Burmese democratic forces and friends of Burma around theworld,
calling for an immediate international intervention
for food and freedoms in Burma
May 29, 2008
Burmese democratic organizations along with Burma campaign
groups around the world are calling for an immediate international
intervention inBurma, reminding the international community that
this is the time to bring achange in the military-ruled
country.
And they call for formation of a coalition of the willing among
like-mindedcounties such as U.S., U.K., French, Canada, and
Australia, in order toadvance a collective interest in ensuring
safe and unhindered humanitarianaccess, as well as for promotion
and protection of fundamental rights and
freedoms for Burmese people.
They strongly criticize the United Nations and Association of
South East AsiaNations (ASEAN) for their repeated failure to live
up to the internationalcommunitys expectation in providing food and
freedoms for Burmese people,and for falling into trap the Burmese
military junta set.
Burmese have suffered again and again under repeated ASEAN and
UN'sgood intentioned but ill fated mediations. ASEAN and UN are
simply no matchfor cunning and cruel Burmese generals who think
nothing of breaking theirpromises. In the past, the end result of
the ASEAN and UN failures were only
imprisonments of thousands of political activists including our
leader DawAung San Suu Kyi. Some of those prisoners died in
custody. However, thenumber of deaths from the current crisis will
be a thousand times larger thanprevious crises.
Five days after an apparent agreement by the Supremo General
Than Shwe,there is no concrete result on the ground. There are even
more restrictions forBurmese donors let alone foreign donors. Even
Burmese ex-pat physicianswho are planning mercy medical missions
using their own resources aresubjected to a lengthy visa
process.
The regime is using police and armed forces not to help those
cyclone victimsbut to force them back to their villages without any
assistance. We know howthe regime is going to play the game. There
will be more meetings and openup a bit each time just to string
along the UN.
More people are dying everyday. This is time for ASEAN and UN to
admit itsfailure and let French, EU, US navy and international aid
agencies handle thesituation. At this time, the junta has extended
the house arrest of Daw AungSan Suu Kyi illegally after they
exhausted the five year period. They have notshown any goodwill
towards their own suffering citizens, political prisoners orthe
world community. There is no reason to believe that the junta will
start tochange as a result of more negotiation. Concrete effective
action, whose time

is way overdue, is the only recourse left.
We demand that UN and ASEAN stop the mediation NOW.
All the current available information from the international
experts indicates
that thousands of the cyclone victims are facing the second wave
of deathdue to the outbreak of diseases. UN and ASEAN have clearly
demonstratedthe world that they were unable to persuade the Burmese
military regime tosave the lives of cyclone victims. As such, we
request the Nations of theInternational Community willing to act
upon the principle of Responsibility toProtect (R2P)," to proceed
with their noble intention to save the thousands oflives before it
is too late.
