Burma’s Resistance Day
Japanese declared Burma, in theory, independent in 1943, as Dr. Ba Maw head of state. It soon became apparent that Japanese promises of independence were merely a sham and that Dr. Ba Maw was just a puppet. Burmese patriotic leaders founded the Anti-Fascist Organisation (AFO) secretly in August 1944 and was later renamed the Anti-Fascist People’s Freedom League (AFPFL). On March 27, 1945 the Burma National Army rose up in a countrywide rebellion against the Japanese. The Japanese were routed out from most of Burma by May 1945. Since then March 27, is commemorated as the Burma’s Resistance Day.
We will be celebrating the 66th Anniversary of the Burma’s Resistance Day.

Fundraising Food Festival
We believe that there are three main pillars; mass, media and money, which are equally important working for democratisation of Burma. We can clearly see that money plays the key role in democratisation of Burma together of the mass and media.
So, Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) is organising the Fund-raising Food Festival so as to raise money.
