Presdt Thein Sein's assistant was one who first posted the photos of alleged rape victim in June
http://www.irrawaddy.org/archives/17968
There's reason to believe this is all an elaborate set up by regime.
A few days ago - one of Arakanese monks when speaking to reporters, pulled out a whole stack of color photos of the alleged rape victim of June, and other photos. How did he get them and why is a monk keeping them?

Burmese Border Minister says will stick to 1982 law
law
"to resolve Arakan Conflict"
http://www.rfa.org/burmese/
in Burmese - in text, news summaries on left.
1982 law says you must prove your ancestors were in Burma before the first Anglo-Burmese War of 1924.
Since few records exist in Burma, this is going to lead to threats by authorities, graft and more corruption.
Increasingly, it looks like this "fire in the eves" in the Arakan region, will spread to the main house, and derail the so-far phony "reforms".

Burmese air force officer arrested, sentenced to 20 years, tortured, for Internet use
Urgent Appeal Case: AHRC-UAC-182-2012
13 October 2012
---------------------------------------------------------------------
BURMA: Air force officer tortured, jailed for 20 years over Internet
use
ISSUES: Torture; arbitrary arrest and detention; right to fair trial
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear friends,
The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has been alerted to the case
of an air force officer currently serving a 20-year jail sentence for
posting articles online critical of the armed forces. Ne Lynn Dwe was
taken by military intelligence from his barracks in December 2011 and
held incommunicado before being sentenced in April 2012 by a military
court martial, before which he had no legal representative. He
allegedly suffered torture and has had psychological problems since.
CASE NARRATIVE:
On the night of 12 December 2011 officers from military intelligence
came to Ne Lynn Dwe, 38, at his camp in Myeik, southern Burma, and
told him to go with them by aircraft to Rangoon. Once there, Ne Lynn
Dwe was detained and accused of having posted some 70 articles to the
Internet since 2009 detailing military life and the hardships and
difficulties faced by ordinary service personnel. In March 2012 a
court martial convened to hear the case, and in April it convicted him
and sentenced him to 20 years in jail for violating the Emergency
Provisions Act by doing actions to undermine the military; and, the
Electronic Transactions Law, for using the Internet illegally.
Photo: Ne Lynn Dwe
While in custody, Ne Lynn Dwe was allegedly tortured, and treated
inhumanely. He was held without his family having access to him. Each
time he was taken for interrogation, his face was covered and he heard
only the voices of his interrogators. They injected him with some
substance that made him lose his sense of self and answer questions
uninhibitedly. While being held in custody he was kept handcuffed and
for some time was allowed to wear only a singlet and shorts. Later he
was given one sarong and shirt, for the duration of his four months in
custody while awaiting court martial, and during the court martial
process.
As a result, he is today suffering psychological problems,
specifically, he is not able to recall names other basic information,
and sometimes cannot speak clearly. Furthermore, when the case came to
court martial he did not have a lawyer. Nor has his family since been
able to obtain the records of the trial, and therefore what
information is known about it has been drawn together by them from
visits to the central prison since Ne Lynn Dwe's conviction.
Throughout the duration of his custody, from time of being taken to
Yangon until after his court martial, Ne Lynn Dwe could not meet his
family, or other persons.
Not only did Ne Lynn Dwe himself suffer but his family also was
directly and indirectly affected. After Ne Lynn Dwe's arrest, his
possessions were not returned to the family, on the pretext of not
having the means to send them, and the military did not pay his salary
for his time in detention prior to conviction. The family has also
lost his military pension and was in February 2012 forced to leave the
military accommodation provided to them.
Additionally, aside from Ne Lynn Dwe, two other officers were also
imprisoned regarding related alleged offences. They are Acting Major
Min Htun Thein, who received seven years, and Captain Chit Ko, who
received 10.
Further details of the case can be found in the sample letter below,
as usual.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The laws under which Ne Lynn Dwe was convicted are incompatible with
human rights and with the democratic values that the government of
Myanmar now claims to be espousing. The Emergency Provisions Act is
completely outdated and inapplicable to the current times, in which no
emergency situation exists of the sort for which that law was framed.
Legislators have made submissions for the law to be revoked and I urge
that these submissions be treated seriously. The Electronic
Transactions Law is a malodorous piece of legislation whereby
practically any form of Internet use could conceivably be cast as a
criminal offence, for which a convicted person is liable to
imprisonment of periods that are completely disproportionate to the
alleged crimes of the sort that the accused in this case was supposed
to have committed. Therefore, these laws ought also to be revoked.
The AHRC is aware of other similar cases in recent years in which
army personnel have been convicted of offences over the use of
Internet or similar; however, most are reluctant to speak up against
their imprisonment for fear that matters could be made worse.

visit the AHRC's country homepage:
http://www.humanrights.asia/countries/burma
SUGGESTED ACTION:
Please write a letter to the following government authorities to urge
that Ne Lynn Dwe be released from imprisonment. Please note that for
the purpose of the letter Burma is referred to by its official name,
Myanmar, and Rangoon as Yangon.
Please also be informed that the AHRC is writing separate letters to
the UN Special Rapporteurs on human rights in Myanmar; on torture, and
on freedom of expression; and, the Working Group on Arbitrary
Detention and regional office in Bangkok, calling for their
interventions into this matter.
SAMPLE LETTER:
Dear ___________,
MYANMAR: Air force officer allegedly tortured, sentenced to 20 years'
imprisonment without fair trial for Internet use along with two others
Name of victim: Ne Lynn Dwe, 38, air force captain, stationed at
Myeik Air Force HQ, currently detained at Insein Central Prison;
married with two children (aged 12 and 3)
Arresting officers: Officers from Military Affairs Security
Date of incident: 12 December 2011 to present
Court martial: No. 23/12, convened by Light Infantry Battalion 435
under order dated 2 March 2012, charged the accused under section 3,
Emergency Provisions Act, 1950; and, section 33(a), Electronic
Transactions Law, consistent with the 1959 Defence Services Act,
sections 65 and 71, sentenced to 20 years in jail
I am writing to call for the release from prison of an air force
officer accused of writing and posting online material deemed by a
court martial to be damaging to the Myanmar armed forces, who was
detained without correct procedure and convicted in a patently unfair
trial after allegedly being subjected to torture.
According to the information that I have received, on the night of 12
December 2011 officers from military intelligence, Military Affairs
Security, came to Ne Lynn Dwe at his camp in Myeik and told him to go
with them by aircraft to Yangon. Once in Yangon, Ne Lynn Dwe was
detained at the Light Infantry Battalion 435 base in South Okkalapa
Township, and accused of having posted some 70 articles to the
Internet since 2009 detailing military life and the hardships and
difficulties faced by ordinary service personnel. In March 2012 a
court martial convened to hear the case, and in April it convicted him
and sentenced him to 20 years in jail
I am informed that during the time that Ne Lynn Dwe was in custody he
was held without his family having access to him and that he was
allegedly tortured. Each time he was taken for interrogation, his face
was covered and he heard only the voices of his interrogators. They
injected him with some substance that made him lose his sense of self
and answer questions uninhibitedly. While being held in custody he was
kept handcuffed and for some time was allowed to wear only a singlet
and shorts. Later he was given one sarong and shirt, for the duration
of his four months in custody while awaiting court martial, and during
the court martial process.
As a result of the inhuman treatment he is today suffering
psychological problems, specifically, he is not able to recall names
other basic information, and sometimes cannot speak clearly.
Furthermore, when the case came to court martial he did not have a
lawyer. Nor has his family since been able to obtain the records of
the trial, and therefore what information is known about it has been
drawn together by them from visits to the central prison since Ne Lynn
Dwe's conviction.
The laws under which Ne Lynn Dwe was convicted are incompatible with
human rights and with the democratic values that the government of
Myanmar now claims to be espousing. The Emergency Provisions Act is
completely outdated and inapplicable to the current times, in which no
emergency situation exists of the sort for which that law was framed.
I am aware that legislators have made submissions for the law to be
revoked and I urge that these submissions be treated seriously. The
Electronic Transactions Law is a malodorous piece of legislation
whereby practically any form of Internet use could conceivably be cast
as a criminal offence, for which a convicted person is liable to
imprisonment of periods that are completely disproportionate to the
alleged crimes of the sort that the accused in this case was supposed
to have committed.
Not only did Ne Lynn Dwe himself suffer but his family also was
directly and indirectly affected. After Ne Lynn Dwe's arrest, his
possessions were not returned to the family, on the pretext of not
having the means to send them, and the military did not pay his salary
for his time in detention prior to conviction. The family has also
lost his military pension and was in February 2012 forced to leave the
military accommodation provided to them.
In view of the above alleged arbitrary arrest and detention, torture,
and unfair trial of Ne Lynn Dwe I urge that his case be reviewed
promptly and that he be released from custody and be allowed to return
to his young family. I am further informed that aside from Ne Lynn
Dwe, two other officers were also imprisoned regarding related alleged
offences. They are Acting Major Min Htun Thein, who received seven
years, and Captain Chit Ko, who received 10. I urge that these
officers also be released.
I also take this opportunity to call for the revocation of the
Emergency Provisions Act and the Electronic Transactions Law, since
both of these statutes serve the purpose only of violating the human
rights of persons in Myanmar, and are incompatible with the expressed
intention of the current administration to democratize.
Yours sincerely,

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi will start her visit to India on Nov 13

RFA Burmese staff firings confirmed - total of five
including 2 contract workers.
I don't think we have heard the last of this yet.
Saturday, 27 October 2012
RFA Burmese dirt - in Burmese - not independently verified yet, though Ko Nyo has written he lost his job and 2 of 3-4 mentioned told me in Sept they are lined up to be fired.
THIS IS A SHAMELESS TRANSGRESSION OF JUSTICE in a place supposed to be working for human rights and democracy.
I thought what I went through in 1998-2001 was bad enough, at the hands of Soe Thinn, Nyane Shwe and Tin Htar Swe, but everyone has told me this is worse, and it sounds so.
Broadcasting Board of Governors and the State Department should start an Inquiry.
FYI in 90s, VOA Burmese chief at the time was fired due to going to Burma and having her picture taken with Khin Nyunt. Kyi Kyi May (Burmese section BBC head) was fired, according to a well known journalist whose name I cannot mention, because she fingered someone - a dissident whose name was only known to BBC top staff and the dissident was subsequently killed by the junta.
KKM is in no way related to me - according to the Burmese naming system she was just born on the same day of the week.
She subsequently went back to live in Burma and is a board member of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's Prospect Burma. Go figure.
In 2001, my lawyer told me I could not sue RFA because they were set up by an Act of Congress, and "it was only job harassment, not sexual harassment".
In 2006, according to DC Superior Court Records, on line at the time, RFA was fined $300,000 because Soe Thinn and Nyane Shwe asked someone the trick question "If we ask you to speak ill of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi in an interview, will you do so".
Soe Thinn lost his job due to the $300,000.
Now he is paid even more? according to inside sources, and is acting as a "consultant".
I dread to think what he may be advising.
Also according to a highly placed inside source, RFA was slated to be merged with VOA Burmese Service in 2007, but their "Saffron Revolution" coverage caused them to win an award, so the axe was delayed.
The thing is XYZ, one of the 4-5 mentioned as about to lose their jobs, or already lost their jobs, due to complaining (like I did) -
told me at an NED (National Endowment for Democracy) meeting in 2007, that U Gambira after the Sept 27 crack down, was already on the run and the
"leporters" were still calling him. The last time RFA reporters called him, the MI or Military Intelligence allowed him to pick up his cell phone, he did so and said he was in prison already, then the phone went dead.
I know for a fact as I heard it with my own ears, that they kept U Gambira on the phone for 30 minutes!! and of course for 30 minutes there is lots of time to track and locate where the cell phone is. RFA reporters were calling him while he had already been located and circled by the MI, after the clampdown.
If this is all true, and I think it is, then RFA has the blood of the monks on its hands also.
U Gambira, as you know, suffered so many beatings in prison that he now suffers from strokes/fits
and has disrobed for medical reasons.
RFA Burmese, as writer below suggests, should just be shaken out, and after, the clean and good ones merged with VOA Burmese -
It's a shame they think they control the air waves and can do what they like.

RFA ဌာနတြင္း ျဖဳတ္ထုတ္ရွင္းပြဲ ၿပီးျပီလား
ဒီရက္ပိုင္း ဘီဘီစီမွာ သတင္းတစ္ပုဒ္ဖတ္လိုက္ရတယ္ ။
သတင္းက ဒီလိုပါ။ ဘီဘီစီ ရုပ္သံလႊင့္ဌာနမွာ Top of the Pops နဲ႔ Jim’ll Fix It ဆုိတဲ့ နာမည္ႀကီး အစီအစဥ္ေတြကုိ တင္ဆက္ခဲ့သူ Mr. Jimmy Savile ဆုိသူဟာ သူမေသခင္တုန္းက ကေလးေတြနဲ႔ အသက္မျပည့္ေသးတဲ့ မိန္းကေလးေတြေပၚ လိင္ပိုင္းဆိုင္ရာ မတရားက်ဴးလြန္မႈေတြ ၊ ဘီဘီစီဌာနတြင္း ဝန္ထမ္း အမ်ဳိးသမီးေတြကို လိင္ပိုင္းဆိုင္ရာ ေစာ္ကားမႈေတြ ရွိခဲ့တယ္။
အက်ဴးလြန္ အေစာ္ကားခံရ သူေတြက ဘီဘီစီ အထက္အာဏာပိုင္ေတြကို တုိင္ၾကားခဲ့ၾကေပမယ့္ ဘီဘီစီကေတာ့ Jimmy Savile ရဲ႕ေက်ာ္ၾကားမႈကို အေၾကာင္းျပဳၿပီး တိုင္ၾကားသူေတြရဲ႕အမႈကို အဲဒီ အခ်ိန္တုန္းက လွ်စ္လ်ဴရႈခဲ့တယ္။
အခုေတာ့ Jimmy Savile ဆုိသူ အသက္(၈၄)ႏွစ္အရြယ္မွာ ေသဆုံးသြားပါၿပီ။ သူေသၿပီးမွ ၿပိဳင္ဖက္ တီဗြီတစ္ခုက ဒါကိုေဖၚထုတ္လို္က္တဲ့အခါ ၿဗိတိန္ႏိုင္ငံနဲ႔ ကမၻာမွာပါ သူ႔အမႈက ဥၾသေသာင္းနင္းျဖစ္သြား ပါတယ္။
သူက်ဴးလြန္ခဲ့တာေတြကို ၿဗိတိန္ပါလီမာန္က အခုအခ်ိန္က်မွ စုံစမ္းစစ္ေဆးမႈေတြ လုပ္လာရပါၿပီ။ မတရား က်ဴးလြန္မႈဆိုတာ ႏွစ္ေတြဘယ္ေလာက္ၾကာေအာင္ ဖုံးကြယ္ထားဦးေတာ့ ေနာင္မွာ ထုတ္ေဖၚၾကတာပါပဲ ။ ဒီလုိဆိုရင္ RFA ဌာနတြင္း အခုျဖစ္ပ်က္ေနတာေတြကေရာ ဘယ္လိုျဖစ္လာမွာလဲလို့ ေတြးမိတယ္။
ေျပာခ်င္တာက ဘီဘီစီ Jimmy အေၾကာင္းက အဓိကမဟုတ္ပါဘူး။ RFA အေၾကာင္းပါ။ ဘီဘီစီက Jimmy လို ဇာတ္လမ္းမ်ဳိး RFA ထဲမွာ လက္ရွိျဖစ္ေနတဲ့အေၾကာင္းပါ။ အင္တာနက္ သတင္းေတြမွာ ဖတ္ရ နားေထာင္ ရတဲ့အတုိင္းပဲ RFAမွာ လိင္ေသာင္းက်န္းသူအျဖစ္ နာမည္ႀကီးတဲ့ ဦးခင္ေမာင္စိုးနဲ႔ မခင္ခင္အိ မသင္းသီရိတို႔ရဲ႕ သုံးပြင့္ဆိုင္ဇာတ္လမ္းက ခုခ်ိန္မွာ ဘယ္လိုဆက္ျဖစ္ေနလဲ အဆုံးသတ္သြားျပီလား ဘာ လား ။ ဘာသံမွလည္း ထပ္မၾကားရေတာ့လို့ပါ။
ဒါေပမယ့္ ဖဘ သတင္းေတြအရ ၾကားလိုက္ရတာကေတာ့ ေအာက္တိုဘာ ၁၈ ရက္နဲ႔ ၁၉ ၊ ႏွစ္ရက္ ဆက္တုုိက္ အတြင္း အၿမဲတမ္းဝန္ထမ္း(၅)ေယာက္ကို RFA ကျဖဳတ္ပစ္လုိက္တဲ့ အေၾကာင္းပါ ။
၁၈ ရက္ေန႔ မွာ ဦးေဇာ္မုိးေက်ာ္ ၊ ဦးကိုကိုေအာင္နဲ႔ ေဒၚအင္ၾကင္းႏုိင္တို႔ကို ထုတ္ပစ္လိုက္ၿပီး ၊ ၁၉ရက္ေန႔ မွာေတာ့ ေဒၚခင္ေမေဇာ္ (နမ္းခမ္းေထြး)နဲ႔ ဦးဥာဏ္၀င္းေအာင္တို႔ကို ထပ္ၿပီးထုတ္ပစ္လို္က္တယ္လို႔ ဖဘ သတင္းေတြမွာ ေတြ႔ပါတယ္။
အဲဒီမတုိင္ခင္ ရက္ပုိင္းတုန္းကလည္း ေနာ္ေ၀အေျခစိုက္ RFAသတင္းေထာက္ကိုညိဳကို ျဖဳတ္လိုက္တာ ၊ အခ်ိန္ပို္င္း ဝန္ထမ္းေတြျဖစ္တဲ့ ေဒၚညိဳညိဳ ေဒၚထားထားျမင့္တို့လည္း အျဖဳတ္ခံလိုက္ရတယ္ဆိုတာကို ဖဘ-ေတြကတဆင့္ သိခြင့္ရလုိက္ပါတယ္။
ကၽြန္ေတာ္တို႔ သိထားသေလာက္ အခု အထုတ္ခံလိုက္ရတဲ့ အၿမဲတမ္း၀န္ထမ္း ၅ ဦးထဲမွာ ျမန္မာ့ ဒီမုိကေရစီ ေတာ္လွန္ေရး အတြက္ ဘ၀ေတြျမွဳပ္ႏွံၿပီး လုပ္လာသူေတြ ၊ စစ္အစိုးရလက္ထက္ တေလွ်ာက္ လုံး အစိုးရက ျပည္သူေတြေပၚ မတရားအႏိုင္က်င့္မႈေတြ ကို ေဖၚထုတ္ေျပာဆိုလာသူေတြ ဆိုတာ ေရဒီယို နားေထာင္တဲ့ ပရိသတ္တစ္ဦးအေနနနဲ႔ သတိထားမိပါတယ္။
အျဖဳတ္ခံရသူေတြထဲမွာ သတင္းလုပ္သက္ ၁၃ႏွစ္ ၁၄ႏွစ္ရွိတဲ့ သူေတြေတာင္ပါတယ္လို႔ ဖဘသတင္း တစ္ခု မွာေတြ႔လုိက္မိပါတယ္။
RFA၀န္ထမ္း ၇ ေယာက္ကို တၿပိဳင္နက္ထဲ အခုလို ထုတ္ပစ္လိုက္တာကိုေတာ့ အံ့ၾသမိပါတယ္။ သူတုိ့ေတြကပဲ တခုခု မမွန္တာ လုပ္ထားမိလို႔မ်ားလားဆိုၿပီး ေတြးမိတာရွိတယ္။ ဒါက အေတြး သက္သက္ပါ။ ဘာမွေတာ့ အခ်က္အလက္ မရွိပါဘူး။
တဖက္မွာက်ေတာ့ RFAနဲ႔ပတ္သက္ၿပီး သတင္းထြက္ေနတာက လိင္ေသာင္းက်န္းတဲ့ အသက္ ၆၀ ဦးခင္ေမာင္စိုးနဲ႔ ဟို အသက္ ၄၀ ေက်ာ္ ကေလးအေမ RFA အမ်ဳိးသမီး၀န္ထမ္းႏွစ္ေယာက္နဲ႔ တၿပိဳင္နက္ ထဲ လိင္အရႈပ္ေတာ္ပုံ ဇာတ္လမ္း ဖုံးထားမရပဲ အသံဖိုင္ေတြ ဘြားကနဲ အင္တာနက္ေပၚ ပ်ံ႕လာတာပါပဲ။
ဒီလို လိင္အရႈပ္ေတာ္ပုံကို အေျခခံၿပီး RFA ရုံးခ်ဳပ္မွာ ၀န္ထမ္းေတြကို ဦးခင္ေမာင္စိုးက သိသိသာသာတမ်ဳိး မသိမသာတမ်ဳိး ဟိုအရင္ထဲက ခြဲျခားဆက္ဆံဖိႏွိပ္ေနတာကို တုိင္မိတဲ့အတြက္ အခုလို RFA၀န္ထမ္းေတြ အလုပ္ျဖဳတ္ခံလိုက္ရတယ္ဆိုတဲ့သတင္းလည္း ၾကားမိပါတယ္။
မွတ္မိတာ တခုက ဒီလို RFA ဌာနတြင္း ျဖဳတ္ထုတ္သတ္ပြဲ မတုိင္ခင္မွာ RFAရဲ႕ ဖဘကို ပိတ္ပစ္လိုက္တာ ၊ RFAကို စာေရးသားေပးပို့ၾကပါဦးဆိုတဲ့ burmese@rfa.org အီးေမလ္ လိပ္စာကို ပိတ္ပစ္လုိက္တယ္ဆိုတဲ့ သတင္းတစ္ခုလည္း ဖဘေပၚ ပ်ံ႕လြင့္လာတာ ဖတ္မိပါတယ္။
အဲဒီလို ဖဘနဲ႔ အီးေမလ္ေတြကို ပိတ္ပစ္တာကလည္း လမ္းဆုံကဂ်မ္းဘုံလို႔ လူသိမ်ားတဲ့ RFA ဌာန မႉး ေဒၚၿငိမ္းေရႊ လက္ခ်က္ဆုိၿပီး ဖဘေတြက ထပ္ေရးပါတယ္။ ေဒၚၿငိမ္းေရႊက ေဒၚေအာင္ဆန္းစုၾကည္ကို TV အင္တာဗ်ဴးလုပ္ထားတာ ၾကည့္ရသလို ၊ VOA ဦးေက်ာ္ဇံသာနဲ႔ ေဒၚေအာင္ဆန္းစုၾကည္ TV အင္တာဗ်ဴး လုပ္ထားတာလည္း ၾကည့္ရေတာ့ ယွဥ္ၾကည့္ရင္ န႔ံသာဆီနဲ႔ အီးေလာက္ကြာေနတာ သတိထားမိတယ္။
ေဒၚေအာင္ဆန္းစုၾကည္လို ပုဂၢိဳလ္မ်ဳိးကို အဆီအေငၚမတဲ့ ေတာင္ေရာက္ေျမာက္ေရာ ေမးခြန္း
ေတြ ေလွ်ာက္ေမး ထားတာ ၊ ကိုယ္ေမးမယ့္ေမးခြန္း ဘယ္ေရာက္လို႔ ေရာက္မွန္း မသိပဲ ေမးေန တာ၊ ေဒၚၿငိမ္းေရႊ ကုိယ္တိုင္ သူေမးခ်င္တဲ့ေမးခြန္းကို အစေဖၚမရျဖစ္ေနလို့ `ကၽြတ္စ္` `က်ပ္စ္`ဆိုတဲ့ တက္ေခါက္သံေတြ လုပ္ေနတာၾကားရေတာ့ စာနယ္ဇင္းလုပ္ငန္း မကၽြမ္းက်င္ဘူးဆိုတာ သတိထားလိုက္မိပါတယ္။
အဲဒီတုန္းက ေဒၚၿငိမ္းေရႊနဲ႔ ေဒၚေအာင္ဆန္းစုၾကည္ TV အင္တာဗ်ဴးကို စၾကည့္မိတာနဲ့ ခ်က္ခ်င္း ပိတ္ပစ္ခ်င္စိတ္ေပါက္တယ္။ ျမန္မာဌာနရဲ႔ ဌာနမႉးတေယာက္လုပ္ေနၿပီး ဒီအေဒၚႀကီး ဗမာလို ေကာင္းေကာင္းမတတ္ပါလားလို႔ သတိထားမိတယ္ ။
ေဒၚေအာင္ဆန္းစုၾကည္က လက္ႏွစ္ဖက္ ေပါင္ေပၚအသာတင္ျပီး ေကာင္းေကာင္း မြန္မြန္ ေျပာဆို ဆက္ဆံေနခ်ိန္မွာ ေဒၚၿငိမ္းေရႊကေတာ့ RFA ကိုလာၿပီး အလုပ္ေလွ်ာက္တဲ့သူ တေယာက္ကို ေဘာ့စ္ တေယာက္က စစ္ေဆးအင္တာဗ်ဴးေနပုံမ်ဳိး မေလးမခန္႔နဲ႔ လက္ႀကီးပိုက္ျပီး ေမးခြန္းထုတ္ေနတာ အားလုံးေတြ႔ၾကမွာပါ ။
ေဒၚေအာင္ဆန္းစုၾကည္ကလဲ ေဒၚၿငိမ္းေရႊေမးေနတာကို စိတ္ရွည္တဲ့ပုံ မျပပါဘူး ။ ေမးခြန္းေတြကို ၾကားျဖတ္ၿပီး အျမန္ျပန္ေျဖေနတာေတြ႔ရမွာပါ။
အကင္းပါးတဲ့ ေဒၚေအာင္ဆန္းစုၾကည္ကေတာ့ ေဒၚၿငိမ္းေရႊတေယာက္ ဘာမွၾကိဳတင္ျပင္ဆင္ မထားပဲ ငါ့ကိုလာေမးေနတာပဲဆိုတဲ့ စိတ္တိုေနတဲ့ပုံပါပဲ ။ အဲဒီလို ေဒၚၿငိမ္းေရႊနဲ႔ ေဒၚေအာင္ဆန္းစုၾကည္ အင္တာဗ်ဴး ကို RFA ဖဘေပၚ တင္လုိက္ေတာ့ လူေတြက ေ၀ဖန္သေရာ္စာေတြေရးၿပီး မွတ္ခ်က္ေပးၾကျပန္ပါတယ္။
ဒါကို မခံႏိုင္လို႔ ေဒၚၿငိမ္းေရႊက RFA ဖဘကို ပိတ္ခ်လိုက္တယ္လို႔ သတင္းက တခါထပ္ထြက္ျပန္တယ္ ။ အဲဒီေနာက္ပိုင္း YPI သတင္းဌာနက ဖဘေပၚတင္တဲ့သတင္းမွာ burmese@rfa.org အီးေမလ္ လိပ္စာကို ဆက္သြယ္လို႔မရေတာ့ဘူးဆိုတာ ပါလာျပန္တယ္ ။
ေနာက္တခုကလည္း ကိုAUNG PAN ဆိုတဲ့ ဖဘမွာလဲ လြတ္လပ္တဲ့အာရွအသံက သူတို႔သတင္းဌာနက လုပ္ပုံကိုင္ပုံကို ေ၀ဖန္တာ မခံႏုိင္လို႔ ဂ်မ္းဘုံၿငိမ္းေရႊက ရွိရွိသမွ် အကုန္လုိက္ပိတ္ေနတယ္ဆိုၿပီး တခါ ေရးျပန္ပါတယ္။
ေဒၚေအာင္ဆန္းစုၾကည္ RFA ရုံးခ်ဳပ္ကို သြားလည္ခ်ိန္မွာ ၀န္ထမ္းေတြအားလုံးနဲ႔တြဲရိုက္ထားတဲ့ ဓါတ္ပုံကို RFA ဖဘေပၚ တင္ျပန္ေတာ့လည္း မသင္းသီရိကို ရည္ရြယ္ျပီး ၀က္ဆီဖတ္မလို႔ ေနာက္ေျပာင္တာ မခင္ခင္အိ ကိုရည္ရြယ္ၿပီး အန္တီစု ညာဖက္မွာ ေမးတင္ထားတာက ဟိုကုတင္ဇာတ္လမ္းထဲက မမ မဟုတ္လားလို႔ သေရာ္ထားတာ ေတြ႔ရျပန္ပါတယ္။
ဒီေ၀ဖန္ခ်က္ေတြကို မခံႏိုင္လို႔ ေဒၚၿငိမ္းေရႊက အကုန္ေလွ်ာက္ပိတ္ေနတယ္လို႔ပဲ ထင္ပါတယ္။ ကၽြန္ေတာ္ ဖတ္မိသမွ် လက္လွမ္းမီသမွ် သတင္းေတြကို ဆက္စပ္ေတြးေနမိတာပါ။
အဲဒီေနာက္ပိုင္းမွာေတာ့ RFAဌာနတြင္း လိင္အရႈပ္ကိုရွင္းေပးဖုိ႔နဲ႔ ၊ မတရား မ်က္ႏွသာေပးေနတာကို
ေျဖရွင္းေပးဖို႔ တုိင္တန္းၾကတဲ့ ၀န္ထမ္းေတြကို အေရးယူေတာ့မယ္ဆိုတဲ့ သတင္းလဲ ဖဘေပၚ မွာ ေတြ႔ လာရပါတယ္ ။
အခုေတာ့ သတင္းေတြ ထြက္ခဲ့တဲ့အတုိင္း RFA ၀န္ထမ္းေတြကို တကယ္ပဲထုတ္ပစ္တဲ့အထိ အေရးယူ လိုက္ေတာ့ သိပ္ၿပီး လက္ရဲဇက္ရဲ ႏုိင္ပါလားလို႔ ေတြးမိျပန္ပါတယ္။
အားလုံးဆက္စပ္ ေတြးၾကည့္ေတာ့ RFA ရုံးခ်ဳပ္မွာ လိင္အရႈပ္လုပ္သူေတြကို ေဒၚၿငိမ္းေရႊက အကာအကြယ္ ေပးလိုက္ၿပီး တုိင္တန္းတဲ့အုပ္စုကို အလုပ္ကျဖဳတ္ပစ္တဲ့သေဘာ ျဖစ္သြားတယ္ လို႔ပဲ ေတြးမိပါတယ္။
ကၽြန္ေတာ္ေတြးသလိုသာ မွန္ခဲ့ရင္ ေဒၚၿငိမ္းေရႊက ဘာ့ေၾကာင့္ ဟိုသုံးေယာက္ (ဦးခင္ေမာင္စိုး ၊ မခင္ခင္အိ ၊ မသင္းသီရိ)တို႔ကုိ အကာအကြယ္ ေပးေနတာလဲ ။ ဘာမွန္းမသိရေပမဲ့ အေၾကာင္းတခုခုေတာ့ ရွိမယ္ထင္ပါတယ္ ။
( သိသူမ်ား ေဖၚထုတ္ၾကပါ )။
အလုပ္ျဖဳတ္ခံလိုက္ရသူေတြကို ဂရုဏာျဖစ္မိေပမယ့္ ဥပေဒ စိုးမုိးပါတယ္ဆိုတဲ့ အေမရိကားလို ႏိုင္ငံမ်ဳိးမွာ အဲဒီလူေတြ ဘာဆက္လုပ္ေနၾကမလဲ ေမးခြန္းထုတ္လိုက္ပါတယ္ ။
ကၽြန္ေတာ္တို႔လို RFA ပရိတ္သတ္ေတြကေတာ့ အာဏာရွင္ဆန္ဆန္ လုပ္တဲ့ RFAဌာနမႉး ေဒၚၿငိမ္းေရႊတို႔ရဲ႕ လုပ္ရပ္ေတြကို ရႈပ္ခ်လိုက္ပါတယ္ ။
မခင္ခင္အိေျပာထားတဲ့ အသံဖိုင္ေတြမွာ ဦးခင္ေမာင္စိုးနဲ႔ မခင္ခင္အိတို႔ ညိေနၾကတာ သိသာလွပါတယ္။ မခင္ခင္အိတို႔၊ မသင္းသီရိတို႔ ၊ ဦးခင္ေမာင္စိုးတို႔ တီဗြီထဲကေန ကိုယ္ေရာင္ထင္ရွား ထြက္ျပေနတာကိုၾကည့္ ရင္ ဒီလူေတြဟာ ဘယ္ေလာက္ထိ အရွက္ကင္းမဲ့တဲ့လူေတြလဲဆိုတာ တြက္ဆလို႔ရပါတယ္။
ျမန္မာ့လူ႔အဖြဲ႔အစည္းမွာ သာမန္ျပည္သူေတြ လိင္ေဖါက္ျပန္ေနတာကို လွ်စ္လ်ဴရႈထားလို႔ ရႏုိင္ေပမဲ့ အထူး သျဖင့္ တုိင္းျပည္ကို မ်က္လုံးဖြင့္ေပးေနတဲ့အလုပ္မ်ဳိး လုပ္ေနပါတယ္ဆိုတဲ့ RFA လိုရုံးမွာ လိင္ အရႈပ္ အေထြး ျဖစ္ေနတာကို ရွင္းရမယ့္အစား ဒါကိုတုိင္မိတဲ့ သူေတြကေတာ့ ျဖဳတ္ထုတ္သတ္ခံလိုက္ရပါၿပီ ။
တိုင္တဲ့သူေတြက လူမ်ားစုလို႔ ၾကားမိေတာ့ RFA ဌာနတြင္း ျဖဳတ္ထုတ္သတ္ပြဲ ဒီမွာတင္ၿပီးသြားျပီလား ဆိုတာ သံသယျဖစ္စရာပါ ။

misleadingly oversimplified media and regime's narrative of "sectarian
violence":
1). Kyauk Hpyu, the designated location for the multi-billion dollar
economic projects including the Special Economic Zone, a deep-sea port where
China's Mid-East oil will be destined for re-transportation overland
to the Southern Chinese Providence of Yunnan. (The two Burmese off-shore
gas pipeline and the Mid-East oil pipelines projects will be located
here. This is what connects the war in Kachin State, which the
pipelines will run through, before they reach Yunnan, and the ethnic
cleansing of the Rohingya in Western Burma. The pipeline will run almost due west to east.
The economic motivation behind the violence, probably state sanctioned, has to date only been picked up by a few analysts, and not by Myanmar Government and the international media.
2). From the Burmese regime's perspective they “see the fingerprints of
the Taliban” in the violence in Western Burma, involving Rohingyas -
and now ALL Muslims - and the Rakhine. So, the generals want to make
sure they preemptively purge Kyauk-hpyu of any Muslims - not just
Rohingya - to protect against, preemptively, their Chinese-joint
venture economic assets/projects.
These are areas where Muslims, Rohingya or otherwise, have lived side by side
and mingled for generations. So, even some Rakhine (Arakanese) veterans of the
Burmese Military were upset by the fact that the troops there were
allegedly ordered by Naypyidaw to let the Muslims and Rohingya (or
Bangali in their lingo) run for their lives - despite the fact that
these targeted victims have nowhere safe to run to.
There have been consistent reports from the ground that the
government firefighters were not putting out the fires, but spraying
petrol on the burning houses to accelerate the burning.
3). The Bangladeshi-born and/or connected "Bangali Rakhines" who are
active with the Arakanese Liberation Party/Army - an armed
organization whose mission is to purge the Arakan of all Muslims - is
heavily involved. The Bangladesh-born Rakhines (Arakanese) are known to be far
more rabidly racist towards the Muslims and the ALP-supporting
Rakhines are, essentially, threatening the more moderate "Bama
Rakhines" (Burman Arakanese) to partake in the final wave of ethnic cleansing of the
Rohingya and the Muslims. Some of the armed ALP elements are said to be
coming from Bangladesh. (An ALP leader, a woman, recently returned from Bangladesh with official permission from Naypyitaw, and has set up an office in Arakan State)
4). Recent attacks on Buddhist temples and monasteries in Bangladesh
are a sign of things to come and can trigger full-scale
Buddhist-Muslim hate-killings in both countries.
5). Not all Rakhines are racist and neo-Fascist. Many in fact have lived peacefully with various Muslim communities for generations in integrated villages and towns.
Emphatically, Rakhine Ethno-Nationalists such as Bangladesh-born national-level MP Aye Maung and local/provincial level Than Htut Aung (MP for the local Rakhine State Parliament) are said to be directly involved in mobilizing anti-Muslim, anti-Rohingya protests and the latest wave of violent attacks.
Several more factors that help explain the recent spate of violent attacks against the Rohingya.
6. Naypyidaw itself - that is, President Thein Sein and his office -- is aggressively dodging any inquiry being carried out by the 27-member Presidential Riot Inquiry Commission.
7. The key, most crucial members of the Commission - the two-Cornell trained members: the historian Dr Myo Myint, retired Director-General of the Religious Affairs Ministry and the political scientist from Singapore Dr Kyaw Yin Hlaing - are no longer showing any interest in the Inquiry. Myo Myint was a Fulbright scholar in the USA. Kyaw Yin Hlaing was pushing for engagement as early as 2002, and a regular visitor to Burma. He accompanied President Thein Sein to the USA recently, and acts as adviser and interpreter. He is probably the one who told the BBC Hardtalk journalist that if he “did not like the question, he might ask Thein Sein not to answer it.”
8. The Commission's strategic role, in retrospective, has served Naypyidaw's purpose of preempting any push for a truly independent, external inquiry about the ethnic violence in June in Western Burma. Thein Sein’s “commission” is there just to placate western critics and to put democracy advocates such as Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the comedian Zarganar and U Nu’s daughter Daw Than Than Nu in a spot.
9 The Border Affairs Minister - Lt-General Thein Htay, a Danu from Shan State and informal regime contact between Aung San Suu Kyi and the senior generals - is one of the most trusted pets of the 'retired' Senior General Than Shwe (Thein Htay, an engineer by training from Rangoon Institute of Technology) serves or served as a key member of the Myanmar Economic Holdings, the military's umbrella corporation overseeing its institutional assets. (It’s former name was BEDC – Burma Economic Development Corporation – headed by Brig Gen Aung Gyi who died a few days ago. UMEH – Union of Myanmar Economic Holdings, Ltd., is widely regarded as the economic front of "Burmese Military Incorporated".
10. There is every reason to believe that these men are carrying out their strategic plans/goals - including purging Western Burma of Muslims, not just Rohingya - as blessed by Than Shwe himself.
Glossary and who’s who.
Thein Sein – nominal “reformist, moderate” President.
Than Shwe, hard liner, former President – said to be “retired”
Arakan (now called Rakhine) – coastal strip state in Western Burma.
Burma, now called Myanmar by junta.
Arakanese (Rakhine) – an ethnic group.
Rohingya, a subset of all Burmese Muslims, living in Western Burma since 9th century.
Burman, mainstream majority, subset of Burmese.
Naypyidaw or Naypyitaw - purpose-built capital city -- started 2005 in Central Burma - site of Than Shwe's home - use Google Earth to look for it - and the Hluttaw or "parliament". Aung San Suu Kyi was under her latest stint of house arrest, May 30, 2003 to Nov 13, 2010, when it was built.

Canadian Friends of Burma notice Burmese FM Wunna Maung Lwin's low profile visit to Canada -

Quiet welcome for Burmese foreign minister gets noticed
Lee Berthiaume, Postmedia - OCTOBER 24, 2012
OTTAWA — The Conservative government has been accused of trying to hide the visit earlier this month of Burma ’s foreign affairs minister.
The Conservative government has made a big deal of highlighting Canada ’s re-engagement with Burma after years of frozen relations caused by the Southeast Asian nation’s poor record on human rights and democracy.
The government has pledged to open a new embassy in Burma , which is also known as Myanmar , while Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird and International Trade Minister Ed Fast have made separate visits.
Not by coincidence, Canadian companies in the oil, gas and mining sectors have made noises they are very interested in breaking into the market, which is already rife with similar firms from the U.S. , Europe and Asia .]
This has prompted concerns business interests will supercede human rights and democratic progress, which are still in a tenuous situation despite recent improvements.
From Oct. 2-4, Burmese Foreign Minister Wunna Maung’s visited Ottawa — the first by a Burmese foreign minister since 1969 — as part of what appears to be a round-the-world tour to reach out to partners and put a nail in his country’s international isolation.
But neither Foreign Affairs nor the government went out of their way to call attention to the visit — prompting a strong reaction from one pro-democracy Burmese group in Canada .
The Canadian Friends of Burma, which has been the most outspoken voice on democracy in Burma over the years, said it only learned of Maung’s visit through the Asian nation’s state-run media.
In a statement, the group said “it is unnecessary — possibly unprecedented — for the Government of Canada to keep such a ministerial visit secret.”
“Therefore, we urge the Government of Canada, especially foreign affairs officials, to be more transparent on policymaking in Burma .”
A Conservative official dismissed the concerns, noting a photo of Maung and Baird was posted to the Foreign Affairs website, the official noted, while the Burmese foreign minister was recognized in the House of Commons gallery after Question Period.
“Anyone who follows Burma ’s political development would have known the foreign minister was visiting,” the official said. “So it was hardly secret.”

Early Burmese junta and Ne Win crony Brig Gen Aung Gyi, dies at 94
http://www.irrawaddy.org/archives/17331
I distinctly remember the time he came to RFA in 1998.
The goats' balls there led by "lady big bust" wanted to give a lot of air time to Aung Gyi saying "the military is the last hope of Burma." The entire interview in 2 parts was about 15 minutes long.
There was an inquiry, then Big Bust, now with BBC Burmese, wanted to use my good name to whitewash her own involvement.
She brought me a tape recorder and asked me to translate it for her.
I was pissed off. I gave the Marantz back to her, saying, Miss BB, you know English and Burmese too, why don't you translate it yourself. Then I walked to the RFA Presdt and the VP and exec officer's offices and reported the matter - but then Alex came and prevailed on me to finish the translation. The Burmese dept head was on a short visit to ASEAN at the time.
I translated it as it was - at one point Aung Gyi said to a question about who funded his trip "I sold my wife's diamond ear rings to come."
I ask you, which Burmese wife would allow that.
So BB was not happy with the translation, and assigned the little non-Burmese,non-Burmese speaker, Amish girl secretary to "edit" my English.
This time I took the matter to RFA's Public Relations official, then Pat Lutz.
Pat came to my desk, asked where the Word file was and "click" sent it to the US Embassy in Rangoon.
That is how the RFA Burmese dept head, BB etc all had it out to push me out. That, and for saying "Nobel Peace Laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi" on air every time I mentioned her on air, when the goats balls department head had said it was "repetitious" and saying "Burmese democracy leader" would be enough.
This Saw Yan Naing article is the Truth.
Aung Gyi initially lost his number two status with Ne Win about 1964 because he made a trip to Japan, in which he gave an interview and was touted as the new bright young man for Burma. This was the same way Dr Nyi Nyi was pushed out. Because of a profile in Time Magazine.
Ne Win was not about to allow that and got rid of him/them immediately.
I am glad all these stories are now coming out. They are after all true.

Junta police seen handing out gasoline in latest Arakan torchings of Rohingya homes -
Dear All,
Please share our Press Release with your contact groups.
Best,
Tun Khin
Date: 24.10.2012
Hundreds Killed and Thousands of Homes Destroyed in Arakan State
During the last 24 hours, BROUK has received the following information
from the ground;
1. A Rakhine mob set fire to Yin Thae Village and Parin village of
Mrauk Oo where Rohingya are living. Police forces were seen giving
containers of petrol to the mob to burn down Rohingya houses. More
than 600 houses burnt down in both villages. Eyewitnesses say that
more than 100 Rohingya were killed by the mob while setting the fires.
2. According to an escaped victim, many Rohingya had run away to
hide. Police had called them out of their hiding places saying that
they (the police) had come to control the situation and would make a
truce between them and the Rakhine. Believing what police had said,
killed them and the police did not stop them. Around 350 Rohingya
women and children were hiding near the cemetery of Parin Village. The
Rakhine mob and security forces killed almost all of them according to
escaped victims who witnessed the attack. Many of the Rohingya who
escaped the attacks are now in paddy fields, with nowhere to go.
3. A Rakhine mob set fire to Nagara Pauktaw village, Min Bya
Township.100 Rohingya houses burnt down. More than 200 Rohingya were
slaughtered by the mob according to eyewitnesses.
4. A Rakhine Mob set fire to Paikthae Village Kyauk Phyu Township.
While Paikthay village was on fire, the fire fighters came to the spot
with tank load of petrol in the guise of putting out the fire. More
than 600 Muslim houses were burned down. We can’t confirm exact number
of the deaths of Rohingya at the moment. Many Muslims fled into to
the sea and others are in hiding.
5. 10:30am UK time two villages were set fire in Pauktaw Township.
According to latest information many people are jumping to the river
to escape. At the moment, it is very difficult to get any news out of
these regions as the authority is confiscating all the cellular phones
that Rohingya have to stop news reaching the outside world.
Tun Khin President of BROUK said “Ethnic cleansing is happening under
the noses of the international community and they are doing nothing.
These are not communal clashes; this is not equal sides fighting. This
is state organized and state sanctioned ethnic cleansing where the
vast majority of those killed and displaced are Rohingyas. The
international Community has staked so much on Thein Sein‘s reform
process that even when he proposed ethnic cleansing they stayed
silent, and even when ethnic cleansing takes place they stay silent.
There is no way this violence would continue if the government
genuinely wanted to stop it”.
BROUK President Tun Khin also said “Whenever there is ethnic cleansing
the international community says never let it happen again. Well it is
happening again right now in Burma and once again the international
community is failing to act. There needs to be UN observers on the
ground immediately.”

Ex-king Uthumphon and the Fall of Ayuthia to the Burmese - by Reinhold Holler
http://www.shanland.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5014:ex-king-uthumphon-and-the-falling-of-ayutthaya-to-the-burmese&catid=115:opinions&Itemid=308
Quote of the day - excerpt from poem by Saideh Pakravan
The world has kept on turning. A quarter-century later, the Burmese military can join hands with God to swat a million people who drift with swollen bellies on the Irrawaddy Delta, ungainly water lilies floating among the debris washed here and there on the sluggish waves then, as an afterthought, decorating the carcasses on the bank where sharp-eyed carrions cannot believe their luck.
Meanwhile, in a distant palace, a general undoes his armored vest to allow his full belly to expand. He burps and through his empty mind passes no thought of those drifting bodies nor of the tens of thousands crushed by hunger, sorrow, and pelting rain. Instead, sated after his meal, he vaguely surveys mentally the accumulated riches sent by a grieving world, signals for his plate to be removed, unwary of the waiter who approaches, thick kitchen chopper in hand and who splits open his skull, the waiter who has lost eleven family members in the Delta, who will avenge them so their souls can float away in peace, who no longer minds paying the price.

Burma is ASEAN's Bosnia - by Dr. Maung Zarni -
Maung Zarni
SPREAD THE WORD. SHARE THIS AS WIDELY AS POSSIBLE.
"MYANMAR AS ASEAN's BOSNIA"
The Pentagon and CIA are welcome. OIC's relief office is NOT. This is the essence of "reforms" in Burma, yes, those reforms Aung San Suu Kyi has endorsed.
Why did Naypyidaw renege on its official agreement to let OIC open a humanitarian affairs office in Burma?
Simple: OIC presence would have been rather inconvenient for the reforming Burma in times like these when the Rohingya properties and houses are burned down, families driven out like stray dogs, OIC would be bearing witness to the continuing on-again off-again periodic ethnic cleansing of these people on their own birthplace.
Buddha (sic? Burma) forbids that OIC takes videos and pictures of Rohingya villages burning, children and women slaughtered and neo-fascist state and racist society act in collaboration towards their shared mission of ridding the country of Muslim Rohingyas.
This is BOSNIA - except that ASEAN is no NATO.
ASEAN has neither the collective spine, nor the social conscience nor humanistic heart.

I hope this shows, all of you (in Burma?) who are so ultra "nationalistic"
that the westernized who chose to live overseas, or those who live overseas who become westernized, are not all depraved or immoral
in fact, is it not the reverse??

At the Sea-Side

When I was down beside the sea
A wooden spade they gave to me
To dig the sandy shore.
My holes were empty like a cup.
In every hole the sea came up

ဒုတိယကမၻာစစ္အၿပီး စစ္ေအးေခတ္ကာလမွာ ကိုလိုနီလက္ေအာက္က လြတ္ေျမာက္စႏိုင္ငံေတြ ေပၚလာတာေၾကာင့္ ၀ါဒေရးရာအားၿပိဳင္မႈေတြက ေရွ႕တန္းေရာက္လာတယ္။ အားလံုးသိတဲ့အတိုင္း အေမရိကန္ ဦးေဆာင္တဲ့ အေနာက္အုပ္ စုက ဆိုဗီယက္ဦးေဆာင္တဲ့ ကြန္ျမဴနစ္အေတြးအေခၚက ေရွ႕ေဆာင္တဲ့ အေရွ႕ဥေရာပႏိုင္ငံေတြ၊ အေရွ႕အလယ္ပိုင္း ႏိုင္ ငံေတြနဲ႔ အာရွအလယ္ပိုင္းႏိုင္ငံေတြကို ဒီမိုကေရစီအေတြးအေခၚနဲ႔ ၀ါဒျဖန္႔ဘို႔ က်ဳိးပမ္းတယ္။ ဒီလိုနည္းနဲ႔ ၁၉၅၀ ေလာက္ မွာ RFE (Radio Free Europ) ဆိုတာ ေပၚလာတယ္။ ေရဒီယိုေတြကေန အဲဒီ ႏိုင္ငံေတြကသတင္းေတြ၊ ဒီမိုကေရစီ ႏိုင္ ငံေတြရဲ႕ေအာင္ျမင္ဖံြ႔ၿဖိဳးမႈေတြကို သတင္းေဆာင္းပါးေတြ၊ ေတးသီခ်င္းေတြနဲ႔ ၀ါဒျဖန္႔တယ္။ အဲဒီ အေတြးအေခၚတိုက္ပဲြ မွာ အေမရိကန္ကအႀကီးအက်ယ္ ေအာင္ျမင္တယ္။ ကြန္ျမဴနစ္၀ါဒကို ဆင္းရဲသား၀ါဒလို ျမင္သြားၾကတယ္။ ေနာက္ပိုင္း ႏွစ္ေတြမွာ ႏိုင္ငံေတာ္ေတာ္မ်ားမ်ား ကြန္ျမဴနစ္ဆန္႔က်င္ေရးေတြ ေႂကြးေၾကာ္လာတဲ့အထိ ျဖစ္လာတယ္။ အႏွစ္ ၄၀ နီးပါး ၾကာေတာ့ အေရွ႕ဥေရာပတခုလံုး ဒီမိုကေရစီႏိုင္ငံေတြ ျဖစ္ကုန္တယ္။ ဆိုဗီယက္ယူနီယံႀကီးၿပိဳကဲြသြားတယ္။ RFE ေရဒီ ယိုရဲ႕ေအာင္ျမင္မႈဟာ အဲဒီမွာတင္ မရပ္သြားဘူး။ အာရွတိုက္က နဂါးတေကာင္ရဲ႕ အႏၲရာယ္ကလည္းရိွေနျပန္ေတာ့ ေလ လိႈင္းစစ္ပဲြကို အဲဒီဘက္ဦးတည္ဖို႔ အေမရိကန္က ျပင္ဆင္တယ္။

(တခ်ိန္က ျမန္မာစစ္ေခါင္းေဆာင္ေတြလိုပဲ) RFA အင္တာနက္လိုင္းကို ပိတ္ထားတယ္။ ဒါေပမဲ့ တ႐ုတ္တခုထဲရည္ရြယ္ ၿပီး ေရဒီယို႒ာနႀကီးေထာင္ထားတာဆိုရင္လည္း RFA ေပၚလစီနဲ႔ မညီေတာ့ တျခားအာရွက ကြန္ျမဴနစ္ၾသဇာခံေတြနဲ႔ အာဏာရွင္ႏိုင္ငံေတြကို ဦးေႏွာက္ေဆးေၾကာဖို႔ ျဖစ္လာတယ္။ ဒါေၾကာင့္ တိဘက္၊ ျမန္မာ၊ လာအို၊ ကေမာၻရီးယား၊ ဗီ ယက္နမ္၊ ေျမာက္ကိုးရီးယားႏိုင္ငံေတြေရာ..ဘာသာစကား (၉) မ်ဳိးနဲ႔ လႊင့္ပါတယ္။

သမတနဲ႔ အတူပါလာတဲ့ သမတရံုး၀န္ႀကီး ဦးေအာင္မင္းနဲ႔ ဦးစိုးသိန္း တို႔ ၀ါရွင္တန္ ဒီစီက အာအက္ဖ္ေအရံုးအထိ ေရာက္ လာၿပီး အင္တာဗ်ဴးလာလုပ္တယ္။ ေမးတဲ့သူက စတိဗ္လိုေမးခြန္းမ်ဳိးေမးဖို႔ အၾကံမထြက္ဘူး။ ၀န္ႀကီးတို႔ ဘာေတြလုပ္ေန လဲဆိုတဲ့ ေမးခြန္းနဲ႔ ေရလာေျမာင္းေပး ၀ါဒျဖန္႔ခိုင္းတယ္။
ေဒၚစုနဲ႔ေပါင္းလုပ္တာ အဆင္ေျပရဲ႕လားဆိုၿပီး တဘက္သားကိုအေပၚစီးကေန ေျဖခိုင္းတယ္။ ၾက့ံဖြတ္အစိုးရက အာ အက္ဖ္ေအရံုးခန္းလာၿပီး အစိုးရကိုအေကာင္းျမင္ဖို႔ ေပ်ာ္ေပ်ာ္ပါးပါး ၀ါဒျဖန္႔ႏိုင္ခဲ့တယ္။ အရင္က သူတို႔ေၾကာက္ရတဲ့ မီဒီ ယာဟာ အခုေတာ့ သူတို႔ခါးပိုက္ထဲကမီဒီယာ ျဖစ္သြားတယ္။
တခ်ိန္က က်ေနာ္တို႔ဟာ ဒီမိုကေရစီေရးလႈပ္ရွားသူေတြ၊ NLD ပါတီနဲ႔ အတိုက္အခံ ႏိုင္ငံေရးသမားေတြကို အင္တာဗ်ဴး ရင္ေတာင္ ၀ါဒျဖန္႔မခိုင္းဘူး။ သတင္းက်င့္၀တ္နဲ႔ အညီေမးၾကတယ္။ ေခ်ာင္ပိတ္ေမးတယ္။ NLD ေျပာခြင့္ရ ဦးလြင္ဆို က်ေနာ္တို႔ကို ေဒါသထြက္တယ္။မေျဖဘူး။ တခ်ဳိ႕ႏိုင္ငံေရးသမားေတြ (နာမည္မေျပာလို) က်ိန္းေမာင္းဆူပူၿပီး ဖုန္းေတာင္ ခ်သြားတယ္။ က်ေနာ္တို႔တေတြ ႏိုင္ငံေရးသမားေတြနဲ႔ေတာင္ မိတ္ပ်က္ခဲ့တယ္။ ဒါေပမဲ့ ျပည္သူအမ်ားသိခ်င္တဲ့ စိတ္၀င္စားတဲ့ ေမးခြန္းပဲေမးခဲ့ပါတယ္။ ျပည္သူ႔ဆႏၵသာ မ်က္ႏွာမူခဲ့တယ္။
အရင္က NLD ကို အင္တာဗ်ဴးရင္ တျခား NLD မဟုတ္သူေတြကိုလည္း Balance ျဖစ္ေအာင္ (အခ်က္လက္အားပို ေကာင္းၿပီး၊ ေသာတရွင္ေတြ ေထာင့္စံုကေတြးျမင္သိရိွေအာင္) ေမးျမန္းရတယ္။ အစိုးရအရာရိွကိုေမးၿပီးရင္ အတိုက္အခံ ဘက္ေမးရတယ္။ အာအက္ဖ္ေအမွာ..အရည္အခ်င္းမရိွရင္ ေရရွည္မွာ က်ဆံုးမယ္။ သတင္းသမားအတြက္ အရည္အ ခ်င္းဟာ သက္လံုျဖစ္တယ္။ အရည္အခ်င္းရိွရင္ တာေ၀းေျပးရလည္း ခံႏိုင္ရည္ရိွတယ္။ တာတိုေျပးုလည္း အားမာန္ပါ တယ္။

ခုတေလာ အာအက္ဖ္ေအ ျမန္မာပိုင္းက သတင္းဆိုးေတြထြက္တယ္။ အယ္ဒီတာက်င့္၀တ္နဲ႔ မညီတာ၊ သတင္းသမား က်င့္၀တ္ မရိွၾကတာ၊ ဇာတ္တူသားစားတာ၊ လူႀကီးလုပ္ၿပီးမ်က္ႏွာလိုက္တာ၊ လူေမြး၊ အုပ္စုေမြးလုပ္တာ၊ ကိုယ့္လူမ ဟုတ္ရင္ ရာထူးတိုးမေပးတာ၊ ကိုယ့္လူဆိုရင္ ခုန္ပ်ံေက်ာ္လႊားရာထူးတိုးေပးတာ၊ အလုပ္ျဖဳတ္မယ္ဆိုၿပီး ၿခိမ္းေျခာက္ ထားတာ၊ အာဏာပါ၀ါျပတာ… စံုလို႔ စံုလို႔..။

ျပည္သူအမ်ားစုရဲ႕မ်က္ႏွာကို ေထာက္ထားသလား၊ ဘယ္ေလာက္ထိမွန္ကန္ၿပီး ဘယ္ေလာက္သမာသမတ္ရိွသလဲ ဆို တဲ့အရာေတြဟာ သတင္းဌာနေတြကိုတိုင္းတာတဲ့ ေပတံပဲ။ သတင္းသမားဆိုတာ ျပည္သူအမ်ားစုမ်က္ႏွာကလဲြၿပီး ဘယ္ ပုဂိၢဳလ္၊ ဘယ္အုပ္စုဘက္မွမရပ္ရဘူး။ ျပည္သူေတြကိုပဲ မ်က္ႏွာမူရမယ္၊ ျပည္သူဘက္ပဲရပ္ရမယ္လို႔ သတင္းသမားတိုင္း သိထားၾကပါတယ္။ ျပည္သူေတြကလည္း တေန႔ေန႔ တခ်ိန္ခ်ိန္မွာ ဘယ္သတင္းဌာနကေတာ့၊ ဘယ္သူေတြကေတာ့ သူတို႔ဘက္ရပ္တယ္၊ မရပ္ဘူးဆိုတာ ကဲြကဲြျပားျပား သိလာပါလိမ္႔မယ္။
ဒီေန႔အထိေတာ့ တခ်ိန္က လာျခင္းေကာင္းတဲ့ေအာင္ျမင္မႈရဲ႕ နာမည္အရိွန္အ၀ါေၾကာင့္ ယံုထင္ေၾကာင္ထင္ ျဖစ္ေနလိမ့္ မယ္။ ျပည္သူေတြကို ဟုတ္ႏိုးႏိုး ေမ်ာ္လင့္ခ်က္ေတြ မေပးေစခ်င္ဘူး။ အာအက္ဖ္ေအ ျမန္မာပိုင္းအေနနဲ႔ ကိုယ့္ေျခလွမ္း ကို ကိုယ္သတိျပဳၿပီး အျမန္ဆံုး လမ္းေၾကာင္းမွန္ကို ေလွ်ာက္ေစခ်င္တယ္။ ယခင္စစ္အစိုးရက ယခင္မူနဲ႔ ေရွ႕ဆက္သြား ဘို႔ မဟန္ေတာ့တာေၾကာင့္ ပံုစံတမ်ဳိးနဲ႔ေရွ႕တိုး ေရႊ႕ၾကည့္တာပါ။ ကိုယ့္ဘက္ကလည္း အေရႊ႕ေကာင္းဘို႔ လိုပါတယ္။
