International Seminar On Chin People To Be Held In India’s Mizoram State

Filed under: Uncategorized — Khaipi @ 11:08 pm

An international seminar on ‘exploring the history, culture and identity of the Chin groups’ is to be held for the very first time at Mizoram University in Aizawl, India next week from 13 to 15 October.

The three-day seminar which aims at raising awareness about the loss of identity and generating consciousness to restore the ethnic and cultural identities by the Chin community across the globe is organised by Department of History and Ethnography, Mizoram University, Aizawl and sponsored by Brussels-based The Euro-Burma Office.
“It would be the first time ever in Mizoram University. There will be quite a lot of experts participating, as many as 30 from abroad and the same number from within India. We are expecting more than 150 people to attend with many special guests including Professor F.K. Lehman and Professor George Bedell,” Coordinator of the seminar, Dr. K. Robin from Department of History and Ethnography told Chinland Guardian.
A host of speakers involving the academics, activists and various experts working in the field will elaborate on various issues from different perspectives pertaining to the Chin history, culture and identity.
The seminar’s objectives statement said that the Chins who are the indigenous people occupying large territories - hitherto called Chin-Lushai Country - are now separated by international boundaries of nation-states like Burma, India and Bangladesh in recent years, becoming minorities among the larger communities in the new nation-states. The ethnic groups in these modern nation-states perceive threats to their identity in some geographical locale, the statement continued.
With a strong belief on the importance of identity retention especially among smaller ethnic groups like the Chins, the event will also focus on finding ways in preserving and protecting the culture and tradition of a people who are in the process of losing identity on the face of the ‘nationalist upsurges’ in the 20th century.
The first Chin Forum’s magazine which is published this year in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of its inception will be available at the Chin historical seminar. The magazine is prepared with the primary purpose of informing its readers about the Chin people, their land, and their struggle for freedom, democracy and federalism.

Keynote - Strategy Paper read by Salai Kipp.

Filed under: Uncategorized — Khaipi @ 2:40 am

Keynote - Strategy Paper read during the Ethnic Affairs Seminar (Europe).!

Political Thoughts and the Sharing of Opinions

A . The Strengths of the Burmese Military Regime

1.They control all the mercenary armed forces.
2. They have unrestricted access to the State coffer.
3. They enjoy give and take deals with CHINA, ASEAN, INDIA and RUSSIA.
4. Lack of Unity within the democratic forces (that includes the ethnic groups).

B . Weaknesses of the Burmese Military Regime

1. The Burmese Military Regime came into power by force, it lacks legitimacy.
2. Aging military leaders.
3.The armed forces of Burma have no codes of conduct, rules and regulations. Collapse is a threat in case of any sudden change.
4.Other State institutions lack codes of conduct and laws and may collapse – expecially in the event of military collapse.
5. No support from the EU, UN, USA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN, the IMF and the World Bank.
6. Facing fierce opposition from the Burmese and ethnic nationalities populations and the Buddhist clergy.
7. Constantly under the watchful eyes of the Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, ILO, ICRC’s.
8.Internationally tarnished reputation and image of the Burmese Military Regime — especially after recent events, e.g. the “Saffron Revolution” and the cyclone Nagris.
9. Foreign investments are decreasing; the country’s economy will collapse. With oil- prices hype a general economic, social and political crisis is immiment. The whole country is geared towards a serious humanitarian crisis. The Burmese Military Dictators will not be able to manage these crisis.
10.Influencial world news media have so long been exposing its miserable human right records.
11.All major religions and their related organizations have condemned the Burmese Military Regime.
12.The government servants and the rank and file inside the Army do not actually support the Burmese Military Regime.
13.The dictators’ Kyant-Phut nad Swan-arr-shin are hated by the general masses.

C . Strengths of the Democratic Forces

1. The weaknesses of the Military Regime mentioned above.
2. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, despite her freedom being restricted remains a major strength of the democratic oppositions.
3. Received sympathetic support of major government, the international news media, major international organizations and the world community
4. TIMING, which is one of the decisive factors in Political Strategy, is NOW totally and favourably on the side of the democratic forces.

D . Weaknesses of the Democratic Forces

1? The strengths of the Burmese Military Regime as mentioned above.
2. Apart from Daw Aung San Suu Kyi there is no other leadership to unite all
the peoples of Burma.
3. Lack unity.
4. Lack political strategy.
5. Lack ideology. The “democratic” forces do not fully understand, embrace
or practice democracy.

Strategy Questions to ponder

1. How shall the democratic forces deal with the strategic blunder of entirely relying on Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been put under house arrest for a continous period of time for the past decades?

2. How shall the democratic forces turn their weaknesses into strength?

3. How shall they make good use of all their strengths without wasting their time and grasp the rare GOLDEN CHANCE now! (It is crucial to take serious note that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has urged all of us not to wait for her and to continue the struggle without her.) “Hope for the best and prepare for the worst!”- Aung San Suu Kyi –

4.CHINA, INDIA, ASEAN, RUSSIA etc are now obviously under an awkward position to enthusiatically continue to support the Burmese Military Regime, especially after the Nagris cyclone hit the country.

5.These countries are certainly concerned with a possible POWER VACUUM that may follow in case of the collapse of the Burmese Military Regime. So, what ALTERNATIVE is the democratic forces to provide and what kind of PREPARATION should we make, to avoid such a POWER VACUUM?

6. Based on the above analysis the ruling military regime has more weaknesses than strengths and that the democratic forces are gaining an upper hand. It is no more an appropriate time to continue issuing statements, appeals and demands to the military regime from a defensive position.

7. We should focus our attention on the fact that the political, social and economic situation in our country is alarmingly EXPLOSIVE. We should focus our attention on how best we could transform our country into democracy with the least blood letting. For all these to happen let us together find ways and means to unify all the democratic forces – cutting across all ethnic, geographical, religious, party and organizational boundaries – and struggle in unison and harmony towards achieving our ultimate goals.

Nahrungskrise im Chin Staat

Filed under: Uncategorized — Khaipi @ 6:22 pm

Rund 70.000 Menschen im Chin-Staat(Chin State) sehen sich mit einer wachsenden Nahrungsknappheit konfrontiert, nachdem eine Rattenplage Anfang dieses Jahres ihre Reisernte zerstört hatte. Auch im Mizoram-Staat im Nordosten von Indien seien rund eine Million Menschen von einer Rattenplage betroffen. Diese war durch das Erblühen einer angepflanzten heimischen Bambusart ausgelöst worden und hatte sich bis nach Burma und Bangladesh ausgebreitet. Bisher seien als Folge ca. 1.000 Menschen illegal von Burma nach Indien migriert, um dort Arbeit und Nahrungssicherheit zu finden. Laut des Geschäftsführers der Chin Human Rights Organisation (CHRO) habe die Situation einen kritischen Punkt erreicht. Die Menschen wären kurz vor dem Verhungern. Ein Sekretär der Chin National Front (CNF) fordert die Vereinten Nationen zu einer Reaktion auf diese Krise auf. Gemeinsam mit UN Organisationen leiste die Chin Gemeinschaft Unterstützung für die betroffenen Menschen, jedoch sei der Bedarf zu groß, um ihn vollständig decken zu können.

Mary hopkin - those were the days

Filed under: Uncategorized — Khaipi @ 10:43 am

Mary hopkin - those were the days!

Lyrics + Guitar tabs

Am
Once upon a time there was a tavern,
Dm
where we used to raise a glass or two.
Am
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
B7 E
and dreamed of all the great things we would do.

Chorus:
Am
Those were the days, my friend,
Dm
we thought they’d never end,
G G7 C
we’d sing and dance for ever and a day
Dm
We’d live the life we choose,
Am
we’d fight and never lose,
E Am
For we were young, and sure to have our way.
Am Dm
La la la la la la la la la la la la
E Am
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days.

Then the busy years went rushing by us.
We lost our starry notions on the way.
If by chance I’d see you in the tavern,
we’d smiled at one another, and we’d say:

Chorus

Just tonight I stood before the tavern.
Nothing seemed the way it used to be.
In the glass I saw a strange reflection,
was that lonley woman really me?

Chorus

Through the door there came familiar laughter.
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh, my friend, we’re older, but no wiser.
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Burma unterbindet die Nutzung von Proxy-Servern

Filed under: Uncategorized — Khaipi @ 9:28 pm

No More Proxies: Myanmar Teleport

Der birmesische Telekommunikationsdienstleister Myanmar Teleport hat seine Technik aufgerüstet, so dass künftig für die Webnutzung keine Proxy-Server mehr zugelassen sind.

Die Kunden des Unternehmens seien gebeten worden, die Einstellungen ihres Webbrowsers zu ändern. Nach Rückfrage mit einem Techniker von Myanmar Teleport habe dieser die Auskunft erteilt, es sei beabsichtigt, die Kontrolle über die Internetnutzung zu verstärken, heißt es in der Meldung.

Mit Proxy-Servern kann es möglich sein, in Ländern mit Internet-Zensur dennoch von der Regierung unerwünschte Webseiten aufzurufen, beispielsweise mit speziellen Diensten. Myanmar Teleport ist neben Myanmar Posts and Telecommunications der einzige Internet-Provider des Landes. Während der wochenlangen Proteste gegen das Militärregime im vergangenen Jahr hatte die Regierung die Internet-Verbindungen gekappt und fälschlicherweise behauptet, der Internet-Ausfall sei auf ein defektes Unterseekabel zurückzuführen.

http://www.myanmarisp.com/ICT/ictnews0044/

Manche einfache Internet user denke , das wäre eine Bessere Service von Burma Diktator ISP.
Es ist gegenteil… wenn man nicht die Proxy Einstellung ändert, wird automatic auf www2.myantel.net.mm einfach weiter geleitet. Und damit keine Verbindung nach Außen.

Also.. Bei dieser “Bitte” handelt es sich
also um das berühmte “Angebot, das man nicht ablehnen kann.

In einige Myanmar ICT community wird diskutiert, wie man troz Annoymous Internet surfen kann.
zum glück funtioniert noch einige meine web Proxy service angebote.
