Political Map of Burma - as the world sees it

Tug Of War of Democracy and Dictatorship

Since the end of WWII, the world's civilizations and political structures have greatly changed.In other words, the world has turned its head to crack down on the unfair behaviours, the negative concepts, and destructive implementations to remove the old morality and giant elements that were dwelling in the world currents. Hence, the UN Organization was formed and declared the special statements to take action leading and covering the new world, and became the top role of world politics. This was one time that democracy achieved the victory over the dictatorships of the world


"Licensed to Lie"

When SWAN issued the “Licence to Rape” report to the international community, it told a sad and true story of Shan State and Shan State peoples to the outside world. Later, the “Licensed to Lie” report of the SPDC appeared, and it rambles on slowly as though waking up from sin, and running with a limp, to shout their lie squarely, to the inside peoples of the so-called Union of Burma with a special hateful racist attitude.

Democracy the Shan Way

Myanmar junta leader says
democracy cannot be
hurried.
We can say that he is right
because...


Why is it very difficult and so delayed to shape and form “democracy” for the Union of Burma? Why is it that every activist and every organization, including the SPDC (current Burmese dictatorship regime), that are concerned and take responsible steps to develop democracy have claimed that their aims and agendas are campaigns for democracy for the Union of Burma? Why is it that every one of these groups love to name and brand their agendas and implementations are “for democracy”? Because the democratic system is the most popular system that the majority of populations in the world feel as the most civilized behavior and the most suitable system for every human community society in this current age of this human world.

The Sunday discussion program (11th Feb, 2007) for the 60th anniversary Union Day of Burma on DVB by the title of “why we dare not mention the word Federalism” becomes one of the most interesting topics and it gives us more thoughts for further discussion [Ref# 1]. This regards the ideas of genuine union or genuine federalism for the Union of Burma that almost all ethnic politicians and some Burmese politicians and observers view and analyze with optimism, as paramount to reform of the Union of Burma.

"Freedom Lovers Freedom Fighters"

All men fight for freedom,
The one who is an expert and is able,
Will take action by international statements,
If he cannot do this,
He will take action by legal Agreement,
If he cannot do this,
He will take action by demanding,
If he cannot do this,
He will take action with the revolutionary weapon,
If he cannot do this,
He will take action by physical motivation,
If he cannot do this,
He will take action by writing,
If he cannot do this,
He will take action by publishing,
If he cannot do this,
He will join with the other freedom lovers,
To do at least one thing that he can.
