No united army for us, rebels vow

Large-scale fighting beckons as ceasefire groups defy a Rangoon order to give up their military wings

Maxmilian Wechsler

The Burmese junta has set an end-of-year deadline for 12 ceasefire armies to come under the control of a new military body, but at the moment there is mainly defiance and real fears of a conflict with the biggest military group - the United Wa State Army (UWSA).

Khuensai Jaiyen

As the deadline draws closer, Spectrum spoke to key figures in the negotiations to form the new Border Guard Force (BGF) and militia and learned that six ceasefire groups are in favour of joining, and six are opposed to it.

The New Democratic Army-Kachin (NDA-K), the Kayan National Guard (KNG), the Karenni Nationalities People Liberation Front (KNPLF), the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA), the Kachin Defence Army (KDA) and the Pa-O National Army (PNA) support the idea. The Kachin Independence Organisation (KIO), the Kayan New Land Party (KNLP), the New Mon State Party (NMSP), the United Wa State Army (UWSA), Shan State Army-North (SSA-N) and National Democratic Alliance Army (NDAA) oppose it.

Burma experts expressed concern that if Burma's ruling State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) cannot get the Wa Army to comply soon, there is a real chance of armed conflict in the northern and southern Wa areas bordering China and Thailand. If this happens, other ceasefire groups, like the KIO, NDAA or NMSP, might join the conflict.

Colonel Lum Dau,

Anti-government groups like the Shan State Army-South, which have not signed a ceasefire, might also get involved. Any armed conflict involving the UWSA, which is the second largest army after the Burmese military, would have far-reaching security consequences for the whole Southeast Asian region, especially China and Thailand.

The UWSA has 28,000 soldiers, and can also count on the support of 8,000 security personnel including police, security guards and their own militia.

"Among other problems, it would cause an influx of refugees and an increase in drug smuggling, which would affect the relationship between Burma and Thailand," said Khuensai Jaiyen, editor-in-chief of the Shan Herald Agency for News.

An example of what might come is illustrated in the attack by SPDC forces on the Kokang group, the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), last August. The group refused to join the BGF, likening it to surrender.

Khwe Htoo

During the fighting, nearly 40,000 people fled to neighbouring China. In response, the Chinese Foreign Ministry urged the Burmese government to handle its internal affairs properly, while it worked behind the scenes to help solve the problem. Stability along the border is China's main priority.

In the end, the SPDC achieved its objective as the MNDAA, which struck a ceasefire agreement with the Burmese government in 1989, is no more. Most of their estimated 2,500 fighters fled to China and a small group joined the BGF on Dec 4.

"The BGF idea was first floated in April. The order was officially delivered on April 27 to the ceasefire groups in Tangyan, south of Lashio, the Shan State North capital, beginning with the UWSA.

"According to the order, the reorganisation should have been finished by October - six months after it was announced," Mr Khuensai said.

"The main objective of the order is that there must be only one army in the whole of Burma. Most of the ceasefire groups didn't like it."

Sai Wansai

When asked how he thinks it will end, he replied: "To leave it to the junta and CFGs [ceasefire groups] to sort out among themselves, is certainly a return to country-wide civil war. Right now, China is trying to restrain both sides, telling each to back off a few steps. If Asean, the EU [European Union] and the international community support China, we may end up with happier results."

Mr Khuensai says the Burmese army has been readying reinforcements and arms in preparation for fighting with the ceasefire groups. "The meaning is clear: Just submit to our wishes or face the consequences."

Ai Meung, a businessman closely connected to the UWSA leadership, says the UWSA and the SPDC forces are on high alert in expectation of a military showdown. The Burmese army has been reinforcing troops, and building bunkers and trenches along Wa areas, he says. The UWSA units on both the Chinese and Thai borders have also been making preparations and deploying troops and weapons.

"Our soldiers have been moving family members who live along the Thai-Burma border to safer areas; officials have been giving weapons to civilians who are willing to fight. What happened to the MNDAA could be repeated with the UWSA and with its estimated 36,000-strong combined security forces, the fight could be much bigger and bloodier. The Burmese would have to fight the UWSA both in the north and south of Shan State."

Maj-Gen Saw La Bwe

Ai Meung said that the UWSA's 171th Military Region, comprising five brigades stretching from Mongton to Tachilek townships opposite Thailand's Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai provinces, is on full combat alert and ready to fight the SPDC.

''The SPDC tried to separate the 171th military region from the UWSA headquarters in Pang Sang located on the Chinese border, but until today orders from Pang Sang are still respected.

''Hopefully, some compromise can be found before the SPDC's deadline passes on Dec 31. It's already been extended several times. Any hostility could lead to a mass exodus of people across the border to China and Thailand.''

Ai Meung said that the UWSA's policy remained unchanged and they would not join the BGF.

''The UWSA held its Central Committee meeting in Pang Sang from Nov 26 to 28 and adopted policy of 'defending peace with arms'.

''The UWSA commanders were ordered to tell their soldiers to be united, defend their areas and to be prepared for war.

Mai Aik Phone

''In late April, several Burmese generals, including Lt-Gen Ye Myint, chief of the Military Affairs Security of the Defence Forces and secretary of the BGF Transformation Committee, travelled to Shan and Kachin states to meet leaders of the Kachin, Kokang, Shan and Wa ethnic armed groups based along the China-Burmese border.

''Then, in June, Ye Myint visited controlled areas of the UWSA, the MNDAA and the NDAA to persuade them of the Border Guard Force plan. The result was an attack on the MNDAA that effectively destroyed the group.''

Ai Meung said the BGF plan gives tighter control of ethnic armed groups to the Burmese military by putting all ethnic armies under the command of the commander-in-chief, Sen Gen Than Shwe, head of the SPDC.

''Most ceasefire groups oppose the order, preferring to maintain their current military status,'' he said, adding: ''There's also a possibility that other armed groups, whether ceasefire or rebels, could get sucked into the conflict.''

He also claimed that the UWSA and other groups had increased drug smuggling to China, Laos, Thailand and other countries in recent months to finance the purchase of weapons, ammunition, medical supplies, communications equipment and food.

READY TO FIGHT: United Wa State Army military go on parade to mark the 20th anniversary of what the Wa, renowned for their fearsome fighting skills, call peaceful construction of the state.

A Thai drugs officer, who requested anonymity, said drug smuggling into Thailand, especially ya ba (methaphetamines), has increased recently.

''We have made some large seizures of this drug, but the ratio of the drugs seized to those getting through is still about 10 to one.''

Gary Lewis, a representative of the United Nations Office on Drug and Crime, said in Bangkok on Nov 26 that Burma's rebel ethnic groups are increasingly cashing in their illegal drug hauls in expectations of a junta crackdown.

''Minority groups that feel under threat from the central government are using drug trafficking to sustain themselves and keep control of their territories,'' Mr Lewis said, without naming any group.

Mai Aik Phone, chairman of the anti-Burmese group, Palaung State Liberation Front (PSLF) who has many sources in the UWSA and other ceasefire groups, said the incorporation of ceasefire groups into the BGF and the militias would increase drug and human trafficking as well as other illegal activities across the border.

''Burma's order that ceasefire groups join the BFG and militia will affect Thailand. It will result in an increase in drug smuggling, human trafficking and other illegal activities across the border because some SPDC officers are interested in doing business as well,'' he said.

He said the problem stemmed from the SPDC order that all ethnic ceasefire groups be transferred to the command of the Defence Services, known as ''Tatmadaw'', as stipulated in the Burmese constitution adopted in May 2008.

TOO CLOSE: A UWSA camp opposite Mae Chan district in Chiang Rai province.

Mai Aik Phone said the SPDC plan involved three steps _ surrender, transform to a militia, and becoming the BGF under the command of the Tatmadaw.

''According to the SPDC's instructions, a battalion of BGF will comprise 326 personnel including 18 ethnic officers and another 30 from the SPDC army. Most of the key positions such as administration, personnel and material support departments are to be manned by the SPDC army officers.

''The BGF will become a subordinate organisation under the control of the SPDC military.''

Forming the BGF is causing problems for Burma. ''The SPDC has been attempting to disarm or weaken the ceasefire groups and control them by transforming their armed wings into the BGF or militias before the 2010 general election, which does not guarantee their basic rights.

''For the ceasefire groups, accepting transformation into the BGF would be worse than surrendering arms.

''It could create more civil war in Burma. Most of the ceasefire groups don't accept the BGF, but smaller ones have no choice but to agree to joining the BGF along the border, or militia and security forces inside the country.

THE OTHER SIDE: Troops of the Rangoon-backed Democratic Karen Buddhist Army.

He also said the UWSA and SPDC were readying troops for a possible conflict. ''The SPDC is deploying troops and equipment to Shan and Kachin states near the KIO and UWSA areas.''

Mai Aik Phone said the UWSA refused to transfer its entire army to come under the control of the BGF, but both sides were trying to negotiate.

''The UWSA are trying to compromise with the SPDC on three points: They don't want war; they do want to continue with the ceasefire agreement; and they do want to develop their area.

''If the SPDC breaks these agreements, they will still try peaceful means to solve the problem, by negotiating. But if the SPDC attacks them, as it did the MNDAA, they will fight and die for their homeland. The UWSA is prepared, and they are not afraid to fight.''

Timothy Laklem, head of foreign and public relations for the Karen National Union/Karen National Liberation Army-Peace Council, (KNU/KNLA - PC), says if the ceasefire and other groups refuse to join the BGF or the militia after the elections in 2010, they will become rebels which could lead to a war as they would have support from some Western countries.

Dr Laklem said the group led by former commander of the KNLA's 7th brigade Gen Htay Maung and has about 800 soldiers and was formed in February 2007.

''We left the KNU to make peace with the SPDC, so we can stop the violence against the Karen people.

''Nobody really understands why a BGF is necessary. The SPDC tried to explain that they want one army in Myanmar.

''We agree with it, but instead of BGF, why can't it be called the Myanmar Union Army. That would be more positive.

''We rejected the order because we believe that accepting the BGF role will only contribute to confusion, fear and conflicts resulting in disruption to the democratic process highlighted by the upcoming general elections,'' Dr Laklem said.

He said the Burmese military wanted to control the country's borders, which meant it had to deal with ethnic armies.

''At this time, only the DKBA and several small Karen groups inside the Karen and Karenni areas have agreed to join the BGF, but the large ethnic groups have not.

''They are cautious, which doesn't surprise me. They have similar concerns to us.

''The government shouldn't order ethnic armies to accept the BGF. This doesn't help us achieve unity but, in fact, splits us even more. What we should do is to sit down and talk about how best the country can come together.''

One of Burma's largest ceasefire groups, the NMSP, also rejected the BGF order and said they will not support or participate in the general elections.

''The NMSP representatives are invited to dinner parties, ceremonies and non-political friendly meetings by the SPDC who are trying their best to sign them up,'' said Mr Khuensai.

One group that has joined the BGF is another KNU splinter group, the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA).

Major General Saw La Bwe, also known as Na Kam Mui and who commands the DKBA's 6th brigade close to the Thai border, told Spectrum that most of his people are happy with the new arrangement.

''Development along the border is our main objective because we want our people to be prosperous. After joining the BGF, we can receive salaries, cars, rations, food, medical help as well as uniforms and ammunition from the Burmese government.

''I have been here waiting for many years for this to come to pass, so we do not have to carry the burden of looking after our army. We should accept anything that is good for our people.

''We have been staying along the border acting as an unofficial border guard force and I am waiting for it to be recognised legally.

''Yes, some people in our group still hesitate about the new arrangement because no one knows what the result will be.

''The DKBA has had a military alliance with the Burmese government since early 1994 and it has worked well so far.''

Col James Lum Dau, deputy chief for foreign affairs of Ceasefire Kachin Independent Organisation (KIO), wasn't so optimistic. ''The SPDC wants to destroy everything. We must give up our military and come under the SPDC's control.

''At a time when we are trying to accomplish everything by means of politics, the SPDC wants to do something else. They want to dissolve the KIO and its armed wing, the Kachin Independence Army.''

Joining the BGF would be ''total surrender'', a return to the situation before the ceasefire agreement was reached in October 1993.

We are not supposed to be acting as troops guarding borders. Right now we are not an enemy to any country. Myanmar has borders with five countries: China, Bangladesh, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand and India. We don't have any enemies there, so why should we be the border force?

''The ceasefire was intended as the first step to democracy, followed by the election, but now everything is going backward.''

Saw Khwe Htoo Win, chairman of the Karen National Union (KNU), Mergui-Tavoy district, believes the SPDC is serious about forming the BGF.

''They want to bring all ceasefire groups under the BGF because they want to keep them under their control. It is a big issue in Burma. The BGF would allow the Burmese regime to monopolise the military wings of the ethnic ceasefire groups, giving them greater control in managing border security after the election next year.

''The BGF would allow the Burmese regime to monopolise the military wings of the ethnic ceasefire groups to manage the border security after the general election in 2010.

He claimed that some DKBA officers didn't agree with the decision to join the BGF. ''They might fight the SPDC, causing an influx of refugees into Thailand. The same might occur if fighting erupts between the UWSA and the SPDC.

''The Burmese reached the ceasefire with 17 ethnic groups many years ago but now they are moving against them.''

Sai Wansai, general secretary of the anti-Burmese government Shan Democratic Union (SDU), said: ''The 2008 SPDC's self-drawn constitution, which was said to be approved by more than 90% of people, is a joke and everyone knows that it has been manipulated and rigged by the military.

''The ceasefire armies were part of the National Convention which was entrusted to draw up the constitution. But the convention was stage-managed from the beginning and the ceasefire armies' proposal for genuine federalism, with equal rights and self-determination, was rejected by the SPDC.

''The SPDC is now pushing for its BGF programme to swallow all the ethnic resistance movements and the ceasefire groups are now at the receiving end of forceful integration into Burma army, which would spell the end of their striving for self-determination.''

Careful to travel with MAI Air LIne to Singapore

• Posted by Koji
• Hi......... All of my friends here, I just share this post not to face disappointed experiences like me.
  I lost one bag when I went back to Myanmar last 4th Nov with MAI for my holidays about 2 months.
  I want to share how I felt up with this and how MAI is nice.
  As soon as I got to Yangon airport, I can’t find one of my bags and I got to Lost & Found session of MAI.
  At that time, so many passengers came to this area that they lost their bags.
  At that time, MAI just announced that 160 bags of passengers were left in Singapore because of the flight was overweight and will come on coming Friday flight.
  How nice is that? How they take care of the passengers whenever we stay in Mandalay or other towns.
  I got a problem that I can’t wait for the bag to go back to Mandalay.
  One week later, I knew that my bag was lost that is not in Singapore and not get to Myanmar.
  How nice is the security system?
  As soon as I knew that my bag was lost, I called them and they asked me to sign one form.
  What they asked?
  Really, surprised thing that I am ok for my loosing bag not to make a problem.
  How nice is that they dare to ask for my sign not to take their responsibility?
  I think this is MAI standard to take care of the passengers.
  By making so many things to up me felt up and by delaying the time until I went back to Singapore, they decided to give me 200USD that I accept it or not.
  I lost the things about 800S$ (600USD) in this bag.
  Before they made decision, I faced so many things that I went to Yangon airport and MAI office at Sakura tower from Mandalay.
  How nice is my holiday journey from Mandalay to Yangon? How much do I need to spend?
  I don’t care about money but I don’t want they make me felt up until I gave up.
  They may think of that I felt up and I will not come again and again.
  I never gave up whenever they asked me to come and meet them.
  In this case, I really sorry for my cousin in Yangon went to airport and Sakura tower so many times when I was in Mandalay whenever they asked.
  One day before I came back to Singapore, I call MAI that I don’t need money and I’ll write down a blog to know everyone to be appreciated with wonderful air line.
  But one of the ladies of Lost & Found session apologised to me not to do like this and I can take out payment now at Sakura tower.
  You see, how nice is that I didn’t get like this small amount of money until I went back.
  I will let you know in details on my blog. I think, you can imagine how nice is that and what they did with me by cheating.
  By the way, if someone reading my post who is familiar with MAI, please let them know that I start writing the blog to be appreciated.
  I will prepare well including photos and voice recorded with my phone.
  I think, most of the staffs of MAI in Myanmar know very well about me because of this case and I don’t need to introduce who I am.
  And then, I need to say thanks to MAI that you try to give me 200USD one day before I went back.
  I am really appreciated and very best air line in my mind with very good management system for a passenger by taking the time about 2 months.
  Thank you MAI.
  Don’t miss out to read my blog to know who are your best staffs and how they talk to the passengers by covering MAI on my hand phone recorded.

Ethnic Kachin Manau Festival Starts Amidst Burma Junta’s Harassment

A week-long Kachin cultural Manau festival kick started yesterday morning in Myitkyina, the capital of Burma’s northern Kachin State, amidst restrictions and harassment by the ruling junta, Manau festival officials told Kachin News Group.

The daily Manau dance programme will begin on January 8 and conclude on January 11.

The Manau festival is being held to commemorate the “62nd anniversary of Kachin State Day” on January 10. Every year after the junta and the Kachin Independence Organization - KIO signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994, the biggest ethnic Kachin cultural Manau dance festival is held on this day.

Traffic policemen enforced strict checks and detentions on unlicensed motorcycles stationed in front at the main entrance of the Manau venue called Kachin National Manau Park in Shatapru quarter in the city coinciding with the time of the inaugural ceremony at 7:30 a.m. local time, said participants.

Naypyitaw media agents: Ne Linn Way (left), U Tin Win (center) and U Khin Maung Kyaw (right) who restrict the publication of Kachin-language Manau newspaper.

Dozens of unlicensed motorcycles owned by local sellers and participants were detained by traffic policemen, said local eyewitnesses. Every family in the city uses the cheap Chinese motorcycles as their main local transport, added residents.

Manau festival officials called the act physical disturbance by the Burmese junta of the festival, the highly valued ethnic Kachin Manau festival.

The Kachin-language Manau daily newspaper during the festival could not be published today because the publication was restricted by the regime in Naypyitaw the country’s capital, said Manau newspaper team sources.

The junta sent three media men from the capital to the Manau venue and they stayed in the newspaper office all the time and closely monitored the publication activities, said the staff of Manau newspaper.

A senior reporter of the newspaper told KNG today, “We are ready to publish and distribute the conditions but we cannot publish and distribute to the people in two straight days. Because news, stories, articles and photographs in the newspaper are censored by the special Naypyitaw media agents”.

The three junta media agents are U Tin Win, agent leader based in Naypyitaw, U Khin Maung Kyaw photography specialist based in Naypyitaw and U Ne Linn Way, senior journalist based in Rangoon or Yangon, according to the Manau newspaper team comprising of over 20 casual reporters.

The junta’s media agents instructed the newspaper team to publish the Manau newspaper in Burmese language or all the contents in the news paper have to be translated to Burmese, added newspaper officials.

At the same time, they also directly reported the daily Manau festival activities and information to the military officers in Naypyitaw, said Manau security sources.

The Manau newspaper team and festival participants are unhappy over restrictions in publication of the newspaper by the junta, according to the Manau newspaper team and people in the Manau venue.

During last year’s festival, the daily Kachin language Manau newspaper was smoothly published and distributed to the people from the festival start to the end, said Manau officials.

Kachin, one of ethnic minorities in Burma has been systematically oppressed on its culture, language, and religion by successive majority Burman-led governments since the Union of Burma got independence from British rule in January 4, 1948, said Kachin elders and politicians in Myitkyina.

Kachin State was formed on January 10, 1948 six days after the Union of Burma’s independence. However, Kachin people could not rule their state since General Ne Win assumed power in 1962.

Khaplang brings in Kachin fighters

Itanagar, Dec. 27: The NSCN (Khaplang) has brought in heavily armed members of Myanmar-based Kachin Independent Army (KIA) to take on its rival, the NSCN (Isak-Muivah), in a renewed turf war in two districts of Arunachal Pradesh.

“NSCN-K has turned to the Kachin Independent Army for logistical help to build up bases in the twin districts of Arunachal Pradesh — Tirap and Changlang — and heavily armed KIA fighters have already entered these two districts along the Indo-Myanmar border,” a senior police official told The Telegraph today.

The police official said the NSCN (K) had also started a recruitment drive in the twin districts to take on the rival faction.

“Altogether 16 youths from Pongchau and two others from Bonia village under Pongchau circle were recruited by the NSCN (K) in November,” he said.

Besides, nine youths from Nyinu village under Wakka circle of Tirap district were recruited by the NSCN (K) this month and these youths are currently undergoing training under the guidance of the Kachin Independent Army in Myanmar.

The two districts of Arunachal Pradesh also have bases of NSCN (I-M).

The turf war between the two NSCN factions in the two districts had witnessed bloodshed when both the factions had lost several of its cadres in last part of 2008 and early part of 2009.

The loss of manpower had forced the two factions to subsequently exercise restraint after signing of “covenant of reconciliation” on September 23, 2009, at Chiang Mai in Thailand.

“But the recent reports of NSCN (K) taking help from the KIA and also recruiting more youths in the two districts only indicate that the situation will turn volatile in the days to come,” the police official said.

Sources said the NSCN (I-M), which has a stronghold in Tirap, had also started recruitment drives in certain pockets of the district, but not in an “organised manner and tempo” with which its rival faction is carrying out its operation.

Last year, the NSCN (K) had issued letters to the chieftains of about 15 villages under Longding circle in Tirap district seeking “computer-savvy youths” to join the outfit.

Sources said the outfit has computer engineers and other professionals in its ranks. The NSCN (K) abducted 39 school students from Tirap within months of sending notices to 13 villages in the district asking for 200 boys to join the outfit in January last year.

The outfit later denied reports of abduction saying the youths had joined the outfit voluntarily.

Sources said recently the outfit has zeroed in on villages such as Nyinu, Dadam and Lazu of Wakka area and villages under Pongchau circle for recruitment in Tirap district. Most of these identified recruits are said to be in the age group of 20 to 24 years.

Both the NSCN outfits claimed that the two districts belong to Nagas and have included these in their map of “Nagalim” along with certain parts of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.

Even the Nagaland Assembly has adopted resolutions in the past endorsing the NSCN position on these areas.

Sources close to the Naga outfits said the process of reconciliation between the two NSCN factions was moving in the right direction and there could be a breakthrough soon.
