLD) represents the people of Burma and their desire for a fair, just, democratic government”.
Junta always ignores the international community calls to enter dialogue knowing that it is only words without action. Burmese people suffer more and more in the mean time and junta gained enormous profit from international community’s honey glazed approach.
We’ve had enough with military regime and we want to see real change in Burma. We also wanted to see international community supporting us with action rather than words. We want to see EU takes brave next step rather than wondering around maintaining sanction on Burma. Even though we support sanction, but it won’t bring about real change in Burma.
Global Action for Burma (GAB) would like to see (3) practical steps EU would take in order to bring about genuine change in Burma, i.e.
1. EU must declare that it won’t recognise junta’s planned 2010 election and its results.
2. EU must call for implementation of 1990 election results and actually supporting the democratic groups attempting to implement these results.
3. EU must declare that it is ready to endorse Aung San Suu Kyi led government as the legitimate government of Burma if should the one be formed.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led National League for Democracy (NLD), the victors of 1990 elections decided unanimously to boycott the junta’s planned sham 2010 election.
Without the participation of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, without the participation of National League for Democracy (NLD), and without the participation of 1990 election winning parties, junta’s planned election in 2010 is clearly not creditable.
The essence of planning to hold election in 2010 is just to nullify 1990 election results in order to legitimise military rule in Burma by excluding Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and political activists in the Burma future.
Global Action for Burma (GAB) would like to raise (5) points why EU should declare it won’t recognise junta’s planned 2010 election and its results, i.e.
1. 1990 election results are still yet to be honoured
2. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and thousands of dissidents are still in prisons
3. National League for Democracy boycott junta’s planned election
4. 2008 constitution is designed to legitimised military rule in Burma
5. Electoral laws are unfair and undemocratic
Whenever we talk about Burma crisis, we end up saying bringing Burma case to discuss at the UNSC. After that we end up saying China and Russia would block with veto. It is like never ending circle and we have to end this.
Now, we have the new approach which will by-pass UNSC or China and Russia veto. If international community endorse Aung San Suu Kyi led government as the legitimate government if should the one be formed, then it will be the answer for Burma crisis.

Burma: EU must declare it won’t recognize junta’s planned 2010 election and its results
Burma: EU must declare it won’t recognize junta’s planned 2010 election and its results
25 April 2010
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) calls for European Union (EU) to declare that “It won’t recognize junta’s planned election in 2010 and its results”.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led National League for Democracy (NLD) decided unanimously on 29 March 2010 to boycott the junta’s planned sham 2010 election due to its unfair electoral laws.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led NLD, unanimous victor of 1990 election, stands firmly on “Shew-Gone-Daing” declaration of which all four main principals are equally important that needs to place in order to have true national reconciliation in Burma.
Without the participation of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, without the participation of National League for Democracy (NLD), and without the participation of 1990 election winning parties, junta’s planned election in 2010 is clearly not creditable.
The very military regime held the election in 1990 pledging that they will transfer the power to the election wining party. The junta’s Law No.14/89, "Pyithu Hluttaw Election Law," states clearly in Chapter 3 Section 3 that the "Hluttaw (Assembly) shall be formed with the Hluttaw representatives who have been elected.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led National League for Democracy (NLD) won landslide victory. Instead of honouring 1990 election result, junta put Daw Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest and suppressing on the dissidents intensified. During their reign of terror, people of Burma are suffering tremendously.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi once said that: “The results of these elections will remain valid until such time as the Members of Parliament elected in 1990 by the people have had a chance to get together and decide what the next step is going to be. The world has to make certain that the outcome of these elections is honoured”. Even recently she urges the public to uphold “Shwe-Gone-Daing” declaration.
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) is glad to learn European Union (EU) resolution on Burma which was issued on 11 February 2010 stating that “Elections in 2010 is to justify five decades of military rule and gives the military 25% of the seats in parliament whereas the elections will be based on the army-drafted Constitution which bars Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD) from public office” and it also noted that “Under the present conditions they cannot be considered free and democratic, in particular, the ban on Aung San Sui Kyi standing as a candidate”.
Junta fails to implement 1990 election result until today and unilaterally adopted 2008 constitution to entrench military rule in Burma. The essence of planning to hold election in 2010 is “to nullify 1990 election results, to legitimise military rule in Burma and to exclude Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and political activists in the Burma political process”.
“I would like to affirm here that there is no room for genuine democratic change in Burma due to junta’s planned 2010 election so that all the justice loving countries should avoid any action glorifying it”, said Myo Thein, the Director of Burma Democratic Concern (BDC).

Maintenant, les gens croient que la junte est commis les crimes atroces qui tuent des innocents par l'explosion de la série de bombes dans tout le pays (à l'exception de Nay Pyi-Taw-Than Shwe, où est basée). Il est en indiquant clairement que la junte va faire tout ce qu'il faut pour s'accrocher au pouvoir.

Burma Interim Government: International Community must be informed
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) today calls for the international community to stand by with the oppressed people of Burma.
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) wholeheartedly welcomes Aung San Suu Kyi led National League for Democracy (NLD)’s unanimous decision on 29 March 2010, not to re-register to contest junta’s planned sham 2010 election game plan which will be legitimizing military rule in Burma.
The very military regime held the election in 1990 pledging that they will transfer the power to the election wining party. Aung San Suu Kyi led National League for Democracy (NLD) won landslide victory.
The junta’s Law No.14/89, "Pyithu Hluttaw Election Law," states clearly in Chapter 3 Section 3 that the "Hluttaw (Assembly) shall be formed with the Hluttaw representatives who have been elected.
Instead of honouring 1990 election result, junta put Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest and suppressing on the dissidents intensified. During their reign of terror, people of Burma are suffering tremendously. Junta never hesitate to use brutal force to repress anyone who opposes their illegitimate rule.
Aung San Suu Kyi officially once said that “That 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”.
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".
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 action being disabled due to the China or Russia governments (possible) use of veto whenever Burma crisis is on the table. Now people are finding ways to by-pass China or Russia governments’ blockage at the UNSC.
We believe that if international governments recognise the people’s leader as the legitimate government rather than junta, it will be effectively by-passing the UNSC as well as by-passing the China or Russia governments' possible use of veto at the UNSC since they cannot influence individual countries taking decisions independently.
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) would like to give clear message to the world leaders that:
1. National League for Democracy (NLD), unanimous victor of 1990 election, stands firmly on “Shew-Gone-Daing” Declaration of which all four main principals are equally important that needs to place in order to have true national reconciliation i.e. to release all political prisoners, to take place genuine dialogue, to revise 2008 constitution and to recognize 1990 election results.

Birmanie: La communauté internationale doit être informée
7 avril 2010 - bdcburma | Modifier
Birmanie: La communauté internationale doit être informée
Birmanie démocratique préoccupant (BDC) a annoncé aujourd'hui des appels de la communauté internationale à soutenir les peuples opprimés de Birmanie.
Birmanie démocratique préoccupant (BDC) se félicite vivement de Aung San Suu Kyi a conduit la Ligue nationale pour la démocratie (LND) de l 'unanimité le 29 Mars 2010, de ne pas réinscrire à Sham prévues junte concours 2010 de plan de match électoral qui sera légitimer le régime militaire en Birmanie.
Le régime militaire très tenue de l'élection en 1990 promettant qu'ils vont transférer le pouvoir à l'élection gagnante parti. Aung San Suu Kyi a conduit la Ligue nationale pour la démocratie (NLD) a remporté la victoire écrasante.
No.14/89 loi de la junte, "Pyithu Hluttaw la loi électorale», indique clairement dans le chapitre 3 section 3, que le "Hluttaw (Assemblée) doit être formé avec les représentants Hluttaw qui ont été élus.
Au lieu d'honorer résultat de l'élection 1990, la junte mis Aung San Suu Kyi en résidence surveillée et de répression sur les dissidents intensifiée. Au cours de leur règne de terreur, les gens de la Birmanie souffrent énormément. Junta jamais hésiter à recourir à la force brutale pour réprimer toute personne qui s'oppose à leur domination illégitime.
Aung San Suu Kyi a dit officiellement que «Que les résultats des élections générales de 1990 doivent être mis en œuvre est une résolution déjà prises par l'Organisation des Nations Unies. Nous savons déjà que l'Assemblée générale des Nations Unies a accepté l'idée que la volonté du peuple a été exprimée lors des élections générales de 1990. C'est quelque chose que nous ne pouvons pas abandonner.

Au lieu d'honorer résultat de l'élection 1990, la junte mis Aung San Suu Kyi en résidence surveillée et de répression sur les dissidents intensifiée. Au cours de leur règne de terreur, les gens de la Birmanie souffrent énormément.

U Win Tin: ‘We will still be here’
By FRANCIS WADE
Published: 30 March 2010
In an historic move yesterday, Burma’s main opposition party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), voted against registering for elections this year. Under recently announced Burmese laws, the decision means that the party headed by Aung San Suu Kyi will be legally abolished and no longer able to officially operate within the country’s political arena. Had the party agreed to register, however, Suu Kyi would have been expelled and the NLD would be forced to accept the controversial 2008 constitution.
Senior NLD member U Win Tin, who spent 19 years in prison for his political activities, tells DVB that the decision will allow the party to move around among the people more and “do things it hasn’t been able to do for 20 years”.
What is mood like within the NLD following yesterday’s decision?
Well Daw Aung San Suu Kyi sent a letter to the conference yesterday and in that she said that we will never accept this constitution and register under these unjust laws; we will never destroy the party by laws. That means that our party and its politics will still exist in our mind. So after the conference yesterday, the mood of the leaders from all over the country was one of high elation and they are quite happy because although we know that we are marginalised and our party cannot exist, we are going to go around the country and work for the people.
There is obviously concern about the future of your party. Where will you go from here?
Of course we are no more a legal organisation, but we will still be here. We will operate in four spheres of politics: first, we still have many organisations across the country and many party members so we will keep our solidarity and move around within the sphere of the NLD itself. Second, we will work with other democratic and minority forces because nowadays we have good relations with these groups. Third, we have a very good relationship with the EU, UN, US and ASEAN, as well as foreign media, and we will keep that relationship with the international community. Lastly, we have to work for the people. For the last 20 years it was bad; we really couldn’t any good for the people because of the oppression by the government. So now that we can no longer organise as a political party, we will move around the people and find out what we can do to help them, and this is something we haven’t been able to do much in the last 20 years.
The other factor is Daw Aung San Suu Kyi – she is the only figurehead that can solve the problems of Burma so the international community must pressure the junta to open communication with her and create dialogue between her and Than Shwe. Even though she cannot operate as a politician, she has the trust of the people and the international community so she will remain a great force within Burmese politics and we will stand by her.
With Suu Kyi under house arrest and barred from politics, do you feel the NLD needs an alternative to her leadership?
There are very few people who can reach the status of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, but now we have many young activists such as Min Ko Naing and Ko Ko Gyi [88 Generation Student leaders] who are growing mature and if the people support them they can become important political figures in the future. They are not an alternative to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi but they will have some political influence. Also general Tin Oo [NLD vice-chairman] is quite popular among the people and his support base is strong and his politics are good. So we are not disheartened by the lack of leadership, because Daw Aung San Suu Kyi will be living long and there are many young people and forces whom we can join together with.
You said recently that the international needs to combine action with its words. How should it now approach Burma?
[International leaders] should listen to Ban Ki-moon who said that the international community should respect the decision of the NLD not to register; that is very important. If they think we got the wrong resolution that lessens Burma’s chances of democratic change then we will have less support from the international community, but we need stronger international support. Even China is changing its mind about this junta because they failed to create political change and China wants this in Burma; at least in a nominal way.
Is there a time in the future when the NLD will unite with ethnic political groups and armies?
Yes of course. The NLD is the only political force which has a strong relationship with minority political groups. Up to this day we have a committee and we work together [with them]. We have trust among national political forces; of course we cannot send envoys out the mountains and the north of the country but we still have a good relationship with different nationalities, and they trust Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. This is the second sphere I talked about. We also expect to see some changes within the army because nowadays there isn’t a very good mood within it; they realise that they cannot go on for long with this junta. I think within this year there will be changes because of the transformation to the sham democracy and because the army leadership is getting old, and the living standard for troops is poor. If these changes do occur, then the army will rely more on political forces, such as the NLD.
Burma looks set to enter a new era of military rule. What can you say to people who might be losing hope of democratic change in the country?
People are tired of this dictatorial rule and they hope for some change. Their economic situation is worse and their day-to-day life is hard, so they naturally expect some sort of democratic change. I think there will be a big reaction from the international community if there are no traces of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi or the NLD participating in the political process, but with issues such as the Border Guard Force and growing international pressure, the army will grow harder and there will be harder rule under the guise of a democratic parliament. So I don’t think people can expect democratic change soon.

Even though she cannot operate as a politician, she has the trust of the people and the international community so she will remain a great force within Burmese politics and we will stand by her.
With Suu Kyi under house arrest and barred from politics, do you feel the NLD needs an alternative to her leadership?
There are very few people who can reach the status of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, but now we have many young activists such as Min Ko Naing and Ko Ko Gyi [88 Generation Student leaders] who are growing mature and if the people support them they can become important political figures in the future. They are not an alternative to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi but they will have some political influence. Also general Tin Oo [NLD vice-chairman] is quite popular among the people and his support base is strong and his politics are good. So we are not disheartened by the lack of leadership, because Daw Aung San Suu Kyi will be living long and there are many young people and forces whom we can join together with.
You said recently that the international needs to combine action with its words. How should it now approach Burma?
[International leaders] should listen to Ban Ki-moon who said that the international community should respect the decision of the NLD not to register; that is very important. If they think we got the wrong resolution that lessens Burma’s chances of democratic change then we will have less support from the international community, but we need stronger international support. Even China is changing its mind about this junta because they failed to create political change and China wants this in Burma; at least in a nominal way.
Is there a time in the future when the NLD will unite with ethnic political groups and armies?
Yes of course. The NLD is the only political force which has a strong relationship with minority political groups. Up to this day we have a committee and we work together [with them]. We have trust among national political forces; of course we cannot send envoys out the mountains and the north of the country but we still have a good relationship with different nationalities, and they trust Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. This is the second sphere I talked about. We also expect to see some changes within the army because nowadays there isn’t a very good mood within it; they realise that they cannot go on for long with this junta. I think within this year there will be changes because of the transformation to the sham democracy and because the army leadership is getting old, and the living standard for troops is poor. If these changes do occur, then the army will rely more on political forces, such as the NLD.
Burma looks set to enter a new era of military rule. What can you say to people who might be losing hope of democratic change in the country?
People are tired of this dictatorial rule and they hope for some change. Their economic situation is worse and their day-to-day life is hard, so they naturally expect some sort of democratic change. I think there will be a big reaction from the international community if there are no traces of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi or the NLD participating in the political process, but with issues such as the Border Guard Force and growing international pressure, the army will grow harder and there will be harder rule under the guise of a democratic parliament. So I don’t think people can expect democratic change soon.

'The Regime is a Political Rapist': Win Tin
Win Tin, a leading member of Burma's main opposition party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), likened the country's ruling regime to “a political rapist” intent on destroying the party that has led the pro-democracy movement for the past two decades.
“They want to strip us of our 1990 election victory so that we are like a 20-year-old girl, naked and exposed. We cannot allow ourselves to be raped,” he said in an interview with The Irrawaddy, explaining why the party chose not to contest this year's election.
The outspoken critic of the junta said that the NLD wanted the regime to re-open a dialogue with detained leader Aung San Suu Kyi and review the Constitution. But he added that the chances of this happening were very slim.
He also admitted that he and several other NLD leaders were naive to believe that the regime would introduce election laws that were flexible enough to allow the party to participate in the new polls.
“The election laws made it very clear that the regime doesn’t want Daw Aung San Suu Kyi or the NLD to have any part in the election,” he said.
The NLD decided last Monday that it would not participate in the election because it was required under a new party registration law to expel Suu Kyi and other members serving prison sentences. The party now faces dissolution for refusing to register for the election.
Win Tin said that the NLD leaders will ponder their next move at a meeting next Monday. He also stressed that the party is counting on the international community to send a strong message to the regime that its handling of the election is unacceptable.
“We know that they have limited power [to influence Burma’s political situation], but we want them to react and show that they know what’s really happening here,” he said.
The US and the UN expressed regret last week that the NLD was forced to make a decision that now jeopardizes the party's continued existence, but blamed the move on the Burmese regime's draconian election laws.
Meanwhile, Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya said earlier this week that “[the NLD] have every freedom to decide on their own affairs. So I honor and I respect [their] decision.”
On Wednesday, Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa visited Burma and told his Burmese counterpart in Naypyidaw that Jakarta expected the regime to “uphold its commitment to have an election that allows all parties to take part.”
Win Tin said that NLD leaders wanted to see more reaction from the region and beyond. “We want China, India and the European nations to speak up,” he said.

Burma: All about junta made crisis
Burma gained independence from the Britain on 4 January 1948. It shares the border with China, Laos, Thailand, Bangladesh, and India. The military has dominated government since General Ne Win led a coup in 1962 to 1988, first as military ruler, then as self-appointed president, and later as political kingpin. In 1988, student led the uprising and eventually managed to topple the one party rule led by General Ne Win. Another military came to power and gun down more than 3000 protesters. Due to the increase domestic and international pressure, junta promised to hold the election. In 1990, National League for Democracy (NLD) led by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, daughter of the Burma’s independence architect Gen. Aung San - won a landslide victory. The ruling junta refused to hand over power and instead put NLD leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, under house arrest.
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.
Burma's economic crisis continues to deepen under military rule. People earn on a wage of around $1 a day. Unemployment is rising dramatically every month while prices of consumer goods are escalating out of control. And the value of the local kyat on the informal market continues to stumble. Living standards of many Burmese are declining rapidly. One child in three under the age of five is already suffering from malnutrition, less than 50 per cent of children will complete five years of education according to UN reports.
In Burma, people face complete lack of access to basic social services such as health services, and water sanitation. Under the military generals, poverty has soared and corruption is growing. Burma spends less than $3 per person per year on health and education – well below the World Health Organization recommended level of $40 per person. The economic crisis and instability in Burma is driving waves of Burmese children into hard labour, begging and the sex trade. Burma is in the midst of a health and educational crisis.
The military maintains an extensive network of Military Intelligence (MI), informers, police, militias such as Swan-Arr-Shin and Union Solidarity and Development Association (USDA) members, ready to arrest anyone suspected of holding or expressing anti-government opinions in Burma. Laws have been established that criminalize freedom of thought, expression, association, assembly and movement, thus legitimizing these arbitrary arrests and continued to arbitrarily detain people across Burma for associating with opposition groups. These types of detentions occurred commonly and in most cases individuals alleged of such illegal association were detained, interrogated and many were tortured, without warrant, charge or trial.
The military maintained complete control over the legal system and remained unbound by any legislation or constitutional provision for a fair trial, due process of law or any other rights. Military government denies basic rights to due process of law, a fair and public trial in political cases. No trials of political prisoners were open to the public, and in many cases reported details of the case were not even available to the defendant's family; such as the reason for arrest, sentencing or location of the person detained.
Frequently the detainee is not informed under which section or article he or she is being detained. In addition, detainees rarely have access to legal counsel or the opportunity to obtain release on bail. The accused may be held for lengthy periods of time without any communication. Trials for political detainees are normally held in courtrooms on prison compounds, in a "special court", and defendants are given little chance to speak, are ignored when they do make statements and certainly are not permitted to properly defend themselves. Even after being charged, political prisoners are still denied the right to proper legal counsel.
Prisons in Burma are places where human rights violations and brutality are everyday realities. Abuses include prolonged shackling, torture, lack of proper medical care and insufficient food. Political prisoners face cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment in the prisons, or in detention centres. They also face torture after arrest and during interrogation so as to punish them and to force them to cooperate with interrogators. Political prisoners face both physical and emotional torture, often during long-lasting periods of detention after the initial arrest while they are isolated.
Children under the age of 18 are about 40% of Burma population. The military junta does not consider children’s development and welfare as a priority and used almost half of the state budget is spent to the arm, leaving very little for the vital education and health care systems. Decades of military mismanagement of the economy has resulted in an appalling economic situation and is forcing the vast majority of parents to rely on the contribution of their children working in order to feed their families.
The worst forms of child labour can be seen in Burma –in the army, the construction industry, domestic work, and the mines or in different places. Children are by no means exempt from the forced labour imposed on hundreds of thousands of the Burmese population by military. Moreover, the military continues to forcibly recruit children into the army, some as young as eleven years old. There are 70, 000 children in the army and largest child soldiers in the world. Military forced young girls to serve as porters and sometimes rape and used them as sexual slaves.
The Burmese government spends seven times less on education than on the armed forces. Since 1990, government expenditure on civilian education has dropped by 70 percent, and the most recent statistics indicate that spending on education is currently equivalent to less than 1% of the GDP. According to World Bank figures, Burma’s military government spends only $0.28 per year for every child in a public school.
Following a sharp increase of fuel prices on August 15, 2007, prodemocracy groups led by students began a series of peaceful marches and demonstrations to protest the failing economic situation in Burma. The regime immediately responded by arbitrarily detaining prodemocracy activists. As popular dissatisfaction spread, Buddhist monks began leading peaceful marches together with public and the regime violently crackdown by shooting, beating and arresting thousands of monks, prodemocracy activists, onlookers and killing dozens. Currently, there are more than 2000 political prisoners in Burma and regime continues to arrest democratic dissident, torture and sentence to prison.
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. To avoid doing genuine dialogue with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the regime is using one of the delaying tactics- buying times. They are waiting for another crisis happen in another part of the world and if the crisis happens, the attention on Burma from international community will divert to that crisis and Burma will go back to status quo.

We want to make sure that our people enjoy security, enjoy freedom and they enjoy the right to advance themselves. (Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma's Elected Legitimate Leader)

Burma Democratic Concern (BDC): UNSC must implement “Shwe-Gone-Daing” Declaration
02 April 2010
Aung San Suu Kyi led National League for Democracy (NLD) decided unanimously on 29 March 2010, not to re-register the party to participate in the junta’s planned sham 2010 election due to its unfair electoral laws.
National League for Democracy (NLD), unanimous victor of 1990 election, stands firmly on “Shew-Gone-Daing” declaration of which all four main principals are equally important that needs to place in order to have true national reconciliation in Burma, i.e.
To release all political prisoners
To take place genuine dialogue
To revise 2008 constitution
To recognize 1990 election results
By seeing this decision, legitimate leaders of Burma send the very clear message to the world that they honour the plight of the people who lost their lives in 1988 uprising, 1996 student demonstrations, 1998 student demonstrations, 2003 Depeyin massacre, 2007 Saffron revolution, the victims of 2008 Cyclone Nargis, the plight of ethnics people, the plight of the political prisoners and the plight of all people of Burma who have been suffering at the hands of brutal military regime.It also sends the very strong message that they respect the will of people who voted for them in 1990 election.
This is the time that UN should proven itself that it really can make difference.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi once said that;
• The results of these elections will remain valid until such time as the Members of Parliament elected in 1990 by the people have had a chance to get together and decide what the next step is going to be. The world has to make certain that the outcome of these elections is honoured.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi also reaffirm her position on UN that;
• We would like to see the UN standing very firmly by the General Assembly resolution* on Burma and to try to implement the terms of the resolution as quickly as possible. And we would like the whole international community to support the UN and this. (*On November 19, 2002, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution strongly urging the Government of Myanmar “to restore democracy and implement the results of the 1990 election and to ensure [...] without delay into substantive and structured dialogue towards democratisation and national reconciliation [...] to release unconditionally and immediately all political prisoners.”)
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) calls for world leaders to call for junta to allow convening people’s parliament according to 1990 election result which is tantamount to implementing “Shwe-Gone-Daing” declaration. Human rights abuses and humanitarian crises have been happening in Burma and long overdue to solve. Unite Nation Security Council must take effective practical action on military regime to stop killing its own people, to stop arresting and torturing political dissidents and to press to honour the 1990 election result in which Aung San Suu Kyi’s party win the landslide victory.
We would like to call for the United Nations Security Council to:
declare it won’t recognize junta’s planned 2010 election and its results
declare junta’s sham 2008 constitution as NULL and VOID
declare it will implement “Shwe-Gone-Daing” declaration as the UN road map for democracy in Burma

Chers Amis,

Le 29 Mars 2010, Aung San Suu Kyi a donné six points de rejet de l'analyse @ enregistrement des partis qui peuvent être latéralement traduit en directives pour les militants de la démocratie pour les appliquer.

(5) Elle aimerait dire aux gens qu'elle est attachée à la démocratie et continuera son combat.
(6) Elle ne veut pas reconnaître que la LND est abolie, même si elle est dissoute par le régime militaire
* Tous les peuples épris de justice doivent travailler à mettre en œuvre tous les 4 directeurs principaux de «Montrez-Gone-Daing" Déclaration.

• déclarer qu'il ne reconnaît pas les juntes Prévu 2010 élection et ses résultats
• déclarer simulacre junte 2008 Constitution nulle et non avenue
• déclarer qu'elle mettra en oeuvre "de Shwe-Gone-Daing" déclaration comme la feuille de route des Nations Unies pour la démocratie en Birmanie
• déclarer qu'il reconnaîtra Aung San Suu Kyi a conduit CRPP comme le gouvernement légitime de la Birmanie si le gouvernement intérimaire devrait être formé
