6^th month memorial day of September 2007 Saffron revolution

Dear all readers ;

As you all know, today is 6^th month Memorial Day of saffron revolution.

The September ’07 demonstrations lead by the Buddhist clergy and fully supported by the overwhelming majority of the citizens, was brutally crushed by the military. This fact was well established through print and television media around the world.

Although monks in the past, during the colonial period of the British, and the Japanese occupation in 1942-45, were killed because of their involvement in political matters, never in the history of the Burmese people, have so many Buddhist monks been brutally killed, beaten, and shown absolute disregard by those in power who are, and call themselves Buddhist. It is a sad and dark chapter of Burma’s history indeed.

Images of the saffron’s peaceful revolution will never disappear, not only in our minds but also in the minds of people from all over the world.

We believed, everybody could not forget 2007 September. Some monks and people died in that action. Some are still in prison .Most of people in Burma are living in fear with loss of their rights, in poverty and survive on a daily basis in economic crisis.

Although, the top generals and their concerns are unbelievably rich ,there are nearly 2 millions people living around the border area and refugee camps. Some ethnic people were forced to migrate from their homes and some people migrate in such of batter life. At least 70% of children lost their right to an education . How ever, SPDC says situation in Burma is improving a lot. Facts and data show Burma’s people are still suffering for many weaknesses such as lack of health care, education, social welfare and loss of right to speak and write. They are afraid to express their sufferings of SPDC doing .For example , raising the all prizes, taxes, illegal tax like forced donation for SPDC work, porter revenue, forced volunteers labor revenue etc. They struggle for their survival with a small amount of income or salary. Not only poor people but also lower positioned soldier’s families are face with starvations.

But now, SPDC moved toward referendum under the steps of their road map. Burmese people and world society realize the referendum can’t solve the problems in Burma. .We need more effective action from world society ,especially UN. But only the criticize is not enough to change. Unfortunately ,we don’t have more time to wait because of SPDC announcements 1/2008 and 2/2008 .For pointed out two ways for our people.

“ Well we and the generations to follow us be in a state of servitude under the military regime or will we stand up against it ? ”

It is time to show people what we desire . We want people to realize their future is in their hands. We can do many campaigns to dismantle SPDC dictatorship. It is time to realize that only the people power can force out the dictatorship.
