The hacking of Bangladeshi websites including its largest online news site bdnews24.com has triggered the war, which is expected to again speed in days to come.

The maritime dispute between Myanmar and Bangladesh was settled last month through the delivery of a landmark verdict by United Nations International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea on March 14. It provided Bangladesh with its claims to a full 200 nautical miles exclusive economic zone in the Bay of Bengal along with a substantial share of the outer continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles. Some experts later reasoned that through the verdict, both nations have been facilitated.

However, building up on the verdict's outcome, among other reasons, a war in the cyberscape may soon gain speed between hackers of both countries, following an onslaught by Myanmar hackers, this past week.

The fact was noted on the night of April 11, when the largest online news site in Bangladesh, bdnews24.com, was allegedly hacked. The site could not be accessed by readers for almost 15 minutes till early minutes of April 12. The home page of the site mentioned the name of the hacker and his occupation, while implying that he is from Myanmar.

According to the web information company Alexa, bdnews24.com is the eighth most popular site in Bangladesh and holds a global rank of 2,030. While talking to rediff.com on April 12, Yasir Riad, a software engineer of bdnews24.com tried to downplay the allegations of hacking, when he reasoned that there was probably a virus in the server.

Bangladesh cyber army sources alleged that along with bdnews24.com, at least 40 Bangladeshi sites were hacked by a group of hackers who hail from Myanmar. "There were at least three Bangladesh government websites in this list," claimed a BCA representative to rediff.com on April 12.

Some of the hacked Bangladeshi sites include digitalinnovationfair.info, nondonfood.com, islamictv.com.bd, insourcebd.com, krishibidgroup.org.bd, bist.edu.bd, tcb.gov.bd, visionbd.com, kutirnirman.com, voreralo.org, acc.edu.bd and more. A few of these sites had a post mentioned that these were hacked by Myanmar Hackers Uni Team.

The BCA representative explained that such form of mass hacking or hacktivism occurs when a group of hackers want to press home a certain cause. "The Myanmar hackers basically tried to warn Bangladesh about the maritime dispute win and other issues that still has not been resolved between the two countries," he said.

Following the attacks, BCA claimed to have attacked a number of Myanmar sites from April 13. "We did not hack any of the government sites. We targeted a few sites including three hosting sites and some forums of Myanmar hackers," said the BCA representative.

He added, "Hacker communities of Pakistan, India [ Images ], Bangladesh, Sri Lanka [ Images ] and others are in communication with each other. So when there is such mass attack on a particular country or organisations websites, hackers of these countries usually are abreast of the causes behind it. But as Myanmar is fairly new, they are not in contact with the global hacking community."

The Myanmar-Bangladesh conflict once again brings to fore the efficiency of hackers in the South Asian region.

While India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka has had Internet over the past two decades, Bangladesh is a fairly late bloomer in the sector. Myanmar, on the other hand, is just growing.

According to the report 'State of Internet Usage in Myanmar' by Wai-Yan Phyo Oo and Saw Pyayzon published in July 2010, Myanmar has over 4,00,000 Internet users, which is 0.8 per cent of the total population. The majority of these users are based in Yangon and Mandalay.

"Hence it came as a surprise to us to see that hackers from Myanmar are doing all this," said the BCA representative.

BCA was itself a part of the cyber war between groups of hackers of Bangladesh and India in February, that saw the hacking of as many as over 25,000 websites on both sides of the border, in a matter of just four days.

The cyber war was initiated when Indian hacker groups, Indishell, Hindustan cyber army and Indian cyber army hacked four Bangladesh government ministries and the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh's websites on February 11, triggering a wave of cyber attacks from Bangladeshi counterparts: Bangladesh Black Hat Hackers, 3xp1r3 cyber army and BCA.

From February 11 till February 14, international media who covered the war claimed that over 400 Bangladeshi sites were hacked by Indian hackers and over 20,000 Indian websites including government sites like the Border Security Force's and numerous private websites were attacked by Bangladeshi hackers.

Although there was no significant destruction of data or financial loss reported on either side. Indishell, ICA and the HCA posted ominous messages to Bangladeshi hackers on the Bangladeshi sites, while, Bangladeshi hackers posted messages and images protesting the killings and torture of Bangladeshi nationals at the hands of BSF personnel at the 4,165-kilometer long India-Bangladesh border and India's construction of the Tipaimukh dam that is likely to have severe environmental affects on Bangladesh and adjoining areas of India.

Indian hackers stopped hacking Bangladeshi sites by February 14, driving some Indian media to dub Bangladeshi hackers the "victor". On February 27, BBHH declared "an end to their cyber attacks on India" on their Facebook page, taking the outcome of the two-day long talks between Home Minister P Chidambaram [ Images ] and his Bangladeshi counterpart Sahara Khatun at New Delhi [ Images ], as a positive sign.

At the home-ministerial level talks that concluded on February 25, Delhi assured Dhaka to bring border killings "down to zero".

A number of other hacking incidents in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and other countries of South Asia over the past few years have led most to identify a number of points behind the growing trend of hacking incidents in the region.

A BCA representative pointed out to this correspondent that hacking has become convenient in South Asia due to lack of proper security measures. "Of all the South Asian countries, India's web security is at considerably better standard, with Pakistan coming at second and Bangladesh's being minimal," he said.

He explained that as hackers use various proxy servers and, after each attack, the hacked server logs are cleared, "when cyber crime authorities check, they find that the server was accessed from various parts of the world," he said.

Such form of hacktivism has been popularised by Anonymous, an international hacking community infamous for the hacking of Ontario association of chief of police's website, high profile United States government websites, Sony, PBS, Vatican's website and others this year, while protesting various issues.

Mr Cameron correctly served notice to the military-backed government that such international concessions are contingent upon real democratic progress, both by making the announcement jointly with Mrs Suu Kyi, and by calling for a suspension rather than an outright lifting of the sanctions.

''I think there are prospects for change in Burma [Myanmar] and I think it is right for the rest of the world to respond to those changes.

''Of course we must respond with caution, with care. We must always be sceptical and questioning because we want to know those changes are irreversible,'' said Mr Cameron, who also held talks with President Thein Sein.

Mr Cameron's views will carry much weight with the 27-nation EU, which has already lifted some restrictions. EU foreign ministers will decide on their next steps when they meet on April 23, and it is likely that Mr Cameron's move was given unofficial backing by the international body before he left London.

It is also more than likely that Washington is on board with the suspension of sanctions.

All things considered, as long as Myanmar continues to make significant strides toward democratisation the suspension and ultimate lifting of sanctions is an inevitable and desirable consequence which should serve to speed along the reforms. At any rate, whether or not the West does business in Myanmar, many countries in this part of the world have long been doing so and will continue to, with Thailand at the forefront.

As has often been pointed out in this space and elsewhere, the desire to exploit Myanmar's natural resources is a powerful force for the opening up of the country. Whether the companies doing business in the future in Myanmar are British, Canadian, Chinese, American or Thai, it will be crucial for the Myanmar people to properly safeguard their own interests and their environment.

This will depend to a large extent on how representative the government truly is and on how much local participation is allowed in major development schemes before they are ever begun. The foreign governments and companies involved should be willing to encourage local participation, both because it is the right thing to do and also because it may help to head off problems down the road.

In Thailand we know all too well how major development projects that are pushed through with a lack of transparency can come back to haunt developers.

It seems very unlikely that there was much participation of locals in the planning of the Dawei deep sea port and adjacent industrial zone being developed by Ital-Thai and pushed by successive Thai governments, both ''yellow'' and ''red''. What we do know is that thousands of locals are being relocated for the project.

The deep sea port/industrial park will almost surely go ahead, and it may well be a great boon to the Myanmar economy and people, as the project's supporters predict. But as it is still in the early construction stages it is not too late to make changes necessary to protect the locals and, as much as possible, the pristine Andaman Sea environment.

As Thais we should ask ourselves how we would feel if a foreign developer were bringing a huge industrial operation to Krabi or Khao Lak. We should also consider that Dawei is not so very far from Thai waters, and pollution has no respect for national boundaries.

The Prime Minister secured a historic deal that will see the fighter aircraft dug up and shipped back to the UK almost 67 years after they were hidden more than 40-feet below ground amid fears of a Japanese occupation.

The gesture came as Mr Cameron became the first Western leader to meet Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese democracy campaigner held under house arrest for 22 years by the military regime, and invited her to visit London in her first trip abroad for 24 years.


He called on Europe to suspend its ban on trade with Burma now that it was showing “prospects for change” following Miss Suu Kyi’s election to parliament in a sweeping electoral victory earlier this year.


The plight of the buried aircraft came to Mr Cameron’s attention at the behest of a farmer from Scunthorpe, North Lincs, who is responsible for locating them at a former RAF base using radar imaging technology.


David Cundall, 62, spent 15 years doggedly searching for the Mk II planes, an exercise that involved 12 trips to Burma and cost him more than £130,000.

When he finally managed to locate them in February, he was told Mr Cameron “loved” the project and would intervene to secure their repatriation.

Mr Cundall told the Daily Telegraph: “I’m only a small farmer, I’m not a multi-millionaire and it has been a struggle. It took me more than 15 years but I finally found them.

”Spitfires are beautiful aeroplanes and should not be rotting away in a foreign land. They saved our neck in the Battle of Britain and they should be preserved.”

He said the Spitfires, of which there are only around 35 flying left in the world, were shipped to Burma and then transported by rail to the British RAF base during the war.

However, advances in technology and the emergence of more agile jets meant they were never used and in July 1945, officials fearing a Japanese occupation abandoned them on the orders of Lord Louis Mountbatten, the head of South East Asia Command, two weeks before the atom bombs were dropped, ending the conflict.

“They were just buried there in transport crates,” Mr Cundall said. “They were waxed, wrapped in greased paper and their joints tarred. They will be in near perfect condition.”

The married father of three, an avid plane enthusiast, embarked on his voyage of discovery in 1996 after being told of their existence by a friend who had met some American veterans who described digging a trench for the aircraft during the Allied withdrawal of Burma.

He spent years appealing for information on their whereabouts from eye witnesses, scouring public records and placing advertisements in specialist magazines.

Several early trips to Burma were unsuccessful and were hampered by the political climate.

He eventually met one eyewitness who drew maps and an outline of where the aircraft were buried and took him out to the scene.

“Unfortunately, he got his north, south, east and west muddled up and we were searching at the wrong end of the runway,” he said.

“We also realised that we were not searching deep enough as they had filled in all of these bomb craters which were 20-feet to start with.

“I hired another machine in the UK that went down to 40-feet and after going back surveying the land many times, I eventually found them.

“I have been in touch with British officials in Burma and in London and was told that David Cameron would negotiate on my behalf to make the recovery happen.”

Mr Cundall said sanctions preventing the removal of military tools from Burma were due to be lifted at midnight last night (FRI).

A team from the UK is already in place and is expecting to begin the excavation, estimated to cost around £500,000, imminently. It is being funded by the Chichester-based Boultbee Flight Acadamy.

Mr Cundall said the government had promised him it would be making no claim on the aircraft, of which 21,000 were originally produced, and that he would be entitled to a share in them.

“It’s been a financial nightmare but hopefully I’ll get my money back,” he said.

“I’m hoping the discovery will generate some jobs. They will need to be stripped down and re-riveted but it must be done. My dream is to have a flying squadron at air shows.”

As business opportunities explode after the relaxing of domestic and international restrictions, many doubt whether Burma's poor will benefit

The sweetly acrid smell of incense filled the hotel lobby, where a group of Chinese businessmen had converged to do a deal. Passing a small piece of wood around their semicircle of red leather armchairs, they lit it, sniffed it, analysed the perfume of its smoke, and argued loudly about its value. A traditional Chinese remedy for various health complaints, agarwood – or, more specifically, its incense – is worth more today than its weight in gold, and Burma is being touted as a potential exporter.

Thanks to Aung San Suu Kyi's landslide victory in Burma's recent parliamentary elections, in which her party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), won 43 out of 45 available seats, such business deals are increasingly visible around the country.

From hotel lobbies to street corners, where hawkers sell engraved silverware, jewellery and teapots dating back to when the British ruled this country of 50 million people, everyone is eager to tap into what many have called the last frontier.

"Here in Burma, anything and everything can and will happen," said Stephen Lee, a Chinese-born businessman who made his wealth in Australian property before moving to Rangoon in 2010 to start a chain of businesses. "This is the last untapped country, the last frontier, so everyone is jumping on the bandwagon, in every industry that you can dream of."

Lee's own investments range from property and overseas trading to travel agencies, English-language schools and business consulting – and next, possibly the sale of agarwood, he said.

Rangoon's few business-oriented hotels – bastions of modernity in a city of crumbling buildings streaked with mould and the black stains of diesel fumes – have seen a continual turnover of international business people since President Thein Sein took office in 2011 and implemented unprecedented reforms, from the release of political prisoners to the relaxation of censorship and business ownership laws.

Now that the 1 April byelections have been widely assessed as a positive first step on Burma's apparent road to democracy, economic opportunities are expected to grow, with the US relaxing sanctions, the EU expected to follow suit, and Burma chairing the Association of South East Asian Nations (Asean) in 2014.

Property prices, as well as hotel rates, have rocketed, and tourism – once considered an activity of only the most determined traveller – has doubled since 2010 and is expected to increase by 30% annually, according to official figures.

Catering for the new visitors, English-language business magazines have popped up, such as the soon-to-be-launched MZ+, directed at diplomats and corporate investors. The brainchild of editors at the Burmese news agency Mizzima, MZ+ will charge $19 (£12) a month for its weekly 40-page content, ranging from politics and lifestyle to investment and tourism. It will be far too pricey for the average local buyer, but "it's not for locals" anyway, says its editor-in-chief, Sein Win. "This is for international businessmen who are looking to invest in things like mining, tourism and real estate, and need information catered to them in English."

Burma is also having a cultural awakening. At a recent international evening of jazz at the colonial-era Strand hotel in Rangoon, locals in longyis toe-tapped along to classical Burmese renditions of John Coltrane's Afro Blue and Miles Davis's So What, played by twentysomething musicians in jeans from the Myanmar National Orchestra and other local ensembles.

The Myanmar Meets Europe evening was sponsored by the German embassy – German musicians had gone to Rangoon to hold a workshop with Burmese students, many of whom will play in Germany in May.

"The crowd tonight is good," said the double bass player Kyaw Zin Htet, 20. "People here don't really like jazz, but that's changing. It's hard [for us] to get used to the improvisation involved. It took me two years to like it myself."

In art galleries downtown, change is also afoot. Up a dusty staircase at Pansodan art gallery, the influx of visitors to Burma has seen painting sales increase by 300% in four years, said the gallery's founder, Aung Soe Min. This in turn has inspired local Burmese buyers to reinvest in an art form that was used less for culture and more for propaganda purposes under the military regime.

With Thein Sein's recent relaxation of unionisation regulations, local artists have been able to create an independent artists' alliance, and plan to form an art colony and museum of contemporary works in the coming months.

"For me, the opening up [of Burma] is really good for our culture and our community," said Aung Soe Min. "But I'm also afraid how healthy our culture can remain, because as we become industrialised … we find ourselves facing two things: social and political freedom, and the forces of capitalism and materialism."

Aung Soe Min pointed to the gallery's crowded walls, where images of gilded monks hang next to expressionist themes of liberty and censorship, many of them featuring Aung San Suu Kyi.

"The tourist market is interested in beautiful paintings of markets and monks, and most galleries, four years ago, were aimed at this market," he said. "But that's craft, not art. With the alliance, we want to give a space for artists to explore their own creativity, to explore their true feelings."

For the 25-year-old rapper Nay Zaw, who sprang to fame for his NLD campaign rap Wake Up Myanmar, Burma's reintroduction to the world is a double-edged sword. "If you look at places where there is so much change already, like Mandalay, you see that all of these businesses opening up, all of this change, is from one group: the wealthy," he said.

"The rest of Myanmar is still so poor. The money doesn't spread."

The full effect of such an economic awakening is unknown. Numbers here are wildly elastic (even the exact population is unclear). Critics warn that Burma stands to lose not only huge swaths of natural resources – from timber to gems and oil and gas – but also its culture and peace of mind as it opens up borders that had been heavily restricted for 50 years.

Like Nay Zaw, they say many changes will not benefit most of the population, 70% of whom live in the countryside and work in agriculture.

Davie Channon of the Rangoon-based British Council – which will this year spearhead the first teacher-training programme with the Burmese ministry of education since sanctions were first imposed in 1988 – sounded a note of caution over the motives behind this opening up.

"We need to ask, is this a genuine commitment to change, to democracy, to human rights?" he said. "Or is it an attempt to get the sanctions lifted so that more business, more investment will flow in, and certain people who are already in a position of advantage and privilege will gain even more?"

Those who stand to gain directly from Burma's open borders say the wealth will trickle down as businesses hire local staff and more Burmese move from the countryside to work in industries in the cities.

In a nation known for being shy but sweet and gentle to visitors, however, there are fears that once the Burmese see just how much foreign investors are reaping from their country, they may not stay nice for too long. "Well," Lee said, "I guess that's the price you pay for progress."
Election's hip-hop hero


Unlike many other hip-hop artists, Nay Zaw TH-Z does not call himself a gangster. The word he chooses instead is rebel – for it is his voice, his lyrics and his beats that helped galvanise Burma to "wake up, wake up" and believe that "we are the vote, and we will win" the byelection that saw Aung San Suu Kyi's party win 43 seats on 1 April.

With its rollicking beats and galvanising vocals, Nay Zaw's campaign song, Wake Up Myanmar, could be heard nationwide in the days leading up to the vote. In Rangoon, Aung San Suu Kyi's party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), blasted the song through loudspeakers on campaign trucks that barrelled through the colonial city, enticing people to come out on to the pavement and sing and dance along in the streets.

The song propelled the 25-year-old self-taught musician to national stardom nearly overnight and has been credited with helping get thousands of Burmese to the polling booths in the election, which many consider a milestone after nearly 50 years of military oppression.

Despite his newfound popularity, however, Nay Zaw has found that many of his long-time collaborators have cut their ties with him – fearing political repercussions.

"Most everyone is happy [Aung San Suu Kyi's party] won, but in the music world, people can't believe I wrote a song about the NLD," he says. "No one wants to get involved with politics because they run a risk, especially if they have the government's support as a musician."

Nay Zaw's uncertain future is representative of the changing climate in Burma itself, where new freedoms may not be so free after all. Zayar Thaw, one of Burma's best-known rappers, who spent three years as a political prisoner and has just been elected to parliament, says only time will tell what lies ahead: "Burma is changing, and it's changing very fast. I am very surprised and a little bit nervous, to be honest."

BROUK President Tun Khin interview with (BBC Radio 5 LIVE) regarding suspension of sanctions & Rohingya human rights in Burma.

“The Rohingya political party leaders from  2010 general election who attended the meeting, Abu Taher from National Democratic party for Development (NDPD).”

“Abu Taher highlighted the situation on Rohingya people of Arakan who are facing recently on – force labors, extortion, health, education, movement restriction, marriage restriction, religious persecution, unprecedented taxation, arbitrarily arrest and land confiscation- with recent report and appeal letter of NDPD to Burmese government which mention to find a solution about Rohingya issue of Arakan,” according to a Rohingya elite from Rangoon.

Abu Taher is Central Executive member, Head of Political Bureau and Research and development. He won from People’s Parliament, Buthidaung Township in 2010 election.

Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK President Tun Khin was interviewed by BBC World for British Prime Minister David Cameron visit to Burma on 13th April 2012 to get views on possible Sanctions suspension.

Unless the EU sets benchmarks for real and irreversible change, the Burmese government will assume it's business as usual


For many decades, Burma seemed to be stuck in an endless cycle of suffering. Every 10 years or so there would be an uprising, which would then be brutally crushed. My own father was involved in those uprisings, and was jailed for his role in them. It seems like this cycle has been broken at last. My father and hundreds of other political prisoners have been released. Byelections have seen Aung San Suu Kyi win a seat in parliament at last.

The pace of change has been fast, but the international response faster. David Cameron has now secured the agreement of Aung San Suu Kyi that, except for the arms embargo, EU sanctions against Burma should be suspended. This is a significant shift in strategy, and a potentially risky one. In the past the policy has always been to relax sanctions in return for positive steps taken. Now the policy has been reversed, suspending sanctions before change, in the hope it will encourage further reform.

While the public talk is positive, it may be that Aung San Suu Kyi and the British government are concerned that the pace of change may falter, and are taking a gamble to try to keep momentum going. Not one of the benchmarks set by the UK and EU for the lifting of sanctions have been met. The unconditional release of all political prisoners has not happened. Hundreds of political prisoners remain in jail, and most of the prisoners who were released were not released unconditionally. Conflict has not ended. Attacks against ethnic minority civilians by the Burmese army have continued, resulting in horrific human rights abuses. And the byelections were not free and fair, even though the National League for Democracy did win almost all the seats they competed in.

There is no doubt that the military-backed government wants sanctions lifted. This is a big reason why changes have been taking place. There is now no way president Thein Sein can continue to complain that he has been making changes that haven't been rewarded by the international community. The next step is up to him. The danger, though, is that now they have got what they want, they could slow or even halt the pace of reform.

Unless the EU sets a clear timeline for reform, the Burmese government will assume the suspension will become permanent. Therefore, the EU should set benchmarks for real and irreversible change. They have called for the unconditional release of all political prisoners, but should also demand the repeal of the repressive laws that put them there in the first place. As my father says, any time the government wants, it can send him back to jail. I'm still very scared this could happen.

The EU has called for an end to ethnic conflict, but ceasefires without a political solution to the root causes of the conflict won't bring lasting peace. The EU must ensure there is a real dialogue with ethnic representatives, which will lead to constitutional change.

The EU called for free and fair elections, but these are impossible because of electoral, censorship and security laws in Burma. These need to be repealed for free elections to be possible.

And finally, there must be an inclusive dialogue process which leads to legal and constitutional change. So far all changes have been top-down decisions by the president, with some communication with Aung San Suu Kyi. Other political groupings have not been included in any genuine dialogue process, nor have ethnic representatives. Burma's current constitution gives the military control over every level of government. Until this is changed, reforms won't be irreversible.

The EU used to review sanctions on Burma every six months rather than annually, and should now return to this timeframe. If benchmarks are not met, there should be no delay in starting to re-impose sanctions.

There have been changes in Burma, and these must be recognised and rewarded, but no political prisoner should be left behind in appalling conditions in jail. No mother should fear soldiers shooting her children, or being raped by them. These things are still going on in Burma, and until they end, sanctions still have a role to play.
