very Wellcome!

I warmly wellcome the KNU statement about the term "Separatist".  This term
separatist only favour the military regime to brain wash the people of
burma that Burma might dissolve like Yugoslavia, if they do not protect
them.  It is a wise statement and I am very thankful for that motive.

sincerely

Htun Aung Gyaw
