NATIONAL RECONCILIATION FORCE
STATEMENT 1

1. National reconciliation, democracy and peace are matters that is the 
concern of all the citizens. The prime objective of a nation's military 
forces should be for the benefit and prosperity of all the citizens.
2. To retain and prolong its reign, the SPDC military junta refuses to 
honour the results of the 1990 elections, has subjugated, imprisoned and 
killed activists of the democratic movement, and is now manipulating the 
people by arranging demonstrations to oppose and denounce the democratic 
forces and so cause divisions of the nation. We strongly condemn such 
activities.
3. We welcome and applaud the National League for Democracy for the 
formation of the Committee representing People's Parliament which for 
the last eight years has not been convened under various excuses and 
pretexts.
4. We urge the democratic forces, the nationalities organisations, and 
the people to unite and stand together and continue the struggle for 
democracy.
5. We appeal to the international organisations, and the people of the 
world not to give recognition to the military regime that opposes 
democracy and commits atrocities and violates human rights.
