Who do not want self-determination?
Burmese junta's Brig-Gen Thein Zaw and PM Thein Sein in a recent visit to Kachin State claimed some ethnics in the State do not support for the KIO's demand for a self-determination state. It is not surprise to hear from SPDC who use "divide and rule" policy.
Let me ask Thein Zaw and Thein Sein, if you know 99% of Burma's population hate or dislike you and SPDC. No one like SPDC. 1 % who support SPDC are your elites, cronies and families members.
KIO's demand is not to dominate other ethnics like SPDC does. Self-determination is the universal rights guaranteed by the United Nations.
"Self-determination is the free choice of the people of a given territory or national grouping to determine their own political status and how they will be governed without undue influence from any other national or country."
A good example of self-determination state can be seen in many places within a federal country in the world including China. For instance, Hong Kong and Taiwan have their own governments and their own political systems even though they are part of China. While mainland China is a communist one party rule, Hong Kong and Taiwan practice democracy, multi-parties system.
Hong Kong is part of China but it is like a totally different country. Under “one country, two systems,” Hong Kong has its own political system, legal, military, economic and financial affairs, including commercial and cultural agreements with foreign countries, and enjoys "certain rights" in foreign affairs.
It is so ashamed and ridiculous that Thein Zaw and Thein Sein say some citizens do not want "self-determination." Kachins are not alone to reject the BGF plan. KIO simply can not accept the BGF plan because there is yet no political solution or human rights that represent Kachin people.
Let me make clear "we want self determination = a democratic state government that represent the entire population of kachin State (Kachin, Shan, Kala, Chinese, Shan Bama, etc.) In another word, we don't want the Napyidaw (or any nationals not from Kachin State) to dominate people in Kachin State. Neither do other ethnic states.
Thein Zaw and Thein Sein never read books and never try to understand the meaning of self-determination or federalism. Or are they simply fooling around. It is so ashamed that these stupid generals dare to make such claims.
