CHIN NATIONAL FRONT'S STATEMENT ON THE 11th ANNIVERSARY OF THE CHIN 
REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT



The 20th of March 1999 has once again marked the 11th Anniversary of the 
Chin Revolutionary Movement which has stood firmly in their fight for 
the abolition of the military dictatorship and for the restoration of 
democracy in Burma.  For the past 11 years,  it has courageously 
withstood the onslaught of political turmoil in the country.

The Chin National Front (CNF) had two conferences, one in June of 1993 
and another in June of 1997 out of which came the reaffirming of the 
pursuit of the right of the Chin people to self-determination and of the 
establishment of a true democracy in Burma.

All through this revolutionary period, the Chin National Front has 
worked hand in hand with the Chin people for the improvement of public 
health, education and the economy.

To achieve its goals which are to abolish the military dictatorship, to 
build a democratic government and a Federal Union, the Chin National 
Front has continued to work closely with other ethnic armed groups and 
democratic forces of Burma. The Chin National Front has also from time 
to time made presentations of the national issues to different 
organizations within the United Nations.

The Chin National Front has expanded its field of work in and out of 
Chinland with the aim being the unity of all the Chin people. With the 
realization that the united participation of all the Chin people is the 
key to achieving such unity, the CNF has continuously been in search of 
finding a way for all to participate.

Due to economic hardship and with the inhumane treatment by the military 
dictatorship, many might be scared away from participating in the fight 
for freedom and the establishment of a democratic system. The CNF, 
however, would like to highlight the fact that by a united effort 
strengthened by a deeply rooted belief in the system of democracy, the 
tyranny of this military rule can be ousted, only then will there be 
established a peaceful world.
