1 KAREN REFUGEE COMMITTEE NEWSLETTER & MONTHLY REPORT AUGUST, 2010

2 Karen Refugee Committee AUGUST, 2010 When will the affliction be ended? Soon after Ne Win took absolute power of the whole country (Burma) in 1960, he invited all arm revolution groups for peace talk. Then, different arm revolution group with its own strategy tried to approach the call for the credit of its own objectives. Of which, the Karen Revolution Council (KRC),(not Karen refugee committee) among others then was the only arm group that finally reached and signed the ceased-fire agreement. No sooner a number of rules to follow were then regulated, similarly to that of the situation of DKBA and other split-up groups are facing to day. The rules for arm - group to follow when in the set location then were- (1) No organizational activity was allowed (2) No tax collection was allowed (3) No administration activity was allowed (4) Keep informs regional authority before leaving out side the set location. At the beginning every thing seemed all right. Food and ration were provided. Stipend was paid. It was a never experienced opportunity contradicts to that of lives while living in the jungle. The top leaders were respectively given a home and a car and were welcome for living in Rangoon at konmyint tha ya-means pleasant high place. Never the less, the happiness did not last for long. As a saying goes - long absent, soon forgotten finally, the only question among the peoples was where are they now? it is a sad story for the Karen peoples. How fine, if it was the end of the episode! But the story is continuing! Again, in 1995, through a well-planed strategy of the Burmese military government, the Karen who formally struggling for the same objective was break up again with a fresh goal to do better for the benefit of the Karen people. However, the result were more Karen villages were burnt down with the villagers fled from their home with empty handed, more people were killed and the land defile with innocent blood shed, more people are seeking for shelter, some people were crossing the boarder back and forth with hope for better situation of their native place but no glow of better circumstances is seen to this very day. Under the intensify pressure of the SPDC, DKBA and Burmese military leaders held a BGF meeting on , which SPDC military officer, general Maung Maung Ohn clearly mark out that after the election by the end of 2010 all the DKBA must be transformed to boarder guard force(bgf). The entire boarder - line regions will completely be under the control of boarder guard force-ie BGF.

3 The statement during the BGF meeting clearly high- light that military activity will surely exaggerate along the boarder sooner or later by the end of 2010 or early Early this month, on 1 st September 2010, Thai local military authority held a meeting which participants include a number of people and NGOs and warn them in regard to the possible situation that might happened and be keep awareness for necessary action.
