Since the Burmese Junta Violated the Ethnic Groups Sovereignty, the
World Should Step in and Help?

Rangoon Post - July 7, 1999

  More than 45 years ago the largest of the 130 or so ethnic groups
between Thailand and India tried to put together an agreement and
constitution for the peace of all.

  But a secret military group assassinated General Aung San and many of
the 30 comrades.  The ethnic groups surrounding the Burman region of
Burma were being increasingly harassed and coerced by the Burmese
Military entering their territories.  

  Then in 1962, the military under Ne Win's leadership staged a coup and
took power and abrogated the constitution and the agreements between the
ethnic groups.  At this point many more ethnic groups were prepared for
this and took up arms to protect themselves, their people, their lands
and their freedom.

  During the next 30 or so years the Burmese military increasing invaded
these foreign borderlands and until today, forcibly controls what they
have no legal ownership or control over.

  Isn't then the Burmese military, the invading army?  The group
Interfering in other's Internal Affairs for their own purposes?  Just as
China has done over the centuries, the junta is doing now.
