<p>After the coup of 1962 the military regime hid Burma, particularly the Shan State
from the eyes and ears of the outside world to achieve what they wanted.
Journalists and foreigners were forbidden to enter the Shan State.
After immobilising all Shan leaders they dismantled the administrative system
and started Burmanizing the population. To do this Shan Society and their
culture had to be weakened so they adopted the divide and rule method by
creating enmity between the Pa-Os, Was and other races and the Shans.&nbsp; The
Shan State before the Military Coup had been
a cosmopolitan country and the many diverse nationalities had lived peacefully
together. The Military Government could not accept that the population of&nbsp;
Burma
is multi-ethnic with multicultural and multi- religious beliefs. Most of all
they could not accept the concept that all the nationalities of Burma should be
equal and given the same opportunities. Because of this inbuilt mentality they
are prepared to commit heinous crimes against humanity to achieve&nbsp;their
goal.</p>

			<description><![CDATA[<span>The Burmese Military Regimes, the SPDC and the SLORC have forcibly and illegally ruled over Burma for forty five years, and during their regimes have enforced their own law and ideology to kill and imprison anyone who opposes them, or kill freely people with different racial and religious background. They have subjected people to criminal acts that are contradictory to the moral principles of Buddhism, and the principles laid down in the United Nations Charter. They have betrayed and broken the rules held esteem by the majority of people in Burma. <br/>

			<description><![CDATA[Burma is a country of eight ethnic states: Burma Proper, Shan, Karen, Karenni, Mon, Kachin, Chin and Arakan States, named according to the most numerous ethnic national inhabitants in each area (however, in Kachin State, the Kachins are not the majority). The country&#8217;s history was made by a succession of different groups of people who migrated from Tibet and China, all of whom played a part in the country&#8217;s development.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The successive military regimes of Burma without the consent of the people of any of the ethnic states: Shan, Kachin, Karenni, Karen, Chin, Mon, Arakan and Burman, appointed themselves the governing body of Burma. Although illegitimate the United Nation has given the successive military regimes a chance to represent Burma as a whole.&nbsp; But as a government or representative of the peoples of Burma they have not honoured the pledge of the declarations of human rights and have in fact committed acts totally contradictory to those laid down in the UN Charter.]]></description>
