Only mass movement will force Burma junta to talk - FDB
Jul 06, 2006 (DVB) - Only mass movement and fight will succeed in
forcing stubborn Burma's military junta, the State Peace and
Development Council (SPDC) into carrying
out political dialogues, an exiled Burmese political force, Forum for
Democracy in Burma (FDB) said today.

The comment came in a statement issued at the end of the first FDB
conference held
from 2 to 6 July.

"The public, the people inside are the main (force)," said FDB
joint-secretary Ngwe Lin.
"We have plans to get the international pressure, but we regard it as
the reserve (help).
In fact, we clearly see that internal forces and the public must do it
steadfastly and vigorously, and we want to point out that as long the
public doesn't do a mass movement, we will find it difficult to move
forward."

Ngwe Lin added that the public, regardless of racial or political
denominations, is
suffering under the stubbornness of the military junta and desperately
wants change.

"We assessed that in order to make these changes happen, they
themselves have to do
it. In order to do that, what kind of help we could give to them, what
kind of thing we
could do? What we could do is we are trying to make the sparks which
could occur at
any day become real mass movements through our people and contacts
(within Burma)"

When asked if the people would rise up inside Burma as they are filled
with fear
although they want change, Ngwe Lin said:

"When there is so much oppression, what we see externally is, they
are afraid and
subdued. But if something starts to happen, we could have a nationwide
uprising like
it was in (19)88. The reason is, before 1988, U Ne Win's government
oppressed
people like this. We assume that there will never be dialogues with the
stubbornness of
the army clique without the push of the public fight or the mass
movement. Although
we do not know when this matter will happen, we are determined to make
it happen
with the help of other forces."
