World Cup passion soldiers from a Burma Army battalion based on the Thai-Burma border were reported to have stolen Thai villagers’ buffaloes for TV and satellite in order to be able to get access to the World Cup match, reported by buffaloes’ owners.

The buffaloes were reported to have been taken two days ago and owned by villagers from Lug Teng in Piangluang Chiangmai’s Wianghaeng District, opposite Shan State South’s Mongton Twonship, where the base of the soldiers is located. The soldiers were from a camp near Pangkamkaw border base Mongtong Township, said an owner. “The number of buffaloes was 23.”

On 9 June, the owners were informed by a seiner officer from the camp to fetch their buffaloes. But to take the buffaloes back, villagers were told to bring one television, one satellite and one mobile phone to exchange the buffaloes as their livestock crossed over the Burma Army controlled area, said Pa Pee, whose 10 buffaloes were taken.

According to the officer, the buffaloes entered the area for 2 days. “Your buffaloes crossed over into our area. You all owners therefore must pay one satellite, one TV and one mobile phone for your buffaloes” she quoted the officer as saying.

“We gave them money. But they did not accept. They said they only want one TV, one satellite and one mobile phone because they need to watch World Cup match,” Pa Pee said. “We were told to bring the things before the World Cup time.”

One of the buffaloes owner said, “Our buffaloes can’t go across into their land. We have been feeding them for years. They have never gone over that side. It was just a trap because we saw the broken fences and footsteps of soldiers.”

Anyhow, 20 buffaloes were released on 9 June after the owners went to the base and guaranteed that they would give what they ask. And the rest 3 were released on the next day after villagers brought one 21 inches TV, one set of satellite and one mobile phone including money cards, said another owner.

“It costs almost ten thousands (10,000) Baht in total,” he said.

Tonight Mexico and South Africa will play the opening match.

Burmese and ethnic groups in Malaysia host unity meeting for 2010 election

On By Burma Myanmar newsIn BurmaLeave a comment

Malaysia based Burmese and ethnic groups have undertaken a campaign to provide opposition to the political parties participating in Burma’s 2010 election.
On June 4th the Malaysia based, National Leauge for Democracy (Liberated Area) (NLDLA), Arakan League for Democracy (ALD) and Zomi National Congress (ZNC) in Malaysia NLD held the meeting, gathering 18 leaders from a variety of Malaysia based Burmese ethnic groups including the Mon, Karen, Chin, Kachin, Kaya, Shan, and Arakan, according to Nai Sahai Mon, 2nd chairman of Malaysia Mon Refugee Organization.
“They want the ethnic people who live abroad to form a committee for [eventually] opposing in the 2010 Burmese general election,” Nai Sahai Mon explained. “But we didn’t use political words on the meeting [description] because we haven’t registered to act as a political party in Malaysia.”
According to the chairman of NLDLA, U Kyaw Kyaw, because of the current political situation, starting in May the NLDLA began organizing ethnic groups who live around Malaysia, who would not be able to attend the meeting, to combine and contact with other opposition groups inside Burma and give them support in anyway they can.
At the meeting leaders of the NLDLA, ALD, ZNC and many of the representatives of ethnic parties discussed what options they would have to make contact with political parties inside Burma. By aiming to strengthen inside groups campaigns prior to the election by uniting different otherwise not associated political parties, leaders hope that a federal democracy would emerge in Burma.
“The time has come to be united between ethnic [groups] and political parties who are aboard, so we must have to do this same movement together”, said Nai Sahai Mon.
U Kyaw Kyaw told IMNA, “The government now they are trying to divide the ethnic groups. If we were to follow what the government [wanted us to] do it we will remain far from democracy. So all ethnics and political parties should unite together. It is time to prove to the government how united we are together.”
