Description:
2009-2014. Plus actif. Groupe de soutien belge. Beaucoup de documents tres utiles sur le site. "De website "Actions Birmanie" heeft als ambitie de sensibilisering van het
Belgische publiek inzake de Birmaanse situatie waar het volk al bijna 40 jaar
lang ontzegd wordt van enige democratische inspraak en repressief onderdrukt
wordt door een militaire junta.
De website geeft een nadere verklaring van de politieke en economische
factoren op het Birmaanse toneel en tracht aan ieder de mogelijkheid te geven
om de Birmaanse democraten en hun leider Mevr. Aung San Suu Kyi
(Nobelprijs voor de vrede 1991) een helpende hand te bieden in hun
pacifistische strijd voor het herstel van de democratie.
Namelijk:
-door het verstrekken van informatie aan de toeristen die zich in dit land
wensen te begeven.
-door het informeren van het grote publiek van de akties ondernomen door
"Actions Birmanie".
-door het aanklagen van de aanwezigheid van ondernemingen zoals
TOTALFINA die de repressieve junta ondersteunen.
Actions Birmanie, le site
Le site d?Actions Birmanie a pour ambition de sensibiliser le public � la situation
v�cue par le peuple birman qui se voit depuis bient�t quarante ans d�nier tout
droit d�mocratique et est la victime d?une junte militaire particuli�rement
r�pressive.
Il explique les enjeux politiques et �conomiques de la question birmane
et donne � chacun des moyens d?agir pour aider les d�mocrates birmans et
leur leader Mme Aung San Suu Kyi (prix Nobel de la paix 1991) dans leur lutte
pacifique pour le retour � la d�mocratie. Notamment...
- en informant les touristes qui veulent se rendre dans ce pays
- en d�non�ant la pr�sence de firmes comme TOTALFINA qui contribuent �
renforcer le pouvoir de la junte
- en informant le public des actions entreprises chez nous pour relayer les
d�mocrates birmans
Enfin, il pr�sente les actions de diff�rents mouvements qui oeuvrent pour
la Birmanie...
en Belgique francophone:
- l?Action Birmanie Coh�rence qui milite au sein de l?UCL pour une politique
coh�rente de soutien aux d�mocrates birmans,
- l?Action P�trole ou Birmanie qui met en garde les consommateurs � l?encontre
du groupe p�trolier Total-Fina, sponsor principal de la dictature Birmane,
- l?Association des Elus pour la Birmanie qui regroupe des parlementaires
d�sireux d?apporter un appui � leurs coll�gues birmans emprisonn�s et qui
travaille � faire interdire par l?Union Europ�enne toute relation commerciale
avec la Birmanie...Actions Birmanie?s site aims at increasing awareness, among the francophone
public, of the situation of the people of Burma who for nearly 40 years have
been denied all democratic rights under the particularly repressive rule of a
military junta.
It attempts to highlight the political and economic factors at stake in the
Burmese crisis and to suggest means of actions to help the Burmese
democrats and their leader Aung San Suu Kyi (Nobel Peace Prize 1991) in their
non-violent struggle to restore democracy. These actions are, for instance
- To inform tourists who wish to visit the country
- To denounce the presence of companies like TotalFinaElf, whose investment
and presence reinforce the power of the junta
- To inform the public of steps taken at home to relay the message of Burmese
democrats
It presents the initiatives of different groups working for Burma..."

Description:
"A recent spate of bombings in Myanmar was attributed by police to local mining businessmen intent on stopping foreign investment. These rogue commercial elements were seemingly worried of the impact on their business interests.
The shadowy assaults, including a bomb that detonated in a room occupied by an American in the Traders Hotel, demonstrates just how complex the climate for investors is in Myanmar. It also reveals how opaque mining interests could derail the peace process underway between the government and armed rebels and jeopardize the country?s democratic transition.
Hype persists over Myanmar?s resource wealth, with the country gearing up for new waves of investment and new mining laws
predicted to shortly come into effect. A recent Asian Development Bank study noted that Myanmar could become Asia?s next "rising star" if it can leverage its rich resource potential. However, regardless of much optimism, difficulties remain and if not addressed could unsettle the peace process.
The most important issue for investors, but also populations living near resources, is the reform of legal and regulatory frameworks. The current uncertainty in these frameworks has undermined the investment climate. Similarly, land tenure must be defined and a sustainable agreement reached with armed ethnic groups for their greater inclusion into the democratic process. Greater transparency is also needed to boost confidence in local actors that remain entangled with military powerbrokers. If such a prudent approach is not achieved, resources could become more of a burden than a boon in the country?s transformation..."
