"At the oath taking ceremony for assuming presidential duties, President U Thein Sein said that he would
endeavor for national unity and
the growth
of the union spirit, which was
true nationalism. On August 18,
the government
made overture for peace talk with the Union Government Statement Number
1/2011. These moves are indications
of
willingness to build national unity
by
the new government
,
led by U Thein Sein
.
Members of our U
nited Nationalities Federal Council (UNFC), the armed organizations of the ethnic nationalities,
also desire national unity.
Even though the two sides have the desire for national unity, why the national unity is in
shambles and armed conflict has been con
tinuing for more than 60 years? We need to analyze the question.
We, members of the UNFC, are not struggling for
breaking away from the union. We are simply striving to regain
our birth rights, which are the rights of the ethnic nationalities..."

Description:
"The armed conflict, which has been going on between the non-Burman nationalities and successive regimes in power in the Union of Burma, is due to denial of equality to the non-Burman nationalities. This lack of equality is the crucial political problem underlying the politics of Burma.
Instead of resolving the political problem by political means, use of the military might for suppression or regional development after ceasefire, by the regimes in power is an attempt to break up the struggle of the nationalities for ?Political Equality? by trickery and so the country has been driven away from peace for more than 60 years.
On August 18, U Thein Sein government made an overture for peace talk by issuing a statement once more. However, talk with individual organizations separately was specified as a pre-condition. We view this as not only as a difficult and slow-moving way but also as an attempt to break up the unity of the UNFC..."
