re-opened and unions be allowed to function where student issues can be
settled amicably through consultation.

knowledgeable scholars.

persisted and pressed on till they succeeded
For this purpose and at this time that is so close to the year 2000, we
emphatically urge all. including members of the Tatmadaw (army), all
citizens and peoples of all the nationalities regardless of class or status,
