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).
