US envoy meets with Aung San Suu Kyi

(AP) – 28 minutes ago
YANGON, Myanmar — A top U.S. official met Myanmar's detained democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi on Monday after expressing concerns about the legitimacy of the military-run country's upcoming elections.
Kurt Campbell, assistant secretary of state for East Asia, started off his two-day visit by saying Washington was deeply concerned about the political environment the ruling junta has created ahead of Myanmar's first election in 20 years.
Before meeting with Suu Kyi at a government guesthouse, Campbell spoke with senior leaders of her now-defunct opposition party who urged Washington to convey its concerns by getting tougher with the junta.
The National League for Democracy called for "tougher action against the military government by the United States and the international community," said Win Tin, a senior party member and a longtime political prisoner.
"We also told Mr. Campbell not to recognize the results of the upcoming election, which will be held without the two important elements — credibility and inclusivity — that the international community has demanded," he said.

NLD


By DVB
Published: 6 May 2010
Does today mark the end of the road for Burma’s main opposition party, the National League for Democracy, headed by detained Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi? The party’s decision to boycott elections this year triggered its dissolution and has split the Burmese pro-democracy movement, and tonight the Rangoon headquarters, long a bastion of the anti-military struggle in Burma, will close its doors for the last time. Four leading Burmese figures talk to DVB about the successes and failures of the party and its possible future role in the military-ruled country.
Zoya Phan – international coordinator of Burma Campaign UK and daughter of late Karen National Union leader, Pado Mahn Shah
The most important thing is that the NLD has always fought for the people. If you look at the past decade, the NLD always made decisions about caring for people and democracy, and I think the NLD made a very difficult decision to not participate in these elections. For the Karen and for ethnic people, we are in the same boat; we knew that this dictatorship’s elections will not bring any change in Burma – there will be no democracy, there will be no human rights – and the NLD knew this very well. I think the NLD made the right decision and I think the cycle will continue.
The important thing to remember is that the relationship between the NLD and ethnic nationalities has become better recently – for the ethnic people their struggle is not just for democracy but also for ethnic rights and the NLD has come to understand better the decision of ethnic groups. There hasn’t been any significant political success in Burma, but it’s very important that the NLD has maintained its principals for democracy. The NLD has handled military pressure very well; the military uses power to crush all opposition, including ethnic nationalities, ceasefire groups, warlords, and so on. The junta’s aim is very clear – to destroy democracy.
I was in Burma last month in the Papun area [of Karen state] visiting internally displaced people and I met with people who had escaped from mortar bombing by Burmese troops. I asked them if they were aware of the elections, and they had no idea – some people didn’t have a clue what was happening in different parts of Burma. Everyday they are trying to survive, fleeing to the jungle because their villages are being destroyed by the Burmese army. I told one of them about the elections, and asked if there would be any difference, and he said that they don’t feel anything at all, that anything will change except that the regime will increase its troops in different parts of Burma.

NLD Dissolve,

The National League for Democracy (NLD), for two decades the symbol of resistance against the ruling junta, was dissolved at midnight on Thursday under laws laid down ahead of elections.
The National League for Democracy (NLD) refused to meet a May 6 deadline to re-register as a political party - a move that would have forced it to expel its own leader - and boycotted the vote scheduled for later this year.
At the party's ramshackle headquarters in Myanmar's former capital Yangon, the 'fighting peacock' flag was still flying but party workers were packing up files and mulling new plans to focus on social and development work. 'We have decided not to take down our party signboard and flags as Daw Suu has asked,' said prominent NLD member Phyu Phyu Thin. 'Although we have no legal headquarters, we will continue our movement. Our people have sacrificed their lives... many of our party members and activists are still in prison,' she said
Dr Than Nyein to form New Party
Former NLD central committee members Khin Maung Swe, Dr. Than Nyein, Dr. Win Naing, Thein Nyunt, Thein Hla Oo, Soe Win, Than Win and 21 others central committee members will be registered National Democratic Force, at the Election Commission
PM General Thein Sein to form 'Union Solidarity and Development Party'
General Thein Sein and 26 others registered to form the 'Union Solidarity and Development Party' on Thursday at the election commission in the capital city of Naypyidaw, the Myanmar Ahlin and New Light of Myanmar newspapers said.

Press Error on Daw Su remark on Thailand current political situation

(Excerpts from Irrawaddy Zaw Moe article.)
Agence France-Presse on Saturday. Reported that Suu Kyi said : “Thaksin was an elected person. The military seized power from an elected person. The Constitution was drawn up by the military.”
U Nyan Win, Aung San Suu Kyi’s lawyer tried to clarify a controversial remark over the weekend by Burmese pro-democracy leader on the Thai political situation, saying it was a general conversation, not a policy comment.
U Nyan Win also said Suu Kyi did not mention Thailand's former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra during the conversation, as reported by Agence France-Presseon Saturday.
No media has had access to Suu Kyi while she has been under detention, and media reports on her thoughts and observations are gleaned from comments made her lawyer Nyan Win, who is allowed to meet with her regularly.

How the US should engage with Myanmar

By Wesley K. Clark , Henrietta H. Fore and Suzanne DiMaggio
Thursday, May 06, 2010

There is no evidence to indicate that Myanmar’s leaders will respond positively to the Obama administration’s central message.
The recently enacted electoral laws, which have been met with international condemnation, already point to a process that lacks credibility.
The US must ensure that its policies do not inadvertently support or encourage authoritarian and corrupt elements in Myanmar society. At the same time, if the US sets the bar too high at the outset, it will deny itself an effective role in helping to move Myanmar away from authoritarian rule and into the world community.

Given up uniform only.

(From AL Jazeera News)
More than 20 senior officials in Myanmar's military government have reportedly given up their uniforms in an apparent move to run as civilians in national elections expected to be held later this year.
The officials, including Thein Sein, Myanmar's prime minister, are all expected to retain their cabinet posts in the lead up to the vote.
Government officials have confirmed the move to foreign news agencies, although no mention of the change has been made in Myanmar's state media.
More ministers and deputy ministers are expected to resign from their military posts in the coming days.

SINGAPORE PM LEE HSIEN LOONG : MYANMAR IS A PROBLEM.

(Extract from interview with Charlie Rose in TV, Channel news Asia.)

LEE HSIEN LOONG:
Myanmar is a problem. They have a system. The government, the
military is in charge. The world has limited influence over them, and you
can’t change them short of going there and providing a government, which
the British did for a couple of centuries, but eventually they can’t carry
on.

So they have to move forward because I think many people in Myanmar
know that this is not a solution for Myanmar. Many of the people know that
the government is doing badly by them and resent it deeply. I think many
people know that this is leading nowhere and needs to change. I suspect
that --

CHARLIE ROSE: How about many people in the military?

LEE HSIEN LOONG: Included.

CHARLIE ROSE: OK.

LEE HSIEN LOONG: But I suspect a few key people who make the
decisions, they have decided that this is an existential thing for them.
If they’re out, it’s not just the country and the government has changed,
but where do I go and which jail will I be in and my children and my jewels
and my billions?

Among the injured 125 are men, 45 are women, and among the dead, five are male, three are female.
The United States on Thursday condemned ."We condemn any kind of violence that victimizes innocent civilians," State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told reporters.
Singapore also condemned. Foreign Ministry Spokesman said Singapore is shocked to learn of the bomb explosions and condemns the act of violence that took place on the eve of the Myanmar New Year, leaving nine dead and at least 75 injured

Ii is sad to hear this news. Whoever plant this bomb on what purpose? This time in Burma, people enjoy this festival with peace of mind even though there is lots of hardship in the whole year.

Singapore policy on Myanmar.

Singapore’s official diplomatic stance is that it wants to engage Myanmar and offer “input,” rather than pressure the regime.

Goh Chok Tong, Singapore’s senior minister and former prime minister, has said that Myanmar’s planned elections in 2010 must be inclusive, and that Aung San Suu Kyi’s
National League for Democracy (NLD) must be part of the process of national reconciliation
“our engagement with Myanmar must take a longer term view beyond 2010. Singapore sees the
army as being part of the problem but also a necessary part of the solution . . . [the solution] will take time.”

The situation in Myanmar has become more complex, and there are several changing
trends. It might have to recognize that a more principled approach is necessary.

Burma’ Ruling Generals Have Just One Birthday Wish: Maintain Complete Power

Excerpts from David Scott Mathieson from Jakata Globe

The junta is confident in its hold on political power, monopoly over the economy and near-complete neutralization of domestic opponents. The ideal conditions are in place to give the military junta its best-ever birthday present: continuing dominance over a future civilian parliament and continuing control of Burma’s 58 million people after the country’s elections, which are for this year. Everything the ruling junta, has been planning is methodically coming to fruition. The system it dubbed “disciplined democracy” is living up to its Orwellian name. And it shows no sign of changing.

The military in Burma is not a state within a state — it has become the state.
The Tatmadaw could well continue to thrive under a civilian system it controls. But the Army will do so at the expense of legitimacy, popular support and honor. And that’s exactly why this year’s elections have been so carefully arranged to ensure the right result. A free and fair election would most likely give the Tatmadaw its marching orders: straight out of power.

What did Singapore say

Singapore foreign ministry spoke man said that they are disappointed that the new election law have led to NLD party to boycott the polls, it will make harder for national reconciliation to be achieved.

UN and Australia have blamed the Junta for boxing a party into a corner.

Singapore will never use harsh words against the Junta as their policy is so called non interference policy. If the Burmese politics have so much adverse effect on ASEAN countries, what will they do? Will they keep the mouth shut?
