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!
