Kenglom tract massacres
MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED DEAD IN KUNHING TOWNSHIP
Reporter Moeng Zay of the Shan Herald: Updated to June 5, 2000 (with
additions)
CHIANG MAI -- Traders who travel the route between Taunggyi and the
border town of Tachilek in Shan state report hearing of a wholesale
massacre in the deserted village of Wanhpai in Kenglom tract in
Kunhing township.
The travelers, who stopped off at the village of Kali about 15 km
east of Kunhing, said they heard several people in the village
talking about the killings which reportedly occurred in the last week
of May.á Survivors claimed that 62 villagers were rounded up and
mowed down in withering gunfire by a Burmese army unit operating in
the area.á According to these sources, the villagers, who included
both Shans and hill folk, had gone back to Wanhpai from a shanty town
on the outskirts of Kunming town to which they had been forcibly
relocated in 1997.
A source close to the 7th Brigade of the Shan State Army - North, a
cease fire group located in Kali, confirmed news about the killings
at Wanhpai. Another 40-50 people were believed to have been killed in
other places, other sources said.á Hsaimong, Hsaharng and Nat in
Kenglom tract were mentioned.á
The savage attack on the villagers was linked to renewed hostiliites
between the Burmese Army and Yordserk's SSA - S, which has a brigade
operating in the Kenglom tract area.á On April 28, the SSA - S was
attacked in Kenglom in a move which brought an abrupt end to a three-
month cease-fire between the two forces.á In retaliation the Shans
ambushed a
Burmese army caravan on the highway between Kunhingá and Takaw on May
9 causing the death of seven persons, injury to another five and the
destruction of 4 army trucks.
Kenglom tract was the scene of a grisly discovery during the massive
forced relocation operation in Kunhing township in 1997. The beheaded
bodies of 43 villagers, some of pregnant women about to give birth,
were found along the road between the village of Kenglom on July 11-
12, 1997.á It was never disclosed who had carried out the horrific
massacre.
Well over 500 villagers have been killed in Kunhing township alone
since the beginning of 1997.á Human rights groups have identified
hundreds of them and the commanding officers of the military units by
whom they shot or beaten to death by name, but there has never been
public notice that any of the slayings of these civilians has been
investigated by the military authorities. Most of the reports of
these incidents have been also been accompanied by accounts of
extortion, looting, rape, torture and beatings.

NORMAN WEBSTER
The Gazette
The brave Burmese journalist U Thaung, now in exile in the United
States, was recently named one of 50 "press freedom heroes" of the
last half of the 20th century. He received the award last month in
Boston, at the annual assembly of the International Press
Institute. The courage of such people always brings a lump to my
throat. I went up to him in Boston to shake his hand and say that I
had been in his unhappy homeland three years ago. "Ah, then, you
know what it's all about," he said.
He was being gracious, but the sad fact is that what he said is so.
For the most part, I do know how things are in Burma - for the simple
reason that almost nothing has changed, except perhaps for the worse,
since I was there.
In sum, the country is decaying, its 50 million people are
desperately poor, its rulers are thugs and its shining symbol of
political legitimacy, Aung San Suu Kyi, remains under wraps in a
peeling villa in Rangoon. Nothing the rest of the world says or does
seems to have any effect.
As the Economist noted at the beginning of the year, "Myanmar (the
regime's name for Burma) is a country that, like Cuba and North
Korea, has turned its back on the world. As a result, it will be
2000's most needlessly miserable country."
Rogue Regime
John Ralston Saul, husband of Governor-General Adrienne Clarkson, has
a similar view. Saul, a longtime campaigner for Burmese liberation,
calls the junta in Rangoon "a rogue regime" comparable to the former
racist rulers of South Africa.
Speaking in Montreal last December, at a ceremony honouring two other
heroic Burmese, Saul noted something that may be fundamental to the
whole miserable business: the ruling generals are dim, mediocre
people. His observation rang a bell - for it was just what Aung San
Suu Kyi said when I interviewed her in Rangoon three years ago.
Over tea in her front room at 54 University Ave., she repeatedly
portrayed her opponents as brutal dodos. "They're just not very
bright," she said repeatedly. "I really think (the junta) should make
the Guinness Book of records as the stupidest government yet."
(One darkly hilarious example: the Burmese minister with the twin
responsibilities of Public Relations and Psychological Warfare.)
As she was then, Aung San Suu Kyi remains one of the world's most
compelling public figures. Still eloquent, still strikingly
attractive at 54, still as tough and determined as a Margaret
Thatcher, still firmly non-violent, she continues to do what
Churchill did - marshall words, the only weapons she has, and send
them out to hector and infuriate her enemies.
As the daughter of Burma's assassinated national hero, Aung San -
"second only to Buddha," a Burmese explained - she has a special
place in people's affections. That was solidified in 1990, exactly 10
years and two weeks ago, when her National League for Democracy won a
spectacular 81 per cent of the seats in an election.
This was another indication of the dimness of the regime, which
allowed the vote only because it thought its own party would win. Bad
calculation; it took just 2 per cent of the seats. The regime refused
to accept the result, and slammed the boot of repression down hard.
Not a Fairy Tale
Aung San Suu Kyi remained an optimist. In the baking heat of Rangoon,
she used the image of a frozen lake. "When the sun comes out and the
ice melts, you find that there was a lot of life underneath all
along."
In a fairy tale, of course, the ice would go out with a rush, as it
does in Canadian lakes in springtime; the regime would crumble, as
happened in Communist Europe and Indonesia, and the beautiful
princess with the flower in her hair would become queen of all.
It is a lovely vision, but it reckons without the hardy, thick-headed
generals. They seem to have few ambitions beyond staying in power and
getting their pictures taken playing golf. No one can identify a
potential Gorbachev, or De Klerk, someone with imagination and a
desire to be on the right side of history, someone who will finally
talk turkey with Aung San Suu Kyi.
"Yes, she'll make it in the end," one cynical diplomat told me in
Rangoon, "but she'll be as old as Nelson Mandela." What a depressing
way to begin the century.

ARNO NEWSLETTER MONTHLY: FORCED LABOUR TO BE CONTINUED IN BURMA
DESPITE ILO VISIT
News and Analysis of the Arakan Rohingya National
Organisation, Arakan (Burma)
May, 2000
The SPDC has agreed to accept a visit to Burma by a delegation from
ILO to examine the forced labour situation in the country. It has
been said that the acceptance on the part of the SPDC is just to
divert the mind of the international community who are critical of
Burma human rights records. The decision was taken particularly in
the face of the growing fear that Burma would be expelled from the
ILO in its ensuing conference in June next. However, it has been
practically found that no good sense prevails yet in the minds of the
military and forced labour becomes daily phenomenal in the whole of
the country. It has become worst in Arakan.
On 9 May 2000 the Commander of the Dabru Chaung Brigade No. 6 of
Buthidaung Brigadier Soe Naing Tut, in a meeting with chairmen and
secretaries of the Village PDC, told that more roads would be built
in North Arakan for military and communication purposes with the (so-
called) contribution of the people. He ordered the following
villagers to build an 8 mile long road, with their labour and money,
linking Attwang Ngathe village with Palay Taung Regiment 264 and is
to be completed by 2001.
(1) Kyithama Palaytaung Rwa (2) San Yin Way Rwa (3) Kwandine Rwa (4)
Nanragun Rwa (5) Tharakamanu Rwa (6) Dabru Chaung Rwa (7) U Hla Pe
Rwa (8) Rwa Ngyotaung Rwa (9) Attwan Ngatthe Rwa (10) Kindaung Rwa.
(Rwa means village). It indicates that the military will continue to
exact forced labour from the people.

AP: MYANMAR MONKS GO TO THAILAND TO HEAR MALAYSIAN ABBOT
June 12, 2000
MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) Hundreds of Buddhist monks crossed into
Thailand on Monday to hear a sermon by a Malaysian monk denied entry
into Myanmar.
The Venerable Wan Ting, abbot of the White Cloud Temple in Penang,
Malaysia, conducted a merit-making ceremony before 500 Myanmar monks
at Soontrikawas in Mae Sot, 370 kilometers (230 miles) northwest of
Bangkok.
The abbot, an ethnic Chinese also known as ``Gau Soo,'' had
previously traveled to the Myanmar cities of Bago -also called Pegu -
and Mandalay.
This time, however, he was unable to obtain a visa to Myanmar, so he
had to speak in neighboring Thailand, said Khaw Lim Suan, one of
seven devotees who accompanied the abbot from Penang.
Relations between Myanmar's military government and the country's
Buddhist church have never been warm. They took a turn for the worse
after two senior monks late last year urged a dialogue begin between
the ruling junta and the democratic opposition.
Exiled Myanmar monks in Thailand threatened a general strike unless
the government agreed, but the deadline passed without incident last
month.
Some of the monks who came to Mae Sot said the junta would not allow
such a large group of monks to gather for fear they might take
political action.

AFP: ILO BODY VOTES TO PUT PRESSURE ON MYANMAR OVER FORCED LABOUR
GENEVA, June 13 (AFP) - An International Labour Organisation (ILO)
committee Monday voted to pressurise Myanmar to stop using forced
labour, according to ILO sources here.
After intensive discussion over the weekend, the ILO drafting
committee voted by an overwhelming 33-4 in favour of the text
condemning the Myanmar junta.
The resolution, which goes to a full vote Wednesday, gives the junta
a grace period up to December to comply.
It was approved despite opposition from some Asian nations, led by
Malaysia, which wanted to rule out any measures to put pressure on
Yangon. The final wording, with the delayed action, was seen as a
compromise.
The countries which voted against it were China, Japan, India and
Malaysia. Three other countries abstained in the committee was made
up of national and trade union and employer representatives.
The workers' representatives, the European Union and the United
States argued strongly for the adoption of a mechanism to oblige ILO
members to re-examine their relations with Yangon in a bid to
pressurise the ruling junta to end all forms of forced labour,
notably by the Myanmar army.
No exact measures were spelled out.
An ILO technical committee visited Yangon in May when employment
minister Tin Ngwe assured them the junta was prepared to cooperate to
ensure forced labour was not practised in Myanmar.
The text of the resolution said that so far there had been no
movement to improve the situation in Myanmar.
The Myanmar delegation slammed the vote as "unacceptable" and warned
it risked "wiping out all the benefits obtained by the (ILO)
technical mission."
The resolution goes before a full ILO plenary session on Wednesday.
If it is approved there, then the measure allows for a grace period
until November 30 for Myanmar to get its house in order.
At that time the ILO's governing body will meet and decide whether
the intentions expressed by the employment minister are translated
into "sufficiently concrete" measures by the government.
If not, then the resolution will be put into effect, with members
reporting back to the Geneva-based organisation on their actions to
review relations with Myanmar.
Those hoping to see the measure passed on Wednesday are concerned
that there may not be the necessary quorum of more than 50 percent of
delegates around to vote. Wednesday is the penultimate day of the
conference here and some delegates will already have left.
In Monday's ballot only 40 delegates voted, with 10 countries
absent.
Myannmar was condemned for widespread use of forced and compulsory
labour by an ILO commission of inquiry in 1998 and the issue of what
follow-up action to take has proven one of the hottest subjects at
the conference here.

INTERPRESS: JUNTA AID PROPOSAL RAISES EYEBROWS IN JAPAN
TOKYO, Jun 1 (Interpress) -- Reluctant to cause an international
uproar, the Japanese government is treading carefully in its efforts
to resume aid to Burma.
But the signs are there that Tokyo clearly wants to do so. In April,
Japanese Trade Minister Takashi Fukaya went to Burma in the first-
ever visit by a Japanese cabinet minister since the junta took over
power in 1988. Fukaya promised a $ 500 million assistance package to
help Burma develop human resources and nurture small and medium
companies. There are also plans to get involved in a feasibility
study related to the supply of electricity to rural areas.
This would be the first formal operation that the government- owned
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has conducted in 12
years in a country that remains subject to sanctions by other
countries.
Earlier this month, Japan's interest in doing business and resuming
aid to Burma was criticized by Burma's pro-democracy leader Aung San
Suu Kyi, who urged the Japanese public not to let their goodwill
toward the country be abused by Burma's military rulers.
Prof. Kei Nemoto, an expert on Burma at Asia University, says the
government is being pressured by Japanese companies to develop closer
economic links with the outcast country. This, he says, was the
reason behind Fukaya's visit. "Japanese companies want to invest in
Burma because of its cheap labor and raw material. If the government
resumes ODA, then companies would protect themselves from the risk of
investing in a dictatorial country," Nemoto explained.
Japan's promise of more aid and loans comes at a time when major
investors from the country have pulled out of Burma. Carmaker Toyota
opened a dealership in Rangoon in 1998, based on a state announcement
that would allow auto imports in the near future. But it closed the
office this year, after Burma's junta decided not to implement the
policy.
The decision to withdraw operations illustrates the difficulties
faced by foreign investors in that country, Nememoto says. "The
military regime takes decisions arbitrarily. Toyota could not import
foreign cars into Burma because the junta wanted to save its foreign
currency, making it very difficult for the company to do business
there," he explained.
Experts point out that economic sanctions against Burma have already
caused a huge drop in foreign investment in the economy. Against
such a backdrop, Japanese companies are pushing for a resumption of
foreign aid in the hope that this would soon put the country back on
the international trading system and force it to adopt regular
tariffs on foreign goods as required by the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Ikuko Okamoto, a Burma expert at the Institute of Developing
Economies, says Tokyo is also eager to resume aid because of Burma's
outstanding debt to Japan. "The finance ministry is keen that Burma
pay back its debt and this is the pressing reason for helping Burma
get back on its feet," she explained.
Japan has extended around $ 28 million in grants per year since 1992
to Burma to be used for debt repayment, but starting up assistance
payments would be bound to raise eyebrows among taxpayers. Nemoto
says humanitarian aid given to non-governmental organizations
involved in medical and educational projects to ease the suffering of
the Burmese people is acceptable to the Japanese public, who want aid
to foster democracy in that country. "But they are against Japanese
extending official aid again unless there are major shifts in that
country towards legal democracy," he said.

THE BUSINESS DAY: DELAYS IN PAYING FOR MYANMAR GAS A THREAT TO
RELATIONS: SUWAT
June 12, 2000
DONRUDEE CHAISOMBAT
Staff writer
THE Petroleum Authority of Thailand's (PTT) delays in paying Myanmar
for natural gas could rekindle international problems between
Thailand and its neighbor, warned Suwat Liptapanlop, the Industry
Minister.
Suwat disclosed that the Myanmar government recently issued a letter
to the Industry Ministry, inquiring after the 1999 payment of US$280
million for natural gas, which was due on March 1, 2000, but which
PTT has yet to pay.
Under the so-called 'take or pay' agreement between PTT and Myanmar,
PTT is obligated to pay for gas - which it planned to supply to
Ratchaburi power plant - whether delivery takes place or not. However
construction of the Ratchaburi plant was delayed, resulting in its
inability to take delivery of the gas.
"In the past, Myanmar only sent the overdue notices to PTT, but
received no positive response. Now it has submitted a letter directly
to the Ministry of Industry. Further delays could jeopardize the
relationship between the two countries," Suwat said.
The Ministry has been trying to persuade the cabinet to order EGAT to
shoulder partial liability for the debt to end bickering between the
two energy agencies.
Recently the cabinet allowed PTT to issue 15 billion baht in bonds to
help pay off the debt. Nevertheless, the cabinet never decisively
moved that PTT or the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand
(EGAT) - operator of the Ratchaburi plant - should be responsible for
the debt. PTT, in the meantime, is unsure of how it will be
reimbursed, and has decided to withhold payment.
PTT claims EGAT is at fault for not completing the project on time.
Meanwhile, EGAT, despite also being a co-signatory, contends that
the 'take or pay' deal was between PTT and Myanmar and therefore EGAT
should not be held responsible.
A source at PTT revealed that besides 1999's unpaid $280 million, the
2000 payment of $260 million is due in March 2001 and the power plant
is not expected to be completed soon.
Suwat said this is a serious matter and needs decisive action from
the government.
"PTT has already paid $50.5 billion and no steps for compensation
have been made by the government," said Suwat

BURMA COURIER: 'SELF-DEFENCE' ONLY ALTERNATIVE FOR VICTIMS OF STATE
TERROR
Dr.Chao-tzang Yawnghwe - Analitica Birmanie: June 5, 2000
The wanton killings by what is termed "government soldiers" of
innocent villagers in Shan State is getting to be a "normal" event.
This is because the international community has not done much, except
to slap the junta on the wrist at what has become an annual farce.
The Shans in their naivete think that the "Burman" junta is getting
away with rape, murder, plunder, torture, and ethnic cleansing
behavior because the "world" is not yet aware of what is happening to
them. They believe, very firmly, that once the "world" is aware of
the horrors, the United Nations or some governments, or leaders, will
be driven by moral outrage, a sense of justice, and will come to the
assistance of the innocent victims.
The sad fact is that the "world", the so-called international
community, knows quite well that murderers, rapists, thugs in uniform
in Burma are out of control. The United Nations, the International
Red Cross, international labor bodies, the American ambassador and
other ambassadors and diplomats stationed in Rangoon -- all know what
is going on. What is pathetic is that they cannot even feign
ignorance as an excuse.
But not a finger is being lifted. Is it not time that something is
done? If the "international community" and the United Nations do not
have the will or the decency to educate the Rangoon junta on what
lawful governance means, the least they can do is to declare openly,
very clearly, and formally that the victims of state-terror have
the 'right to self-defence'. Surely, this is not too much to ask, is
it Mr. General Secretary of the United Nations, Mr. President
Clinton, and other "world" leaders?
It is also time that victims of state-terror do more than inform the
UN and other international fora of their horrific plight, i.e., by
telling sob stories. Victims of state-terror and their leaders
should instead demand to know what the position of the international
community regarding the 'right of the victims of state-terror to self-
defence is. A clear answer is owed the most vulnerable victims: the
women, who are the prime targets of state-terror, and children, who
suffer most. Also, it might be more sensible for humanitarian and pro-
democracy NGOs and action groups to campaign for the 'right of the
victims of state-terror to self-defence', than to express outrage and
indignation -- deeply appreciated though that is. It is hoped that
they will initiate and lead a sustained, focused international
campaign to obtain from the international community, the UN, and from
civilized governments, a clear, unambiguous recognition of the 'right
of the victims of state-terror to self-defence'.
Or at least, compel these august bodies and "world" leaders to
frankly admit that they do not have the will or the guts to help
fellow human beings in dire distress. Without the recognition by the
international community of the 'right of the victims of state-terror
to self-defence', it is certain that agents of the state in Burma
will continue their reign of terror.
Annual slaps on the wrist delivered by the UN and other "concerned"
governments are, to be blunt, useless. They are looked upon by
criminal states and their terroristic agents as nothing more than
feeble jokes. What is there to deter them from engaging in ethnic
cleansing action, murder, plunder, and rape? Killing villagers,
raping helpless women, looting and plundering is for the junta in
Burma, a "win-win" situation. All that remains for the victims is to
tell sob stories, i.e., participate unwittingly in a phonography of
state violence and terror. Moreover, victims are condemned as
terrorists by the international community if they take up arms to
resist. For them, it is a "lose-lose" situation.
