In this month of August, based on my activities and experiences, and what I have heard, saw and felt, I have learned many things out of them and there are many new insights which I wanted to share with you though I might a little crazy to myself. One thing which motivates my mind is a little strange, and whether I should term it as ?Yes? or ?No?. However, I want to leave it to your decision. Concerning the social and humanitarian crisis in Burma/Myanmar, refugee/IDPs issue is one of the ongoing issues which has been running for more than 40 decades along the ThaiBurma border. Many refugees have been living in the camps have different understanding about the sign of the different happenings. Some of them have mixed up feelings, signal such as plus, minor, multiply, division (+, -, x, ÷). Among them, some may be easy and some are difficult to identify. However, the reality we are facing now shows that, there have been tremendous changes in refugee humanitarian assistance. From 1995 till 2012, the supports to refugee camps was adequate. The condition of the support didn?t depend on any sign of changes. They were consistent and stable. The present situation is same as before. They only changes is the sign of making decision. This solely depends on whether how much confidence to make the decision or you are over-confidence in decision-making. These signs will tell which in which position you are in, whether you choose the essay one or difficult one. Now, looking at the present political condition in Burma/Myanmar, with the present government initiating NCA between ethnic armed organizations (signatories), somehow, the situation is similar to refugees. If the two signs are not the same, the development will be slow. You may be able to change the time, however, no matter how much you try to change the individual, it will be impossible unless there is common interests. Looking from humanitarian point of view, there have many peace packages poured through MPC for last few years, which the intention to create way for peace development. This sign indeed, seemed generous and loving-kindness. However, the dynamic of the creation process, limited many positive opportunities. But just money alone cannot change the people. Thus, this comes down to how we make decision and how much we want to (sincerely) see changes. There have been more noises than sound in reality. This indistinctive sounds create impact on refugee situation, where many worries about the funding reduction. In my opinion, a long term solution, sustainable and effective, it needs not only head but heart, with sincere and commitment to the transformative solution. We continue to appeal to friends who have been with us in time of good and bad, for your continuous support including UNHCR, donors, NGOs and INGOs and CBOs. Sincerely yours, General Secretary Karen Refugee Committee."
