Lt-Gen Yawdserk,Rebel leader warns Naypyitaw: No more ceasefire violations
More violations by the Burma Army of the ceasefire agreement may end up in the collapse of the treaty, said Lt-Gen Yawdserk, leader of the Restoration Council of Shan State / Shan State Army (RCSS/SSA) on Monday, 5 November.
“The army and the government should not be at cross purposes,” he said. “They also need to do everything to help the people so they (the people) can get over the army’s past excesses. Last but not least, political dialogues need to begin as soon as possible. That is how trust and peace can be built.”

He saw not much progress since he first meet President Thein Sein’s “Minister Without Borders” U Aung Min in Chiangrai on 19 November 2011. “We have been attacked 32 times during the past year,” he said. “1,000 families of our fighters have been waiting to move into the Mongtaw-Monghta area for resettlement (as agreed in January). But 60 of our men sent to make preparations for the move have not been allowed to go anywhere.
“On the drug front, no (practical) agreement had been reached at the Tachilek meeting (on 28 October).”
He said since it was the government that had made the first call for peace, it rests primarily on the government’s shoulders to make trust and peace a reality.
The picture is not altogether gloomy, according to his earlier statements. On the brighter side, all groups that have entered truce with the government have acknowledged the opening of liaison offices in sensitive areas, the holding of public consultations on the peace process and the freedom to call on authorities when there are problems have been useful.
“Ceasefire and peace have always been shattered by the government’s side,” he pointed out. “Just take a look at the fighting against the Shan State Army (SSA) North and Kachin Independence Army (KIA). They were not started by the SSA or the KIA, but by the government’s side.”
The two sides are due to meet again sometime this month. “The venue may be Taunggyi (Shan State capital),” he told SHAN. “But the date is yet to be fixed.”
On the other hand, U Aung Min, also Vice Chairman of the Union Peacemaking Work Committee, has always said his peace missions are not funded by the government, that they were from his “own pockets”. The first payment for his work, Euro 700,000, appeared to have come only during the visit of the European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso last week. It will reportedly be followed by another 30 million euros for the country’s peace process in the upcoming year.

Burma_Myanmar: Muslim rebels kill one capture three from burmese army
Novemebr 7.2012
Tun Tun
Maungdaw: Muslim rebels have reportedly killed one soldier and captured three others in their guerrilla offensive against the Burmese army in northern Maungdaw Township on Burma’s western frontier.
A source close to the army said the Muslim rebels attacked a team of the Burmese military construction unit known as GE that has been constructing the Bangladesh-Burma Friendship Road in Nasaka Area (1) in Maungdaw around 6 pm on Tuesday.
Kyaw Kyaw Wai, a machinist of the BE team, was killed on the spot while three soldiers including sergeant Khin Moe Aung were captured alive and taken away by the rebels.
The Burmese side alleges that the rebels are of the Rohingya Solidarity Organization, but no independent confirmation is available yet.
A local resident from Aung Tha Pyay Village in Nasaka Area (1), who witnessed the incident, said three soldiers captured and taken away by the rebels are presumed to have been executed as well.
“The armed rebels opened fire at the worksite about the end of working time around 6 pm yesterday. The soldier of the construction team was killed by their shots and the remaining 13 soldiers ran away from the site. Three of them were captured and taken away by the rebels. They are still missing and believed to be executed”, said the resident.
The construction site that was attacked by the rebels is situated 40 miles northwest of Maungdaw main town on Bangladeshi border. The rebels are said to have launched a sudden guerilla attack and then pulled back from the site.
A Buddhist monk from a nearby village also said that attacks took place at the construction site near the border pillar (1), (2) and (3) in upper Aung Tha Pyay area and that there was another clash that lasted for five minutes around 9 pm after the soldiers from Taungbro arrived in the area.
“There was then a religious ceremony held by the army at Mee Tike Village in Nasaka Area (3) and most of the soldiers in the area were gathering at the ceremony. So, the rebels got a good chance to launch an attack on the construction team”, added the monk.
Local authorities are also said to have arrived to inspect the site of the attack on Wednesday morning.
It is the first time an armed clash between the Burmese army and an insurgent group has occurred in the northern part of Maungdaw in Arakan in many years.
It is learnt that the LIB-(353) is also sent to step up the security in the area.
