Burmese Junta Tends to Dominate Ethnic Groups For Its Own Purposes !

         27 - Nov - 98

 	Rangoon Post  - Burmese Junta Tends to Dominate Ethnic Groups And It
Own People For Its Own Purposes.  The ethinicities that make up Burma,
China ,etc. each strive for its own progress in its own way, but the
Burmese Junta tend to dominate the others for the well-being of their
own interests and finances.  

   The Burmese Junta lives safe ,well fed while the Burmese people and
their own soldiers have little or no food. The non-burmese groups are
even worse off.

   Lt. Gen. Khin Nyunt, first secretary of the SPDC, claims "nations do
not interfere in affairs of other nations and do not submit to
influences of others in their own internal affairs." is being two-faced
with this claim.  He claims others shouldn't interfere, but the military
tatmadaw has been influencing and attempting to control NON-Burmese
areas for over 30 years.  Thailand's former Ayutthaya, the Khmer region,
former kings within the Region of Burma, Laos, et.al. all have tried to
invade, control and influence the surrounding contries for centuries. 

   If Ne Win and the Tatamadaw never invaded and tried to control the
ethnic regions, many of the problems wouldn't exist and some, such as
the drug trade would exist to a much samller degree because of the
Kuomintang's roots in  and near northern Burma.

   If the SPDC is truly trying to wipe-out the legacy of colonialism,
then why do they continue to colonise and remove the ethnic groups just
as the Han dominated Chinese government has been doing for centuries ?

Some Big Nations Tend to Dominate Others:myanmar Leader

            Xinhua
            27-NOV-98

            YANGON (Nov. 27) XINHUA - Some big powers want to
            dominate other countries for their own interests, a senior
            official of Myanmar's State Peace and Development Council
            (SPDC) said. 

            "In the comity of world nations, each nation strives for its
own
            progress in its own way, but some big nations tend to
            dominate others for the well-being of their own peoples,"
Lt.
            Gen. Khin Nyunt, first secretary of the SPDC, told the
            opening of a special course for basic education teachers
            here Thursday. 

            Khin Nyunt, who is also chairman of the Education
            Committee, said: "The majority of the nations of the world,
            inclusive of Myanmar, do not interfere in affairs of other
            nations and do not submit to influences of others in their
own
            internal affairs." 

            "As members of the comity of world nations, they maintain
            friendly relations among themselves on the basis of equality
            and build their own nations relying on their own resources,"
            he said. 

            "That is the practice truly as a sovereign state in accord
with
            Myanmar's independent and active foreign policy, freely
            exercising its legitimate right to build our own nation
relying
            on our own resources in conformity with traditions of our
            country and nationality, culture and customs, to promote the
            interests of our own country and our own nationality," he
            added. 

            He said Myanmar had lagged behind in development
            because of armed insurgency, so the SPDC has been wiping
            out the legacy of colonialism and carrying out
nation-building
            works with momentum. 

            Since late 1988, a total of 17 anti-government ethnic armed
            groups in the country have made peace with the
            government. 

            The government said it allows the turned-in armed groups to
            retain their weapons for "self-protection and area-defense."
