I’m glad they came out with this. It confirms their departure from separatist demands of old, and a forward looking way ahead. God speed and good luck.

This is an excellent statement and very timely indeed. I hope people take note and engage in positive activities in their efforts to see Burma as a free and democratic union made up of all the ethnic nationalities in the country. Good on the KNU/KNLA and God bless their efforts in their attempts to unit the country for the peace and good will of all the peoples who live there and free them of the tirany of oppression and hopelesness that has pagued this wonderful country for so long.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
