Arakan League for Democracy (Exile) held third congress
New Delhi, April 13, 2001

The Arakan League for Democracy (Exile) ended its five-day Congress
today in New Delhi, committing itself once again to strive for the
establishment of a genuine Federal Union of Burma based on equality and
self-determination of all the nationalities. Delegates of its members
living in Bangladesh, Thailand, India, United Kingdom, USA and Japan
attended the third congress, which was held from April 9 to 13.
?Denial of political equality and the right to self-determination of
nationalities by the successive fascist Burman chauvinistic military
rulers is the root cause of the nearly 50 year-long civil war and
internal strife of Burma?, said a statement issued at the end of the
congress.
The Arakan League for Democracy (ALD) was formed in 1989 in Burma and it
won eleven parliamentary seats in the 1990 general elections. It was,
however, ?deregistered? by the ruling military government. Its party
leaders were arrested and some escaped to exile.
The third congress elected a new 11-member Central Committee led by
Khaing Aung Wunn.
