In the three months since Burma’s Parliament swore in a quasi-civilian government on March 30, the country has seen a significant increase in visits from foreign policy makers, ministers and diplomats.

Since mid-May, at least nine senior officials and delegations have visited Burma, including US Senator John McCain, a fiery critic of the country’s ruling regime; US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Joseph Yun; a high-ranking EU delegation; acting UN Special Envoy Vijay Nambiar; and Russian Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Alexey Borodavkin.

This doesn’t even include a number of visits by high-ranking officials from China, India and other neighboring countries that enjoy friendly relations with the capital city of Naypyidaw. Australian Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd recently became the latest to travel to the country to meet with government leaders and democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi. Still others are expected to arrive in the coming weeks.

Dear Secretary Clinton,

I am writing to inform you that, as of today, I have no choice but to leave the service of the
Government of Myanmar and I am formally requesting political asylum in the United States for me and my family. After over 31 years of service in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I had lost confidence and my conscience would no longer allow me to work for the government. It has always been my hope that democratic reform could finally be realized in my country. The truth is that, despite the election that was held up as a democratic process, the military continues to hold uncontested power and democratic change under this system will not happen in the foreseeable future.
 
Prof. Kanbawza Win

These words were taken from a poem by our beloved Bogyoke Aung San, father of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, during his university days when Burma was struggling against the British imperialism. Originating from the mythical bird Phoenix of Chinese, Egyptian, Russian and America’s first nations traditions, the architect of the modern Burma has skilfully designed it into a fighting peacock (Peacock at that time was the emblem of Burman/Myanmar nationalist), obviously no self style Farang Burmese expert could comprehend and often describe this flag of a strange bird. This mystical bird never die, it flies far ahead to the front, always scanning the landscape and distance space.

 A high-ranking Burmese embassy official says a lack of political progress pushed him to defect.The number two diplomat at the Burmese Embassy in Washington, D.C. has defected and is now seeking political asylum in the United States.

Deputy Chief of Mission Kyaw Win, 59, told RFA he made the decision to leave the government because he saw little hope for Burma’s future and because he fears “my life and those of my family are in danger.”

 Kyaw Win said that after Burma held historic elections last November, he expected the government to begin a transition to democracy. Instead, he said, nothing has changed and “the military continues to hold uncontested power.”
We, Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK (BROUK) welcomes the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) resolution no 4/38-MM “on the situation of Muslim community in Myanmar” on 38th Session of Council Foreign Ministers.

• Calls on Member states to extend all in possible forms of support and assistance to Burmese Muslims and particularly to those among them living as refugees outside their homeland.

• Calls upon on the government of Burma to put an end the operations of displacement, expulsion and exile of Rohingya Muslims and to the continued attempt to eradicate their Islamic Culture and identity, and urges Government authorities to respect the text of international legitimacy on Human Rights.


Mr Rudd said yesterday he had met with the country's new president, Thein Sein, and had made a personal appeal for the release of 2000 other political prisoners, telling him that doing so would transform international views of the new government.

He spoke to reporters during a stop-over in Singapore on his way home from a visit to Burma.

The government led by Thein Sein declared to the world that it was elected by the people in accordance with democratic principles; that his government has walked away from the previous regimes’ path and intends to bring back democracy to the Burmese people; and that his government will abide by the rule of law, which has been lacking in Burma since the 1962 military coup. For that reason we are demanding the following facts from Thein Sein’s government:
VATICAN CITY - TROOPS in Myanmar are carrying out 'ethnic cleansing' against the mainly Christian Kachin ethnic minority near the Chinese border, the missionary news agency Fides reported on Friday. 

Citing a local Catholic priest, Fides said fighting had forced 20,000 people to leave their homes so far and the number was increasing by the day.
Priests and nuns in the area 'are doing everything to help the ethnic Kachin refugees, almost all Christians, victims of a brutal repression carried out by the Burmese military', the priest was quoted as telling the Rome-based agency. 


Clashes began when the government struck an agreement with China on the construction of a dam in the northern region, which would force the evacuation and flooding of villages where the Kachin people live, Fides said. 

'They are women, children and old people who are at the mercy of the soldiers. These, when they meet the Kachin villages, carry out, for revenge, all sorts of violence, abuse and ransacking,' the priest said. 'They kill old people and children, rape women, burn homes, confiscate properties. They use ruthless methods to ethnic cleansing.'

The priest also said there was a risk of a 'humanitarian emergency' in the area for refugees out in the open as the rainy season approaches. -- AFP

The future of Aung San Suu Kyi and her amazing movement for democracy in Burma is hanging in the balance this week, and we could make the difference.

Suu Kyi has bravely called on the military regime to free the thousands of monks and peaceful activists still held in horrific prisons, some in cramped dog cages. Unprecedentedly, thousands of Burmese have risked their own safety to join her call for freedom through an online petition! Yesterday, the regime issued an ominous warning to Suu Kyi – and the Generals may be deciding right now between dialogue or another brutal crackdown.

Britain expressed strong concern on Thursday at the "menacing" attitude of Burma authorities towards pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, after she was told to stay out of politics.Burma's regime told Aung San Suu Kyi on Wednesday to halt all political activities 

Britain warns Burma over 'menacing' tone towards Aung San Suu Kyi "I am very concerned by the menacing tone the Burmese state media has taken towards Aung San Suu Kyi and the National League for Democracy," Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a statement.
"The authorities' warning that she will face consequences unless she plays by their rules is at odds with their message on dialogue and reconciliation."
"Aung San Suu Kyi should be able to travel freely and without risk to her personal security. The international community will be watching developments closely," he added.
Burma's regime told Suu Kyi on Wednesday to halt all political activities and warned that her planned first national tour since being freed in November from seven straight years of house arrest could spark riots and chaos.

George Rupp, President and CEO, International Rescue Committee
Washington, DC,  June 14, 2011

ASSISTANT SECRETARY SCHWARTZ: In fact, they have political solutions. You can solve the problem of the displaced – of the stateless Rohingya in Burma when you have a government in Burma that respects human rights and democracy, and that’s true with all the situations. But that doesn’t mean that humanitarians can’t play a role in promoting those ultimate outcomes. How do we do it? First with a canary in the coalmine, right? You can be sure when the – when Qadhafi was marching on Benghazi, humanitarians in the government were pointing out to decision makers what the humanitarian implications were going to be if he got to take over Benghazi. So we have a role to play. And we need to play that role in government as advocates, saying, look, if this happens, here are the bad things that are going to occur. So we have that role to play. But also we have this role, as George has said, in humanitarian situations where the superficial view is, oh, you can only provide assistance. But you can actually provide people with the tools to empower themselves. And if so, they can then begin to help create political solutions as well.

Dunkley convicted, freed by Burma court thumbnail

A Burmese court on Thursday convicted an Australian newspaper boss of assault and sentenced him to one month in jail but allowed him to walk free after taking into account time already served.
Ross Dunkley, co-founder of the Myanmar Times, the country’s only newspaper with foreign investment, was found guilty of assaulting a 29-year-old woman and of breaching immigration laws but acquitted on other charges.
In a case that some observers say highlighted the risks of doing business in the military-dominated country, Dunkley was arrested in February and held in Rangoon’s notorious Insein prison until he was granted bail in late March.

New Delhi (Mizzima) – A fight broke out between ethnic Chinese and local Burmese gem traders at a gem market in Mahaaungmyay Township in Mandalay on Monday. The Chinese were taken to a safe location, and the gem market was closed after the clash.

In Burma, many Chinese people own successful businesses. The recent incident and others like it have raised a question of whether there are racial problems between the Burmese and the Chinese living and doing business in Burma?

Mizzima reporter Te Te has compiled a roundup of views on the racial views of Burmese in Mandalay. In addition, he talked in depth with Dr. Hla Kyaw Zaw,  a Sino-Burmese affairs analyst.

While the world’s attention is focused on the ongoing tension in the South China Sea, rebels in Burma are creating problems for the western extreme of Southeast Asia.  Though never fully pacified, Burma has made modest gains in subduing -- or at least co-opting -- the various ethnic groups that challenge the central government’s rule. But the past few days have seen troubling signs that this relative tranquillity may begin to unravel with Kachin rebels in Burma’s northwest fighting a series of skirmishes with government forces. 

Ethnic unrest in Burma isn’t new and certainly isn’t surprising.
WASHINGTON,  (UPI) --

 Fulfilling U.N. rights demands is crucial to making Myanmar the democracy the ruling junta claims it wants, Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi told U.S. lawmakers.

Freeing the estimated 2,000 political prisoners held by the army government will show that the junta truly wants to create a modern, democratic nation, the pro-democracy activist said in videotaped testimony to the House Foreign Affairs Asia and the Pacific subcommittee.
Getting the military, which has ruled the country since 1962, to free political prisoners is a key demand of a March U.N. Human Rights Council Resolution.
Matthew Pennington, The Associated Press

WASHINGTON - The United States is prepared to have a positive relationship with Myanmar and seeks better international co-ordination in encouraging democratic reform in the Asian country, the nominee to be U.S. special envoy said Wednesday.

Derek Mitchell, who is currently a senior defence official for Asia-Pacific affairs, said that the inability of key members of the international community to co-ordinate their approach had undermined their efforts to press the government of Myanmar, also known as Burma, to free political prisoners and hold dialogue with its opponents.

AFP-YANGON — Myanmar's new military-backed government has warned pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi and her party to halt all political activities, official media said Wednesday.
The home affairs ministry has written to the Nobel Peace Prize winner saying her party is breaking the law by maintaining party offices, holding meetings and issuing statements, the New Light of Myanmar newspaper reported.

"If they really want to accept and practise democracy effectively, they are to stop such acts that can harm peace and stability and the rule of law as well as the unity among the people including monks and service personnel," it said.
 Gordon Brown, Former Prime Minister , UK

This week I spoke to Aung San Suu Kyi after, for the third time in a year, the junta refused me permission to visit her in Burma. She impressed on me the need for mass mobilization to demand the release of all Burma's political prisoners and asked that I and her millions of supporters around the world sign the global petition here. She has been liberated by our solidarity -- and she asks that we now apply the same pressure on behalf of the silenced thousands who remain in detention. 


U.S. Campaign for Burma (www.uscampaignforburma.org) For Immediate Press Release June 27, 2011 Media Contact: Jennifer Quigley at (202) 234 8022 (Washington, DC, June 27, 2011) 

The U. S. Campaign for Burma (USCB), a Washington, DC-based human rights organization campaigning to end crimes against humanity and the culture of impunity in the Southeast Asian country of Burma, today strongly urged U.S. Secretary of Treasury Timothy Geithner to take action on cronies who are providing economic and political support for the ruling regime in Burma, as authorized by the Tom Lantos Block Burmese JADE Act of 2008. The Tom Lantos Block Burmese JADE Act of 2008 authorized the U.S. government to impose targeted financial sanctions on former and present leaders and officials of Burma’s ruling regime, current or former officials of the security services and judicial institutions of the regime, and any other Burmese persons, who provide substantial economic and political support for the regime, as well as their family members. The Department of Treasury has added names and entities of the Burmese persons under targeted sanctions in its Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list. However, the cronies targeted by the Department of Treasury are much fewer in number than those who are sanctioned by the governments of Australia and the European Union. Many of the regime’s business cronies are still exempt from targeted U.S. financial sanctions.

The Australian government’s apathetic treatment of refugees and asylum seekers has long been a blot on its record – an irony given the historical make-up of the country and its rulers. Any hope that the new Gillard administration would reverse the hawkish policies of former prime minister John Howard, who championed the island gulags that hold thousands of refugees from Iraq, Afghanistan, Burma and elsewhere, has been short-lived – Gillard, herself a Welsh immigrant to Australia, is pushing ahead with a plan to send hundreds of refugees to Malaysia, one of only a handful of countries not to have ratified the UN refugee convention and which is therefore not bound by international laws dictating how refugees should be treated.

By John Pomfret ( The Washington Post)

The Obama administration decided Tuesday to support the creation of a United Nations commission of inquiry into crimes against humanity and war crimes in Burma, a sign of a tougher U.S. policy against a regime long accused of murdering and raping its political foes.
 
U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, also said the administration is considering tightening financial sanctions against the regime as part of an effort to force it to open its authoritarian political system and free thousands of political prisoners.
