May 3, 2012

ARAKANLAND

BANGKOK, THAILAND, 04-29-2012-About 600 demonstrators of indigenous people of Burma led by Arakanese demonstrated in front of the BBC office in Bangkok. Successful campaign started at 11 am and ended at 12.30 pm.

Protesters held the banners, posters shown “BBC is dishonest, disloyal and ribald”  because British Broadcasting Corporation show  a map so-called Rohingya (Illegal Bengali) as an Ethnic Nationalities of Arakan of Burma on  an  article “Bleak outlook for Burma’s ethnic groups” by Anna Jones of BBC NEWS ASIA-PACIFIC on November 5, 2010. They joined in demonstration and  Kachin, Kayar, Kayin, Chin, Mon, Bamar, Rakhine,Shan, unaminously say that so-called Rohingyas are not ethnic people of Burma.

The sight of map is hateful to the native Arakaneses who are belonging to eight major indigenous nationalities of Burma/Myanmar. Late Dr. Aye Kyaw, Arakanese and Burmese expert, former Professor of Cornell University and New York University (NYU) in United States of America, commented “This creation’s unacceptable and insults the people not only native Arakan but also in the whole of Burma” and he said “They (BBC) know it’s wilfully created.” He urges all Arakanese should take objection to until BBC must say “Beg Off”. If they do not beg perdon, we should take more action as boycott to BBC.

Ban hails Aung San Suu Kyi as ‘symbol of hope’ during meeting in Myanmar

May 2, 2012

1 May 2012 – Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today hailed Daw Aung San Suu Kyi as a symbol of hope for human rights worldwide as he met the Nobel laureate and pro-democracy leader for the first time at her home in Yangon, Myanmar.

“She is really a strong and dedicated leader of this country for democracy and development and human rights for all,” Mr. Ban said in a joint press encounter with Ms. Suu Kyi, who was released from nearly two decades of house arrest in November 2010.

“I, like everybody in the world, fully admire her leadership and commitment, during the last two or three decades for peace and development and human rights for this country, for this region, and for the world. She has been a symbol of our hope for human rights for all, all around the world,” he added.

During their meeting, Mr. Ban invited Ms. Suu Kyi to visit United Nations Headquarters in New York. Their meeting capped off a three-day visit to Myanmar by the Secretary-General – his third since assuming his post.

In April, Myanmar citizens headed to the polls to vote for representatives of 48 parliamentary seats, with Ms. Suu Kyi winning a position in the lower house of parliament. The by-elections were part of a series of democratic reforms led by President Thein Sein, which began last year.

The UN chief congratulated Ms. Suu Kyi on her recent election, and commended her decision yesterday to take the oath and become a parliamentarian. “I am sure that she will play a very constructive and active role as a parliamentarian for the betterment and well-being of this great country,” he noted.

During his visit, Mr. Ban also met with a number of senior government officials, including President Sein. Yesterday, he also addressed Myanmar's parliament – the first time ever by an outside guest – and outlined a four-point agenda for action to advance the country's national reconciliation and the democratic transition.

“The Myanmar people and Government have embarked on a path of reform, democratization, and fuller participatory democracy,” said Mr. Ban. “They deserve our support. They deserve the support of the whole international community. The United Nations will continue to stand by the people in every step and in any way we can. This is my pledge.”

While in Yangon today, the Secretary-General also launched the UN Global Compact’s Myanmar network. Set up in 2000, the initiative has some 7,000 companies in 140 countries, which have pledged to align their business practices to ten universally accepted principles concerning human rights, labour, environmental sustainability and the fight against corruption.

“I hope that Myanmar’s local business entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to fully utilize and interact with international business leaders to widen and deepen their business opportunities for direct foreign investment, as well as job creation,” Mr. Ban said.

“Through this interaction, they can strengthen their capacity in terms of good business management and accountability and transparency and even human rights,” he added. “I hope that this will be a good opportunity for them to mutually benefit for economic development.”

Speaking at the launch, which brought together a number of domestic and international companies in Myanmar, the Secretary-General noted that it was a “remarkable” time for the country.

“We are here at a time of transition – a time that is ripe with potential and expectation for business and investment. Atop the list of priorities are jobs and income opportunities, especially for the many young people whose talents and creativity are waiting to be tapped,” he said.

“Equally paramount is development that is widespread and sustainable,” he stated, adding that, to deliver prosperity and opportunity widely, Myanmar needs strong and inclusive markets. “Business has to be the backbone of growth. However, investment and business activity must be sustainable and responsible – upholding the highest standard of business ethics.”

At a press conference before departing Myanmar, the Secretary-General said he was leaving with “profound hope and expectation” in the future of the country.

“From every front – at every level, I heard a genuine commitment for democracy, political reform and reconciliation,” he said. “The leaders of this country have a shared determination to write a new chapter for Myanmar. The international community has a shared responsibility to help Myanmar and her people.”

At the same time, the UN chief added that process of opening up is still “uncertain and fragile,” and will contain obstacles and bumps along the road. “We need to remain clear-sighted – and do all we can to keep up the momentum for lasting change,” he said.

VOA's Dishonest Interview with Liar Wakar Uddin

April 26, 2012

ARAKANLAND

HA, HA...VOA made a funny interview with a LIAR. Neither interview is TRUE. Is that   an indigenous people of Burma or a Burmese citizen. It is neither. It is Kalar or Chittagongnian Bengali or Bengali or alien. “Burmese historians like Khin Maung Saw asserted that the term Rohingya has never appeared in history before 1950s. According to another historian, Dr. Maung Maung, there is no such word as Rohingya in 1824 census survey conducted by the British. Historian Aye Chan from Kanda University of International Studies noted that the term Rohingya was created by descendants of Bengalis in 1950s that migrated into Arakan during colonial area. He further pointed out that the term cannot be found in any historical source in any language before 1950s.”Who are furnished you (Liar Wakar Uddin)? You must stay here. Who says 2 million people there without official documents. In fact, about 729,000 Kalar illegally live in Arakan (United Nations estimate 2009)

Please consider! In U.S.A., USCIS-U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services do not recognize illegal immigrants as U.S. Citizens. There are estimated between 6-12 million illegal immigrants in U.S.A. Canadian Government also has interrogated a lot of fraud citizens and deported them. Burma or Myanmar should not accept them like America and Canada as Myanmar Citizen because they stay in Myanmar as illegal people from Bangladesh. Please take care! Bangladesh is right now population explosion. There is no family planning strongly in Bangladesh. It proudly says that “Men Power production” and “Allah Di Ye” or “God offer them”. No countries around the World illegal immigrants are approved by Citizens. Totally, this Kalar as Aliens issue is an illegal migration of Burma.As regards,Khine Kyaw Khine

23 April 2012 – Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will later this week head to Myanmar, which he said is at a “critical” moment in its transition, preceded by an official visit to India.

“Myanmar is only at the beginning of its transition. Many challenges lie ahead. Many concerns have yet to be addressed. Yet I am convinced that we have an unprecedented opportunity to help the country advance toward a better future,” Mr. Ban told reporters at UN Headquarters.

Speaking after a meeting of his Group of Friends on Myanmar, the Secretary-General noted that there have been “encouraging” political and economic reforms over the past year-and-a-half in the South-east Asian nation, including recent landmark elections and important steps toward reconciliation.

“We have come to what I believe is a critical moment in Myanmar’s transition. And now is the time for the international community to stand together at Myanmar’s side,” he said, adding, “yet we also recognize: this fresh start is still fragile.”

The UN chief said he looked forward to personally congratulating President Thein Sein and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi during his visit.

“Working together, they have come far. Working together, I am confident that they will go further still,” he said. “And together, we will explore the many tangible and practical ways in which the UN can help.”

The visit to Myanmar, at the invitation of President Thein Sein and the third for Mr. Ban since he became UN Secretary-General in 1997, will follow an official visit to India that begins later this week.

His first stop will be Delhi, where he will have meetings with India’s senior political leadership to discuss current regional and international issues, as well as matters of global concern. The Secretary-General will also receive an honorary doctorate degree from Jamia Islamia University.

He will then visit the commercial hub of Mumbai, where he will meet the Chief Minister of Maharashtra State, Prithviraj Chavan, and meet a small group of key business leaders committed to utilizing their expertise to promote the health of women and children. The UN chief will also visit health facilities where he will witness first-hand the progress being made in communities through his discussions with women, children and health workers.

The visit to India will conclude with an event, hosted by Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Advocates Mukesh Ambani and Ray Chambers, that will include the participation of representatives from government, the private sector, civil society, the creative community and the UN.

The globally agreed MDGs range from halving extreme poverty to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education, all by the target date of 2015.
