RCSS-SSA meet Union level at Kengtung.mp4

Burma -Myanmar Army conveys apology to SSA

 

The Burma/Myanmar Army has recently conveyed an official apology to the Restoration Council of Shan State / Shan State Army (RCSS/SSA) after a firefight broke out last week in Pongpakhem sub-township, opposite Chiangmai’s Chiangdao district between the two, according to RCSS/SSA leader Lt-Gen Yawdserk.

He did not say when the official apology was given. “Gen Soe Win (Deputy Commander in Chief of the Army Services and Commander in Chief of the Army) also said an order has been issued to all the regional commands in Shan State to cease hostilities against the SSA,” he added.

The said fight took place 4 days after the two sides declared there would be no more clashes between them on 19 May evening following the signing of a 12 point agreement in Kengtung, Shan State East capital.

Shan leader Hkun Tun Oo, to receive US congressional democracy award

Hkun Tun Oo, whose party the Shan Nationalities League for Democracy (SNLD) won statewide in the 1990 elections, has been selected as a recipient of the US congressional Democracy Award, according to SNLD sources.

“The only problem is authorities have yet to issue him a passport,” said an SNLD member. “This will only hurt the government’s much-vaunted national reconciliation policy, if they keep on doing it.”

Besides Hkun Tun Oo, prominent leaders from the 88 Generation Students are also waiting for their passports.

If his passport is issued in time, Hkun Tun Oo, 69, who was released on 13 January after 7 years in prison, will be receiving his award on 18 June. He is also scheduled to meet other US officials between 19-22 June, said party spokesman Sai Lake.

Hkun Tun Oo’s father was Sao Kya Sone, brother to Sai Kya Seng, the last ruling prince of Hsipaw, who was immortalized in “Twilight Over Burma,” written by his Austrian consort Sao Thusandi aka Inge Sargent.

He, along with 8 other colleagues, were imprisoned for high treason in 2005 and was given a 93 year prison sentence.

Many Shans regard him as their legitimate leader, having won the 1990 elections in Shan State.

The SNLD re-registered as a party on 23 May.

Norway’s deputy FM to visit displaced Karen people

Norway’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Torgeir Larsen, will lead a delegation to the Bago regional town of Kyauk Kyi to meet with internally displaced Karen people today. A number of local Karen National Union sources confirmed to Karen News that the visit will take place today.

“They will leave from Yangon on Tuesday morning. The Myanmar government’s Immigration Minister, Khin Yee and the Karen National Union’s, Colonel U Htoo Htoo Lay will accompany Norway’s deputy foreign affairs minister on his trip.”

According to a KNU source, the delegations will look at the possibility of building villages for displaced people in the area and also discuss the issuing of identity cards for those people who currently don’t have them.

The KNU general secretary, Naw Zipporah Sein, spoke to Karen News.

“He [Torgeir Larsen] will first study the IDP situation in the area and later he will look at how his country will be able to help the displaced people.”

Naw Zipporah Sein explained that the detailed plans for helping the displaced people in the region would be coordinated by the Committee for Internally Displaced Karen People and a Norwegian project team. It is planned for the team to work together to organize support, food, building materials and agricultural help for the displaced people in the Kyauk Kyi area.

The KNU has opened three liaisons offices in Burma – Kyauk Kyi Town, Tavoy Town in the Tanintharyi region and Three Pagoda Town. The offices were opened to help the ongoing peace process between the government and the KNU.

Following his trip to Kyauk Kyi, Norway’s deputy foreign minister Mr Torgeir Larsen will hold a panel discussion with aid organisations, community based groups and reporters in Chiang Mai on 30th May about Norway’s government support of Burma’s peace building.
