Bluffing
between the military government and one of the cease-fire groups - the
Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), also known as the
Chinese Kokang - turned into an armed clash last Thursday. Tens of
thousands of residents were sent fleeing to China's Yunnan province,
Thai and Chinese officials monitoring the border situation said.
With
the help of Burmese government troops, Kokang's stronghold Laogai has
now come under a splinter group led by the MNDAA's second in command,
Bai Souqian, who broke away with about 200 troops, who accounted for 20
per cent of the outfit's total troop strength.
"It's a
classical divide-and-conquer tactic. This is not the first time that
the Burmese junta has done this," said a senior Thai Army officer on
the border who spoke on condition of anonymity.
In
response, MNDAA chairman Peng Jiasheng has dispatched a small outfit to
carry out hit-and-run attacks against a Burmese outpost near the Kokang
capital of Laogai and pockets manned by Burmese government troops. 
Peng
has also reportedly secured the support of other cease-fire groups,
namely the 20,000-strong United Wa State Army (UWSA), Shan State
Army-North and Mong La-based National Democratic Alliance Army (NDAA),
an outfit headed by his son-in-law Lin Mingxian, also known as U Sai
Leun. Incidentally, the NDAA, on June 30, celebrated its 20th
anniversary of "peace" with the Burmese.
Both Thai and
Chinese sources downplayed the so-called military pact between the
Kokang and other ethnic armies. Personal connections and common
political and security interests aside, mobilising troops to take on
the Burmese soldiers is easier said than done.
"It's all about logistics," said the senior Thai Army officer.
"The
Burmese have all the holes plugged to prevent any major movement of
troops along the border," added a senior officer from Thailand's'
Narcotics Control Board.
In spite of the disturbing nature
of the development, Chinese officials along the border area say it
would not be in the interest of any stakeholder to let the situation
escalate out of hand into an all-out war.
Behind-the-scenes
diplomatic efforts are being taken to minimise the damage before the
situation spirals out of control, the Chinese officer said. 
But even if the shooting stops, where all sides go from
here is anybody's guess. It is undeniable that the two-decades-old
cease-fire agreements that were orchestrated by then security chief Lt
General Khin Nyunt in 1989 have been effectively shattered. 
But
for observers of the Golden Triangle, the real aim of this latest
development is not to smash the Kokang's hold on Laogai but to send a
brutal message to the 20,000-strong UWSA whose members are made up of
some very interesting characters. The Wa rank-in-file include opium
warlords and head-hunters turned militia. Chinese Red Guards who first
entered the areas three decades ago to preach Marxism later discovered
that opium was as good as gold, thus the moniker Golden Triangle. 
They,
too, joined forces with the Wa to seek fortune and glory. Prior to the
1989 cease-fire, Wa foot soldiers formed the largest block within the
Communist Party of Burma. And when the CPB broke up in 1989 along
ethnic lines, Khin Nyunt quickly neutralised the CPB remnants with a
series of cease-fire agreements. 
The end of the CPB
didn't mean the end of cross-border personal and political ties,
however. It means a proxy army has just changed its uniform. 
Ever
since Khin Nyunt was ousted in October 2004, the UWSA leadership, as
well as other cease-fire groups, have felt that their days were
numbered. Almost five years later, their worst fear came true. Their
two-decades-old cease-fire has effectively crumbled. 
"Picking
on the much smaller Kokang reflects the old Thai saying of 'slit the
chicken's throat to scare the monkeys'," said a Thai intelligence
officer. The monkeys in this case are of course the Wa.
The
Burmese junta will continue with its divide-and-conquer tactic, said
the Thai Army officer, pointing to the SPDC's relentless drive to split
the UWSA. They succeeded in bringing down the Karen National Union in
1994.
The UWSA's geographical foothold in the Golden
Triangle resembles that of a dumbbell - with the northern stronghold on
the Chinese border, while three regiments are situated near the Thai
border. Boa Yuxiang and his brothers control the north while Wei
Hsueh-kang and his brothers dominate the south.
The two
families can't stand each other but there is an understanding that
divided they fall. But that traditional acknowledgement is about to
end, said a Chinese official, pointing to the recent mobilising of
troops from Wei's Military Region 171 to head to the northern region. 
According
to the Chinese officer, Wei wants to break away from the UWSA and
dispatching troops to Bao's turf is a way of testing the waters. So why
can't Wei just announce the breakaway from a distance?
According
to Thai and Chinese officials, Wei has been under tremendous pressure
from the SPDC to press the UWSA to transform their outfit into a border
security guard under the control of the government's army, known as the
Tatmadaw. One leverage the SPDC can bring to bear on Wei is that much
of his money is invested in Burma while Bao does his banking and money
laundering in China.
Since the 1989 cease-fire, Burmese
troops were not permitted to enter the territories under the control of
these ethnic armies unescorted. In most cases, they had to be disarmed.

Last week's clash was a rude indication that things are
about to change. In real terms, this could mean hundreds of thousands
of villagers running for their lives to China. Thailand is watching the
development closely in case the UWSA's three regiments along its border
are drawn into the fight.
For Thailand, it would mean more
refugees to look after. For China, it could very well mean the
annihilation of an old friendship, namely with the UWSA, whose bonds
with the Chinese leadership go all the way back to the days of the
communist insurgency.
Loyalty dies hard in the rugged
Golden Triangle where warlords play for keeps. Some said friendship
between the Chinese leaders and their proxies are forever. Apparently,
the Burmese junta is saying it's time to part.

<ul type="1">果敢政权覆灭解读关键 
 
外界猜测美国参议员韦伯到访缅甸后缅甸政府就出兵果敢，说明是美国在暗中支持缅甸政府。关于这个说法，程瑞声大使并不认可。他说:「美国与缅甸的关系，如果说有所好转，也只停留在接触的层面。美国是否和此事有关，还需要进一步的观察。」

"Shooting an Elephant" is an essay by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Orwell" title="George Orwell">George Orwell</a>, written during the autumn of 1936. Orwell tells of shooting an elephant in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire" title="British Empire">British</a>-controlled <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burma" title="Burma">Burma</a> as an Imperial Policeman in 1926.
 

Britain conquered <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burma" title="Burma">Burma</a> over a period of sixty-two years (1823—1886), during which three <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Burmese_War" title="Anglo-Burmese War" class="mw-redirect">Anglo-Burmese Wars</a> took place, and incorporated it into its Indian Empire. Burma was administered as a province of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India" title="India">India</a> until 1937 when it became a separate, self-governing colony; independence was attained as a result of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aung_San%E2%80%93Attlee_agreement&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Aung San–Attlee agreement (page does not exist)">Aung San–Attlee agreement</a> which guaranteed Burmese independence. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aung_San" title="Aung San">Aung San</a> was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin" title="Assassin" class="mw-redirect">assassinated</a> after the agreement was formalized, but before it took effect and Burma attained its independence on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_4" title="January 4">January 4</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948" title="1948">1948</a>.

With a strong interest in the lives of the working class, George
Orwell (born 1903 in India to a middle-class family but brought up in
Britain) held the post of Assistant Superintendent in the British
Imperial Police from 1922 to 1927. Obliged to enforce the laws of an
imperial power with which he came to disagree, Orwell's distaste for
totalitarian regimes developed. His criticisms of totalitarianism that
came to fruition in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four" title="Nineteen Eighty-Four">Nineteen Eighty-Four</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Farm" title="Animal Farm">Animal Farm</a> have their foundations in his years in Burma.
 

<h2>Synopsis</h2>

In Moulmein, the unnamed narrator is a police officer during a
period of intense anti-European sentiment. Although his intellectual
sympathies lie with the Burmese, his official role makes him a symbol
of the oppressive imperial power. As such, he is subjected to constant
baiting by the local people.

After receiving a call regarding a normally tame elephant's rampage (due probably to the animal coming into '<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musth" title="Musth">musth</a>'), the narrator, armed with a .44 caliber <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchester_rifle" title="Winchester rifle">Winchester rifle</a>
and mounted on a pony, heads to the bazaar where the elephant has been
seen. Entering one of the poorest quarters, he receives conflicting
reports and contemplates leaving, thinking the incident is a hoax. The
narrator then sees a village woman chasing away children who are
looking at the corpse of an Indian whom the elephant has trampled and
killed. He sends an orderly to bring an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant_rifle" title="Elephant rifle" class="mw-redirect">elephant rifle</a> and, followed by a crowd of roughly two thousand people, heads toward the paddy field where the elephant has stopped to graze.

The narrator originally sent for the elephant gun for his own
protection, and when he sees that the elephant has reverted to its
normal docile state he knows that he ought not to shoot it. He is
aware, however, that the crowd fully expects him to kill the elephant,
and realizes that he is, in fact, trapped by their expectations. At
that moment, he becomes aware that to be a tyrant is to be unfree: in
dealing with the "natives," a white man must always be resolute, and
above all must never be laughed at. If he were to go closer in an
attempt to gauge the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musth" title="Musth">musth</a>
of the elephant and prove to have misjudged its mood, a sudden charge
would see him reduced to a hideous corpse - probably to the amusement
of the crowd. "That would never do," he concludes.

Aiming for the location of the elephant's brain (inaccurately, as he
later learns) he fires a shot that brings it to its knees. After
another shot, the elephant regains its footing only to be brought down
with a third round. It is still alive, and the narrator fires two more
heavy rounds and then a clip of regular rifle rounds into the beast—all
to no avail. He leaves the scene, while the crowd wait for the elephant
to die so that they can strip it of its meat. Afterwards his white
colleagues are divided in their opinion as to whether he acted
correctly in shooting the elephant; he wonders whether any of them ever
grasped that his sole reason for doing so was to avoid looking like a
fool.

An anti-imperialist essayist, Orwell frequently and clearly states
his displeasure with colonial Britain: "I had already made up my mind
that imperialism was an evil thing... I was all for the Burmese and all
against their oppressors, the British." Trapped in a system not of his
own making, he adds, "all I knew was that I was stuck between my hatred
of the empire I served ... I was only an absurd puppet pushed to and
fro by the will of those yellow faces behind." Reflectively, the
narrator realizes that being forced to impose strict laws and to shoot
the elephant--he states his feelings against the act, but submits after
comprehending he "had got to shoot the elephant"--illustrates an
inherent problem of hegemony: "when the white man turns tyrant it is
his own freedom that he destroys." By enforcing the strict British
rule, he is forfeiting his freedom while concurrently oppressing the
Burmese. A call to end imperialism, "Shooting an Elephant", ironically,
appeals to the British to cease colonialism to maintain their freedom.

<h2>[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shooting_an_Elephant&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Fact or fiction">edit</a>] Fact or fiction</h2>

The degree to which the story is fiction has been disputed. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Crick" title="Bernard Crick">Bernard Crick</a>, who wrote a biography of Orwell, George Orwell: A Life,
has cast doubt on the idea that Orwell himself actually shot an
elephant. No independent account of Orwell's actions has been found and
there was no official record of the incident, which was unusual
considering the destruction of valuable property. Peter Davison, the
editor of Orwell's Complete Works, includes an interview with George Stuart, a contemporary of Orwell's in Burma, who said that Orwell was transferred to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathar" title="Kathar">Kathar</a> as punishment for shooting an elephant. Davison also includes in the complete works a news item from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rangoon_Gazette&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Rangoon Gazette (page does not exist)">Rangoon Gazette</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_22" title="March 22">22 March</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1926" title="1926">1926</a> which describes a Major E. C. Kenny shooting an elephant in similar circumstances.

Samuel Bourne. 1870. Moulmein from the Great Pagoda</div>
</div>
</div>

Mandalay is a famous poem by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudyard_Kipling" title="Rudyard Kipling">Rudyard Kipling</a> that was first published in the collection <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrack-Room_Ballads" title="Barrack-Room Ballads">Barrack-Room Ballads, and Other Verses</a>, the first series, published in 1892.

The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandalay" title="Mandalay">Mandalay</a> referred to in this poem was the sometime capital city of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burma" title="Burma">Burma</a>, which was a British colony from 1885 to 1948. It mentions the old Moulmein pagoda, Moulmein being the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglicised" title="Anglicised" class="mw-redirect">Anglicised</a> version of present-day <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mawlamyine" title="Mawlamyine">Mawlamyine</a>.

The British troops stationed in Burma were taken up (or down) the
Irrawady River by paddle steamers. Rangoon to Mandalay was a 700 Km
trip each way.
 

<h2>Song</h2>

Kipling's text was adapted for the song "On the Road to Mandalay" by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oley_Speaks" title="Oley Speaks">Oley Speaks</a> (among others). The song was popularised by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Dawson" title="Peter Dawson">Peter Dawson</a>. It appears in the album <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_Fly_with_Me_%28album%29" title="Come Fly with Me (album)">Come Fly with Me</a> by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Sinatra" title="Frank Sinatra">Frank Sinatra</a>.

The song is published with only first, second and last verse of the
poem, with the chorus; although singers sometimes omit the second
verse. The Kipling family objected to Sinatra's version of the song.
When the album was initially released in the UK, the song "French
Foreign Legion" replaced "Mandalay", whilst apparently the song
"Chicago" (and "It Happened in Monterey" on some pressings) were used
in other parts of the British Commonwealth. Sinatra sang the song in
Australia, in 1959, and relayed the story of the Kipling family
objection to the song. In 2008, in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Guy" title="Family Guy">Family Guy</a> episode <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_a_Third_Grade_Nothing" title="Tales of a Third Grade Nothing">Tales of a Third Grade Nothing</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Sinatra_Jr." title="Frank Sinatra Jr." class="mw-redirect">Sinatra's Son</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seth_MacFarlane" title="Seth MacFarlane">Seth MacFarlane</a> spoofed the song.

<div id="article_body" style="padding-left: 10px;">


BANGKOK -- A Burmese government crackdown on powerful ethnic militias
that have challenged its rule for more than 60 years has driven 10,000
refugees into neighboring <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/world/countries/china.html?nav=el" target="">China</a>, prompting a rare rebuke from Chinese authorities, the Burmese regime's key allies.

<div id="body_after_content_column">

The refugees fled over the border into China's Yunnan province in the
past few days after fighting erupted between Burmese government troops
and ethnic militia fighters from the Kokang region of the nation also
known as Myanmar.

China called on the Burmese authorities to "properly handle domestic
problems and maintain stability in the China-Myanmar border region,"
according to a statement from Foreign Ministry spokesman Jiang Yu. "We
also urge Myanmar to protect the security and legal rights of Chinese
citizens in Myanmar."

China has been balancing support for the Burmese government with
backing for the armed ethnic groups that occupy much of the Burmese
side of the border. The border regions are heavily influenced by China,
with many Chinese businesses taking advantage of the trade in gems,
timber and jade.

Analysts say the fighting is just the most obvious sign of tensions
arising from the Burmese government's desire to control the armed
ethnic groups with which it has co-existed uneasily since a round of
cease-fires that began 20 years ago ended decades of open conflict.

The recent fighting in the Kokang region has pitted government
troops against the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army as well as
drawing in other ethnic groups involved in the cease-fire including the
United Wa State Army, which with about 20,000 fighters is the largest
ethnic army in the country.


A cease-fire agreement between the government and the National Democratic Alliance Army had been in place since 1989.

One person on Chinese territory has been killed by a bomb flung across the border LINCANG (Yunnan) <a href="http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Asia/Story/STIStory_423224.html">ST</a>-
FRESH fighting in north-east Myanmar erupted yesterday morning after
days of clashes that killed at least one person on Chinese territory
and sent dozens of wounded to hospitals along the Chinese border. Tens
of thousands of people have fled to the border town of Nansan in
China's Yunnan province this month after clashes in Kokang in Myanmar's
Shan state, following the deployment of Myanmar government troops in
the area. 'Our information is that as many as 30,000 people may
have taken shelter in Nansan since Aug 8, saying they were fleeing
fighting between Myanmar government troops and ethnic minority groups,'
said spokesman Andrej Mahecic for the UN refugee agency. Chinese
soldiers are guarding the border area, which has been sealed off, said
a staff member at the Zhenkang County Public Security Bureau, who gave
only his surname, Hui. One person was killed and several people
were injured by a bomb thrown across the Chinese border on Friday, Mr
He Yongchun, deputy president of Yunnan branch of the Chinese Red
Cross, told the China Daily. 'We have received at least 22
injured people sent from Nansan. Most of them are from Myanmar,' a
woman working at the surgical department of Zhenkang People's Hospital
told Reuters by phone. Nansan is a town in Zhenkang county. China
has called on Myanmar to maintain stability in the border region and
sought more measures to protect the security and legal rights of
Chinese citizens there. Beijing is one of Myanmar's few
diplomatic backers, often coming to the rescue when it is subjected to
pressure by Western governments over issues such as the imprisonment of
opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The leader of the Kokang
Group which is fighting Myanmar's army said his forces had captured at
least 50 soldiers as well as killed more than 30 troops on Thursday and
Friday, the Chinese-language Global Times newspaper reported on its
website. -- REUTERS, AP

(<a href="http://www.radioaustralianews.net.au/stories/200908/2670916.htm?desktop">ABC Radio</a>) -In Burma, the leader of rebel ethnic forces claims they have killed more than 30 government soldiers. Chinese
state media says fresh fighting broke out on Saturday in the country's
remote northeast between the military and rebel ethnic forces. The
United Nations says clashes in Burma's remote northeast have also
driven up to 30-thousand refugees across the border into Nansan in
China's Yunnan province. It says this has led to China issuing a rare warning to its neighbour and ally to resolve the conflict. Battles
that erupted this week in Kokang, a mainly ethnic Chinese region of
Burma's Shan state, have violated a 20 year ceasefire. There are fears the fighting could escalate into full-scale civil war.

<a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.irrawaddy.org/opinion_story.php?art_id=16666">The Irrawaddy Editorial</a> The
increased tension and fighting between Burmese troops and ethnic armies
along the Sino-Burmese border has sent thousands of refugees fleeing to
China. This has prompted Chinese foreign ministry officials to express
hope that Burma can 「properly deal with its domestic issue to safeguard
the regional stability of its bordering area with China.」 Authorities
in the southeastern Chinese province of Yunnan say some 10,000 people
have already fled across the border from Burma in recent days due to
the recent clashes. Most are Burmese-born Chinese and Chinese nationals
living along the border. Over the past few months, Beijing has
been engaging in quiet diplomacy with Naypyidaw to urge the Burmese
junta to solve the ethnic issue along the border in a peaceful way.
When Gen Maung Aye visited Beijing in June, Chinese leaders again
requested him not to use force against ethnic ceasefire groups and to
maintain stability there. Burmese leaders are also reportedly
unhappy, as Chinese continue to support ethnic groups along the border.
Many Burmese military leaders harbor anti-China sentiments, as China
has in the past heavily backed ethnic armies and the now defunct
Communist Party of Burma (CPB). The Wa and Chinese from the Kokang
region were former members of the CPB. However, it seems the
Burmese leaders did not listen to China』s advice. Instead, the regime
went ahead with plans to press the ethnic groups near the border to
disarm and form border guard forces. The regime aims to complete this
transformation before elections are held next year. The current
conflict has been 20 years in the making. It is a direct result of the
regime』s refusal to grant the ethnic ceasefire groups the
self-determination they seek within the framework of a federal union. The
greatest irony of this situation is that China, a major arms supplier
and staunch ally of the repressive regime for the past two decades, has
proven to be impotent in its efforts to persuade the junta leaders to
find a political solution to this issue. China has consistently
backed the regime at the UN Security Council, exercising its veto power
to block resolutions condemning the regime for its brutal repression of
dissent, arguing that these actions do not represent a threat to international security. In
early August, Chinese foreign ministry officials even defended the
regime』s decision to sentence detained Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung
San Suu Kyi to a further 18 months under house arrest, saying that the
international community must respect Burma』s judicial sovereignty. After
decades of defending the junta, China』s leaders are learning the hard
way that the Burmese junta』s sole concern is its own self-preservation.
It cares as little about what Beijing wants as it does about the
democratic aspirations of Burma』s people. Like it or not,
Beijing』s approach to Burma—and its status as an emerging superpower—is
being put to the test. Unless it can find a way to rein in the
generals, China risks not only instability along its border with Burma,
but also appearing to be powerless to defend its own interests.

By WAI MOE <a href="http://www.irrawaddy.org/highlight.php?art_id=16667">The Irrawaddy News</a> Fighting
near the Sino-Burmese border came to an abrupt halt today after about
700 Kokang troops handed over their weapons to Chinese officials
following days of clashes that sent thousands fleeing across the border. Aung
Kyaw Zaw, a Burmese military analyst who is close to the Kokang, told
The Irrawaddy on Saturday that at least 700 soldiers from the Myanmar
National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), an ethnic-Kokang militia,
crossed the border into China today and surrendered their arms to local
officials. Kokang troops at a ceremony marking the 20th anniversary of the founding of the MNDAA. He
added that troops from the United Wa State Army (UWSA), a much larger
force allied to the Kokang, have been repositioned to Wa-controlled
territory. The Irrawaddy was unable to verify this information with other independent sources. The
sudden end to the fighting came a day after Kokang and UWSA troops
ambushed a convoy of Burmese army vehicles in Kokang territory.
According to unconfirmed reports, more than a dozen Burmese soldiers
were killed in the attack. On Thursday, a 20-year ceasefire
between the Burmese army and the armed ethnic groups broke down after
government forces moved to occupy Kokang territory. Since then, the
Burmese army has sent reinforcements into the area from Light Infantry
Divisions 33 and 99. The crisis began on Monday, when tens of
thousands of refugees, including Chinese businessmen, started flooding
across the border into China from Laogai, a town in Kokang territory.
Cross-border trade in Laogai has since come to a standstill and trading
at other border checkpoints has decreased, say sources in the area. The
rapidly deteriorating situation caused consternation in Beijing, which
has long had close relations with both sides in the conflict. Chinese
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Jiang Yu said China hoped the Burmese
junta would deal with the situation properly and ensure stability along
the border and protect Chinese citizens in Burma. 「China is following the situation closely and has expressed concern to Myanmar ,」 said Jiang. Some
observers said that junta head Snr-Gen Than Shwe』s decision to send
troops into Kokang territory despite China』s concerns showed his
determination to demonstrate that he will not be constrained by Beijing. 「The
Burmese junta doesn』t care what anybody thinks, so I don』t think the
generals are thinking about China』s response,」 said Chan Tun, a former
Burmese ambassador to China. But while Naypyidaw showed little
concern about the consequences of renewed fighting in the area, Beijing
couldn』t ignore the worsening situation, as Chinese living near the
border expressed outrage at the Burmese military』s actions. 「I feel upset with the Burmese government. The Kokang people have Chinese blood. And in China, many people are so angry that they are urging the Chinese government to send troops to help the Kokang,」 said a Chinese journalist who spoke on condition of anonymity. Although
Beijing appears to have defused the potentially explosive situation for
the time being, it remains to be seen if fighting will resume between
the Burmese and the Wa, who command a much larger military force than
the Kokang. The current conflict stems from the refusal of
ethnic ceasefire groups, including Kokang, Wa, Kachin and Shan
militias, to transform themselves into border security forces under
Burmese military command. The 20,000-strong UWSA presents the
greatest obstacle to Burmese ambitions to pacify the country』s borders
after six decades of civil conflict. Although they were among the first
ethnic groups to sign a ceasefire agreement with the current regime in
1989, they have also been the most resistant to any effort to weaken
their hold over their territory. In Rangoon, news of the clashes
in the country』s north has revived memories of the insurgencies that
wracked the region for decades. 「People here are talking about
it at teashops. They are saying that this is the return of civil war,」
said an editor of a private weekly journal in Rangoon. Meanwhile,
Burma』s main opposition party, the National League for Democracy (NLD),
called for a peaceful resolution of the ongoing conflict in northern
Burma. 「We want the junta to resolve the issue in a peaceful way
with ethnic groups,」 NLD spokesman Han Thar Myint told The Irrawaddy on
Saturday. 「The cause of the conflict is the Burmese regime』s failure to
resolve problems in the country politically.」

</h3>

By Khin Maung Win - Oslo (<a href="http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2009/08/28/opinion/opinion_30110853.php">The Nation</a>)
-The visit by US Senator Jim Webb to Burma, in which he won the release
of John William Yettaw, who was sentenced to 7 years' imprisonment with
hard labour for swimming across Inya lake to the home of Burmese
democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi, draws scepticism from some
stakeholders in Burmese politics. Since
the administration of President Obama stated that its Burma policy is
under review, those in the camp who supported the previous US sanctions
policy are concerned about the direction of the prospective new policy. The
major concern is that the policy shift would change the equation
between the regime and its opponents by favouring Burma's ruling State
Peace and Development Council (SPDC), and would legitimise the regime
and its controversial 2010 election. As of now the election is a
critical battlefield on which the fight between the SPDC and the
opposition groups will be played out. It is a fact that both
engagement policies advocated by Asean, Burma's neighbours and other
Asian nations, and the sanctions and isolation policy held by the US
and EU have equally failed to bring any positive change in Burma.
Looking for an alternative becomes a natural reality. Previous
attempts by the US to use its power via the UN Security Council have
never been realised due to vetoes from China and Russia. These two
countries also intervened when the US, along with the UK and France,
tried to practise "Responsibility to Protect" to save the victims of
Cyclone Nargis that hit Burma in May 2008, leaving 135,000 dead and
over two million homeless while the Burmese regime denied immediate
humanitarian aid from outside. The US must find an alternative policy
so that it can exercise its power to help 55 million Burmese people. The
US is the power the SPDC despises most, but at the same time, will
listen to most if it has to. Some suggest that Senator Webb's success
in meeting with Senior General Than Shwe and Aung San Suu Kyi is a
result of mounting international pressure, which the regime wants to
defuse following Aung San Suu Kyi's sentencing on August 11. While
the US needs to send a former president, Bill Clinton, to North Korea
to secure the freedom of two Americans and to meet reclusive leader Kim
Jong-il, it was politically cheaper for it to send only a senator to
secure the freedom of Yettaw and meet Burma's reclusive leader. It
indicates that the Burmese regime will listen to the US when it has to,
even though unwillingly. But the US cannot unilaterally exercise
its power. Bringing more nations on board, along with a new policy,
whilst remaining in the driving seat, would make a difference. Some
suggest the Obama administration is sending a mixed message to the
regime, with the US president's recent renewal of Burma sanctions
contradicting calls from some senior US officials for "affirmative
engagement". Should we not see the renewal as a signal from the US that
sanctions remain a possible punishment, whereas the doorway has been
opened for engagement? Should it be understood as a "carrot and stick"
policy which offers engagement in the first place and punishment later?
This is not a new approach in dealing with Burma. Australia, for
example, in the early 1990s advocated a similar concept using the name
of "Benchmark Policy". The division among the international
players has allowed the regime's survival over the last two decades.
Once the US develops a new policy, it must be able to bring more
nations on board from both camps - those advocating engagement and
those advocating sanctions and isolation. The carrot and stick
approach, offering engagement and sanctions, with proper use of both in
a balanced manner, could be a bridge to bring both camps closer. It
means that the new US policy must be multilateral, not unilateral. Some
Asian countries, including Asean members, India and China, may have
prioritised their own interests when engaging with the regime. They are
also major trading partners of the regime, and some supply weapons. A
few may even wish that Burma never becomes a democracy. Some
democracies, namely India and Japan, compromise universally-accepted
values that are in practise in their countries, just for national
interest - by giving in too much to the SPDC. This shows that countries
in the engagement camp have less interest in changing Burma's status
quo. Unlike these nations, the US is freer from any conflict of
interest when it comes to Burma policy, whether using sanctions or
engagement. It mainly sticks to the idea of sympathy for 55 million
Burmese suffering under repressive military rulers for half a century. Its
democratic structure at home is unlikely to allow the US to compromise
its values of human rights, freedom, justice, multi-party democracy and
market economy when it comes to Burma policy. Planting such
universally-accepted values in Burma can only be good. Sympathy
for the Burmese people, within the White House, State Department and
both houses of Congress, as well as strong Burma advocacy groups in the
country, could reduce the risk of a new US policy becoming another
failed engagement. The regime is not afraid to insult any
international organisation, including Asean, the EU and UN. A recent
example of how the regime blatantly fouled the international community
was during UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's trip to Burma in early
July. Most people assumed that pre-arrangements for his visit included
securing the freedom of Aung San Suu Kyi, or at least meeting with her.
The regime easily snubbed the secretary-general by denying him a
meeting with Aung San Suu Kyi. But the regime knows that it is
difficult for it to insult the US the same way. Of course, it is up to
the US to determine whether it will allow itself to be insulted. Khin
Maung Win is deputy executive director of the Democratic Voice of
Burma, a Burmese radio and TV station based in Oslo. The views
expressed in the article are his own.

(<a href="http://english.dvb.no/news.php?id=2820">DVB</a>)–Around
30,000 refugees have crossed into China according to UN estimates as
fighting between Burmese troops and ceasefire groups sparked a rare
admonishment from China』s foreign ministry. A
spokesperson for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
(UNHCR) said today that between 10,000 and 30,000 civilians have fled
Burma』s northern Shan state into China in recent days. Fighting broke out between Burmese army troops and the Kokang ceasefire group yesterday after weeks of heightening tension. Kokang
troops yesterday attacked a police outpost near to Laogai town close to
the China-Burma border, killing one Burmese police officer and injuring
two. The Kokang group has been joined by the United Wa State
Army, Burma』s largest ceasefire group who had held a 20-year truce with
the government. Today China』s foreign ministry issued a
statement urging Burma to "properly deal with its domestic issue to
safeguard the regional stability in the China-Myanmar border
area". "We also urge Myanmar to protect the safety and legal
rights of Chinese citizens in Myanmar," said spokesperson Jiang Yu in
the statement. China is a key ally of Burma』s ruling junta, and seldom criticizes the internal affairs of its southern neighbour. The
mass of refugees pouring into China however, in addition to reports
that a Burmese army shell fired across the border today killed a
Chinese troop, has created a rare fissure between the two countries. China has reportedly increased its troop patrols along the border area, and is said to be assisting the refugees. 「We
have been informed that local authorities in Yunnan Province have
already provided emergency shelter, food and medical care to the
refugees,」 said the UNHRC spokesperson Andrej Mahecic. Local sources report that a number of civilians have also escaped into inner Shan state. Reporting by Francis Wade

in Burma should be dealt with urgently, since most people struggle to
afford three meals a day, Ka Hsaw Wa said. But obtaining evidence is
almost impossible, he said. "It's simply economic plunder," Ka
Hsaw Wa said, adding that "99.9 percent of the ruling junta, from a
normal soldier to the top generals, are completely corrupt." He
said corruption within the military should be apparent to friendly
foreign governments like China, but they look the other way. "We
won't turn a blind eye to that (corruption), of course," said Ethan
Sun, a spokesman at the Chinese Embassy in Manila. He added, however,
that trade and economic cooperation "benefit the peoples of both
countries." China has often supported the junta against international pressure in the past. Most
ruling Burmese generals live in sprawling, heavily guarded compounds
which are off-limits to the public, he said. When a secret video of the
lavish 2006 wedding of Snr-Gen Than Shwe's daughter surfaced on
YouTube, it caused outrage in his country. International
watchdogs have consistently ranked Burma among the world's most corrupt
nations. Transparency International's 2008 list put it next to last,
ahead of only Somalia. The junta does not publicly respond to
accusations of corruption, but it has launched anti-corruption drives
mostly targeting low-level offenses. A call to the embassy in Manila
was not answered Thursday. "A lot of countries want to swallow
Burma alive, it's so rich in natural resources," Ka Hsaw Wa said. "But
they try not to see (corruption) in a way that they can do business
there." While the Burmese government officially restricts
logging, middle-level military officers have cut down huge swaths of
rain forests for personal profit, he said. Ka Hsaw Wa, a member
of Burma's ethnic Karen minority, was a 17-year-old student activist
when the government violently suppressed 1988 pro-democracy
demonstrations. After his arrest, he fled to the jungle where he
witnessed atrocities committed against villagers, the Ramon Magsaysay
Award Foundation said. EarthRights, the nonprofit group he
co-founded, filed a case in the United States in 1996 against the
US-based oil company Unocal for alleged complicity in human rights and
environmental abuses committed by Burma's military in the building of
the Yadana gas pipeline. After 10 years of litigation, Unocal agreed to
compensate the 11 petitioners. EarthRights also runs a school in Thailand that trains young people from Burma and other countries in nonviolent social change.

skirmishes broke out between the Burmese army and the Myanmar National
Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) on Thursday near the Kokang capital,
Laogai, in northeast Shan State, as tension between Naypyidaw and the
ethnic Kokang ceasefire group boiled over. The
MNDAA, led by Chairman Peng Jiasheng, was reportedly joined in a
counteroffensive against the Burmese army by its military allies,
National Democratic Alliance Army, also known as the Mong La group, and
the United Wa State Army (UWSA). According to sources on the
Sino-Burmese border, gunfire was exchanged between the Burmese army and
the ethnic ceasefire groups at three different bases near the Kokang
stronghold of Laogai for several hours on Thursday. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ktL92-y_KKY/SpcgAEl9WoI/AAAAAAAABkc/TVingLOwsYY/s1600-h/KOKANGceasefire_map.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 162px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ktL92-y_KKY/SpcgAEl9WoI/AAAAAAAABkc/TVingLOwsYY/s200/KOKANGceasefire_map.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374799865895017090" border="0"></a>The
red circle (see arrow) located southeast of Muse on the Sino-Burmese
border is the location of tension between junta and Kokang troops. (Map
created by Transnational Institute) The sources said the Kokang troops and their allies took back one base from the Burmese army. No casualties were reported. 「The
clashes occurred between the Burmese troops and the Kokang Battalion 7
near Laogai,」 said Aung Kyaw Zaw, a Burmese military analyst based on
the Sino-Burmese border. 「As far as I know, the Kokang have taken back one of their bases,」 he added. Also
on Thursday, gunfire broke out briefly in Yanlon, a town near Laogai,
when a unit of MNDAA soldiers encircled a group of Burmese policemen
who exchanged fire before escaping to the Chinese side of the border,
according to sources on the Sino-Burmese border. Aung Kyaw Zaw told The Irrawaddy that the Burmese police officers inadvertently shot at each other as they fled over the border. Another source said that at least one Burmese police officer had died during the clash. 「At least seven policemen fled into China. They were later sent back to the Burmese side by Chinese police,」 he said. The
skirmish came after about 1,000 soldiers of the Burmese armed forces,
or Tatmadaw, seized the Kokang stronghold of Laogai without a shot
being fired on Monday night. Recent tensions had escalated
leading up to the fall of Laogai with a drugs raid on the house of Peng
Jiasheng, and a military build-up by the Burmese army in the area. In
recent weeks, an estimated 10,000 Kokang civilians have fled to the
Chinese side of the border where they are being temporarily sheltered
by Chinese authorities. MNDAA Chairman Peng Jiasheng, who
abandoned his house in Laogai before the Burmese army entered the town,
reportedly fled with his troops to the base of his closest ally, the
UWSA, from where he released a statement on Thursday urging the Burmese
regime to withdraw all its troops from Laogai and seek a peaceful
solution to the conflict, said Aung Kyaw Zaw. But tensions still
remain high between the Burmese junta and the ethnic ceasefire groups
in northeastern Burma as the Tatmadaw steps up its military maneuvers
in the region, he said. Analysts have said that after if they
successfully oust the MNDAA from its stronghold, the Burmese regional
military commanders will likely turn their focus to the other ceasefire
groups. 「After the Burmese regime has control of the Kokang
situation, it will make a move on the Mong La group,」 said Saeng Juen,
one of the editors of the Thailand-based Shan Herald Agency for News. Instead
of armed attacks though, the Burmese regime will likely explore
alternative methods to break down the ceasefire groups, including the
strongest insurgent army, the UWSA, said Saeng Juen. About 700 Chinese troops have been deployed along the Sino-Burmese border for security reasons, he added. After the fall of Laogai, several defecting MNDAA leaders were appointed by the Burmese regime as the new Kokang leaders. However,
in his statement, Peng Jiasheng rejected the formation of a new Kokang
leadership, saying the new leaders did not represent the Kokang people,
said Aung Kyaw Zaw. Meanwhile, the Burmese authorities have released an arrest warrant for Peng Jiasheng and the commanders loyal to him. The MNDAA signed a ceasefire agreement with the Burmese military government in 1989.

- With China keen on opening one more border trade checkpoint with
Burma, a boost in trade is likely by corporates in Northern Thailand
and southern China. Thailand』s Department
of Exporting Promotion organized an event on Wednesday to promote
trading and investing in Xishuangbanna Prefecture in Yunnan Province,
southern China close to Shan State in Burma. Apmornphan Nimanan,
Chiang Mai province Governor presided over the event and said that
Thailand and Xishuangbanna have close cultural ties. Besides,
transportation is smooth along Mekong River and over land by R3A route
between Thailand – Lao – China or R3B between Thailand – Burma – China,
according to a report in the government run Thailand』s News Bureau
website. Earlier, regarding discussions with officials in
Chiang Rai Province, Qian Min, the Director of Trade Office』s
Xixuangbanna said R3B is the shorter route but there are many
checkpoints in Burma that result in excessive transport costs. 「Our
officials will discuss this issue with the Burmese authority in Keng
Tung and open the Mongla-Daluo border checkpoint soon,」 he said. Kieng
Tung is located in Shan State, Burma. The Burmese side of the
Mongla-Daluo checkpoint is under the control of the ceasefire group the
National Democratic Alliance Army-Eastern Shan State (NDAA-ESS), led by
Sai Linn aka Lin Mingxian, which is also known as Shan State Special
Region 4. Dao Linyin, Governor of Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous
Prefecture said in Chiang Mai that the R3A is used officially, which
would benefit trading between China and Southeast Asian nations. 「China would speed up cooperation with Thailand in commercial, investment and tourism and infrastructure development. We will also provide more support for investors with special privileges. If there are problems that the local government can solve, we will do so immediately,」 she said. Early
this year, Chinese authorities placed restrictions on this border
checkpoint to curb drug smuggling, where trading and other business
including casinos were affected. Burma』s cross-border trade
was banned by the late dictator Gen. Ne Win after the military assumed
power in 1962 but the ban was lifted following negotiations in 1988. Bilateral
trade has risen steadily since, increasing by 60 per cent in the fiscal
year ending 31 March, 2008, and constitutes 24 per cent of Burma's
trade, making China a major trading partner, second only to Thailand. Trading
between China and Thailand has also risen steadily. In 2008 it was more
than 36,000 million US$ which rose by about 20 per cent compared to
2007 but the global economic meltdown resulted in a significant drop
early this year.

– The palpable tension between Kokang and Burmese troops, finally
sparked a clash on Thursday with at least three separate gun battles
taking place along the Sino-Burmese border. The
first clash, according to border sources, occurred at about 7 a.m.
(local time) near the town of Yan Lone Chai on the Sino-Burmese border.
In another incident, the Peng Jiasheng led faction of the Kokang Army
ambushed government troops which were trailing them in the jungle.
Later in the evening, the two armies skirmished near the town of Chin
Shui Haw along the border for more than an hour. 「The battle has begun between the Kokang and the junta』s troops,」 said Sino-Burmese border based analyst Aung Kyaw Zaw. On Tuesday, he told Mizzima that fighting seemed imminent as tension between the two groups was building up. According
to Aung Kyaw Zaw and other observers, tension began to mount between
the Peng Jiasheng led Kokang rebels and Tatmadaw soldiers after the
Kokang, like many other armed ceasefire groups, rejected the junta』s
proposal of transforming their army into a Border Guard Force to be
controlled by the regime. Unable to persuade the ceasefire
groups to transform, the junta had extended the deadline for the groups
to decide on the proposal to October. Though Peng and his
loyalists had rejected the proposal, the junta exploited fissures in
the Kokang force as Bai Xuoqian, deputy to Peng, was keen to comply
with the junta』s proposal. Meanwhile,
government troops have been infiltrating Kokang Special Region (1)
under the pretext of drug eradication, setting up a Regional Operation
Command in Lao Kai. Government troops and police raided
Peng』s residence in Lao Kai on August 8 and again on August 21. But
Peng evaded both the raids. Following the raids, the Lashio
police station on August 22 served a summons to Peng and three other
colleagues, including his brother, to appear before the court. But the
four did not show up and as a result the court issued an arrest warrant
for Peng and his group. On the wanted list of the Burmese
junta, Peng and his troops, as of Tuesday, moved out of Lao Kai to the
north, having lost control over Kokang』s capital. On Tuesday, sources said government troops reorganized the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army and installed Bai Xuoqian as their leader. But
Aung Kyaw Zaw said, 「Most of the Kokang troops have joined Peng and
only a few remain with Bai in Lao Kai. Bai does not really have an army
with him.」 Once members of the powerful Burma Communist Party
(BCP), MNDAA, or the Kokang Army, broke away from the BCP in 1989 and
signed a ceasefire agreement with the ruling junta the same year. The
ethnic Chinese Kokang, following the ceasefire pact, enjoyed special
privileges and were allotted several business concessions. Mizzima』s
correspondent on the Sino-Burmese border added, 「Peng』s troops are now
literally breaking away from the ceasefire agreement and are hiding in
the jungles.」 Phoe Than Gyaung, spokesperson of the Burma
Communist Party, on Thursday said he is aware of the ongoing conflict
and tension in the Kokang area and feels sad that they have also fallen victim to the junta』s old and devious trick of divide and rule. 「It
is the junta』s tactic to always divide the groups. Though the Kokang
has broken away from us, we consider them our good friends and it is
sad that there is a conflict amidst them,」 Phoe Than Gyuang elaborated.
 But he hoped that the Burmese junta might not come down heavily
on the Kokang Army as they are busy with plans for the 2010 general
election and handling the internal political situation revolving around
the sentencing of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. Aung Naing Oo, a Thailand-based analyst, on Wednesday told Mizzima that the Kokang case is another classic example of the junta』s tactics in action, and other ceasefire groups including the United Wa State Army (UWSA) can start preparing for their turn. The
UWSA and Kokang Army both broke away from the BCP, once a powerful
group that posed a direct threat to the Rangoon government. But the
loss of the UWSA, Kokang Army and other groups drastically weakened the
BCP to where it is, today, almost non-functional with only a few
remaining members.

Laogai (<a href="http://www.shanland.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2695:kokang-capital-falls-not-shoot-first-policy-under-fire&catid=86:war&Itemid=284">S.H.A.N</a>),
the capital of Kokang, just 5 months after celebrating the 20th
anniversary of peace with the country』s military rulers, is under Burma
Army control since Monday night, 24 August, according to sources. 「I
haven』t seen any Kokang fighters all day,」 said one of the few
remaining residents told SHAN yesterday. 「Everywhere it』s the Burmese
the soldiers.」 <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_ktL92-y_KKY/SoPz7rjkT7I/AAAAAAAABgg/p-ArkQL40As/KokangLeader-PengJiasheng13Aug09.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 202px; height: 255px;" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_ktL92-y_KKY/SoPz7rjkT7I/AAAAAAAABgg/p-ArkQL40As/KokangLeader-PengJiasheng13Aug09.jpg" alt="" border="0"></a>Peng Jiasheng - Kokang supreme leader Another
source said he had gone past what was until yesterday the mansion of
Peng Jiasheng, the Kokang supreme leader and saw only Burmese policemen
both inside and outside the wall. Peng and three others, which
included his younger brother Jiafu and two sons, were said to have
escaped to the north with his troops. According to the latest
information, Peng and troops loyal to him are still holding positions
northeast of Laogai and at Qingsuihe (Chinshwehaw) aka Nampha on the
southern border with Wa. As the new base at Kunghsa is just 4km
from Laogai, the Burma Army could have mounted an attack if it chose
to. 「But they have yet to do it, probably because it is too
uncomfortably near the Chinese border,」 said a source from the border.
「The Burma Army has instead brought in other Kokang rivals of Peng to
deal with him. Apart from Bai Souqian (his former deputy), there are
now Kokang militias loyal to the Burma Army from Kunlong, Hopang and even his archenemy Yang Mouliang. If there is going to be any shooting, the Burma Army can now tell the Chinese it』s a fight among the Kokangs, the Burma Army has nothing to do with it.」 On
the other side of the border, China has set up a temporary holding
center for the refugees from Burma, according to the same source. 「They
are giving them a blanket and a mat each, besides food,」 he said. Meanwhile,
the United Wa State Army (UWSA) is reportedly holding an emergency
meeting with its Kokang ally this morning at Namteuk, south of
Qingshihe. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ktL92-y_KKY/SpTuZp3-XzI/AAAAAAAABkU/AN7w9KvDuL8/s1600-h/BaoAiRoong-2009.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 159px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ktL92-y_KKY/SpTuZp3-XzI/AAAAAAAABkU/AN7w9KvDuL8/s200/BaoAiRoong-2009.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374182379864612658" border="0"></a> Bao Ai Roong -UWSA』s 318th Division The two towns are
separated by the Namting and connected by a bridge over it. 「The fall
of Qingsuihe,」 admitted a Wa source, 「could greatly threaten the safety
of Namteuk and restrict our movements.」 Namteuk is the headquarters of the UWSA』s 318th Division, commanded by Bao Ai Roong, the Wa supreme leader』s nephew. The
fall of Laogai without a shot being fired has brought into question the
practicality of the 「Not Shooting First」 policy of the Peace and
Democracy Front (PDF), whose members include Kokang, Wa and Mongla. 「We
should also have spelled out what movements by the Burma Army would be
deemed as hostile acts,」 said a Shan ceasefire officer. 「Now, because
we have said that we won』t shoot first, the Burma Army is being allowed
to beef up its forces around us.」 The Kokang debacle could be repeated elsewhere, he warned, if the alliance continued to hold on the policy. Kokang,
since 1989, had been under the control of Peng Jiasheng. The Burmese
authorities, now that an arrest warrant for him has been issued, is
reportedly encouraging Peng』s rival groups to set up a new leadership.

(<a href="http://english.dvb.no/news.php?id=2811">DVB</a>)–South
Korean company Daewoo International is waiting for the go-ahead from
the Burmese government to invest nearly $US5.6 billion in Burma's gas
fields, with the produce destined for China. If
approved, the deal will see Daewoo supplying the China National
Petroleum Corp (CNPC) over the course of 30 years with around seven
percent of the country's current gas consumption, although this is
expected to grow rapidly. Burma has huge offshore natural gas reserves in the Bay of Bengal which already cater for much of Thailand's energy needs. Advocacy
groups have complained that the vast majority of Burma's natural energy
is being shipped out of the country, despite many of the major cities
suffering frequent blackouts. Daewoo will be leading a
consortium of companies, which includes India's Oil and Natural Gas
Corp and GAIL company, the Myanmar Oil & Gas Enterprise, and the
Korea Gas Corp. The project includes the construction of 2,800
kilometer oil and gas pipelines, known as the Shwe Gas Project, running
from Burma's western Arakan state to China's southwestern Yunnan
province. Until now China has relied on the congested Strait of
Malacca, between Singapore and Indonesia』s Sumatra peninsular, to
transport oil from the Middle East to its energy-hungry population.
According to Reuters, Burma will be able to tap the pipelines once they
are in operation. In June the Korean government rejected a
complaint from two environmental advocacy groups, EarthRights
International (ERI) and Shwe Gas Movement, that allegedly exposed human
rights abuses surrounding the project. China and Korea are two
of only a handful of countries that still invest substantially in
Burma, with China being its main trading partner and political ally. Burma
is subject to sanctions from a number of Western countries, including
the United States and European Union, although these do not block
investment in Burma's natural energy. The EU recently ratcheted
up its sanctions package on Burma, following the detention of
opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi earlier this month. The
United States is currently reviewing its policy towards Burma,
following comments from some senior officials, including Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton, that sanctions had failed. Reporting by Francis Wade

By ARKAR MOE <a href="http://www.irrawaddy.org/article.php?art_id=16633">The Irrawaddy News</a> Burmese
IT technicians and bloggers suspect a Burmese search engine contest was
designed by the Burmese military junta in order to increase its
internet restriction technology and ability to control websites and
blogs. The Myanmar Computer Professional
Association (MCPA) invited individuals and groups to compete for the
title of MCPA Challenge Winner 2009 in the Myanmar Engine Contest,
sources within the MCPA said last week. The research-based
contest is being held with the aim of 「encouraging the development of
the country』s information and communication technology (ICT), expanding
the use of the Myanmar (Burmese) language in the ICT sector and
enhancing the youth』s interest in the creation and ICT research,」
according to an MCPA statement. 「Building such a search engine
is like creating a small version of Google,」 said a Rangoon-based IT
expert speaking to The Irrawaddy. 「It would take at least six months to
create an engine that would be useful to governmental departments
searching through data. Such an engine could help Burmese authorities
find relevant information very quickly.」 Contestants must
register by Aug 30 and will be given six months to develop the engine
after they have submitted an initial application. The winner will be
announced in June 2010 and will be awarded US $3,000. Speaking
to The Irrawaddy on Monday, Rangoon-based activist Blogger Kamikaze
said: 「I am rather doubtful about this search engine contest. We need
to carefully consider whether to compete in this contest because the
military junta can use it to exploit IT technicians and control IT
technology. They already block blogs and Web sites like Yahoo and
Youtube, but most IT technicians and bloggers can overcome these
obstacles.」 The regime has been constructing a 「Silicon Valley」
called Yadanabon Cyber City near Maymyo in Mandalay Division, since
June 2006. According to state-run newspapers, the facility is intended
to serve as the sole nationwide internet service provider (ISP) in
Burma. Currently, Burma has three ISPs: the state-run Myanmar
Posts and Telecommunications (MPT), which operates Myanmar Info Tech;
the semi-government-owned Myanmar Teleport Company Ltd (formerly Bagan
Net); and Hanthawaddy National Gateway. In 2005 the Burmese
military junta became more sophisticated in censoring online material
after the introduction of a new firewall supplied by the US-based
company Fortinet. According to the Norway-based Pandia Search Engine News, the new search engine contest could have two purposes. One
could be to identify young Burmese with computer skills and prevent
them from developing technology that threatens the regime. 「We
know of activists that have managed to get around the walls of the
censors,」 Pandia said, 「The opposition often use proxy servers and
special software to get access to information. 「Another
could be to get the winners of the competition to serve the
regime by developing a search engine that can be used to block any kind
of unwanted information. 「It seems like the competition is open
for non-Burmese as well, which means that they could hope to enlist
politically naive computer experts in their fight against democracy.
There is only one possible conclusion in our mind: a total boycott of
this competition,」 Pandia said.

- With the arrival of over 60 army trucks carrying Burmese troops,
fresh tension has flared up between ethnic Kokang rebel groups and the
Burmese Army in northeastern Shan State with the ruling junta issuing
an arrest warrant for the Kokang leader Peng Jiasheng, sources said. Aung
Kyaw Zaw, a Sino-Burma border based military analyst, said the tension
between the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) also
known as Kokang Army and the Burmese troops had risen to a new level
and that there could be a fresh clash between the two anytime. 「The
tension is high and there are possibilities of a fresh conflict. But as
of now both sides seem to be restrained,」 Aung Kyaw Zaw said. The
tension, according to Aung Kyaw Zaw, began since the MNDAA like many
other ceasefire armed groups, rejected the junta』s proposal to
transform its army into a 『Border Guard Force』, an army to be
maintained and managed by the ruling junta. However, the Burmese
Army wants to avoid a confrontation with the Kokang Army and is using
various tactics to win the group to their side by infiltrating into the
groups』 leadership and breaking their unity, Aung Kyaw Zaw said. 「The
junta wants to break the Kokang like they did with other armed rebel
groups. So, they are dealing with a few Kokang officers, who are
interested to join them. And the Burmese Army has named these people
new leaders of the Kokang group,」 he said. The fresh tension was
in evidence on Monday, when the Burmese Army ordered the Kokang Army to
move out of the Kokang Special Region saying they are to take up the
security in the region. The Kokang Army, apparently, refused and geared
up for a confrontation. Aung Kyaw Zaw said the Burmese Army is
creating tension between the Kokang leadership, which seems to be
divided between the Kokang Supreme Commander Peng Jiasheng and his
Deputy Commander Bai Souqian. Bai, reportedly has wooed about
100 soldiers to his side but they do not seem to post any kind of
threat to Peng, who enjoys the support of the majority of the army, he
added. Peng Jiasheng, also known as Phone Kyar Shin, escaped
arrest at least three times including during the August 23 incident,
where he was rounded up by about 100 troops at his home in Lao Kai. 「The
Burmese Army does not want to negotiate with Peng Jiasheng but they
want to use some of the Kokang officers who are willing to oblige it.
So, they have issued an arrest warrant for the Kokang leader,」 Aung
Kyaw Zaw said. On August 22, police in Northern Shan State』s
capital Lashio served summons for Peng, his younger brother Jiafu and
his two sons to appear in court. But the four, did not show up. 「How
can they go, it is an arrest order. It would be difficult for the
Burmese Army to arrest Peng Jiasheng,」 Aung Kyaw Zaw said. Analysts said the Burmese junta is deeply disappointed with the rejection by several ceasefire ethnic armed groups over their proposal to transform their armies into a border guard force. The
junta has been persuading the ceasefire groups to transform their
armies into the BGF, which will be under the junta』s administration, as
their new constitution, does not allow any other armed forces apart
from the main 『Tatmadaw』. Several armed groups including the
MNDAA, Kachin Independence Organization (KIO) and United Wa State Army
(UWSA) have rejected the junta』s proposal. But Aung Kyaw Zaw said the
junta is currently targeting the MNDAA, as the group is the weakest
among the armed groups. 「Approximately the MNDAA has about 1,500
troops and the junta thinks that they can threaten them and forcibly
persuade them to transform. And besides, the junta already has several
army battalions stationed in the Kokang region,」 he added. After
the MNDAA rejected the junta』s proposal, the junta has brought in more
troops under the pretext of a drug eradication programme and had so far
deployed over seven more battalions. 「I think there are about
3,000 Burmese Army troops based in the Kokang area now,」 Aung Kyaw Zaw,
who maintains a close relationship with armed rebel groups along the
Sino-Burmese border said. Since the problems are not directly
with the Burmese Army but more of an internal disagreement, Kokang』s
allies including the United Wa State Army (UWSA) are unable to assist. In
a statement released on August 21, the Myanmar Peace and Democratic
Front, an alliance of four ceasefire groups – MNDAA, UWSA, Kachin
Independence Organisation (KIO) and the National Democratic Alliace
Army (NDAA) also known as Mailai – condemned the Burmese Army for their
interference in the problems of the Kokang Army. The group said,
the Burmese Army』s activities were being conducted under the pretext of
drug eradication and expressed their full support to the Kokang Army. Meanwhile,
the fresh tension between the Burmese Army and the Kokang Army has
forced several hundred villagers to flee to neighboring China, causing
concern to the Chinese authorities. Reports said, at least 10, 000 villagers have fled to the Chinese border. A
report by the Thailand-based, Shan Herald Agency for News (SHAN), said
over 700 soldiers of China』s People』s Liberation Army had been deployed
along the Sino-BurmA border in anticipation of any hostilities that
might break out between the Kokang and the Burmese Army.

(<a href="http://english.dvb.no/news.php?id=2809">DVB</a>)–Burma's
armed ethnic groups will increase cooperation with ceasefire groups in
an effort to strengthen resistance against government army forces,
following a meeting of eight opposition groups. The
alliance of ethnic armed groups, the National Democratic Front (NDF),
concluded its Central Executive Committee』s three-day meeting on Sunday. The
eight-strong coalition, which includes the Karen National Union (KNU)
and New Mon State Party (NMSP), two of Burma's principle armed
opposition groups, discussed the ongoing issue of government pressure
to transform ceasefire groups into border patrol forces. A
number of the ceasefire groups, including the NMSP, have resisted the
pressure to return to what the ruling State Peace and Development
Council (SPDC) calls the 'legal fold', which would give them legitimacy
as groups but significantly weaken their manpower and influence. 「We
wholeheartedly support the decision of our brothers, the ceasefire
groups, not to agree with the SPDC』s plan to transform them into border
militias,」 said Mai Phone Kyaw, general secretary of the NDF. A
statement released by the NDF said that ethnic groups "have a right to
operate in their own regions to protect their own people". Mai
Phone Kyaw said the junta is attempting to distract from growing
international pressure on it by stepping up confrontation against
opposition groups. The government's latest offensive against the
KNU, which began in June, has resulted in nearly 5000 Karen fleeing
across the border into Thailand. The conflict between the
Burmese government and the KNU, which has stretched over 60 years, is
thought to be one of the world's longest running. 「We discussed in our meeting how to step up our resistance and to prepare for a combat,」 Mai Phone Kyaw said. 「We
will continue our resistance against the SPDC junta by any means
possible until we are granted our rights as the ethnic people of Burma.」 Reporting by Aye Nai

这次奈比都向彭家声和鲍有祥发难，是有与北京照会的，虽然是不敬了一点，也就是说撒尿溅湿了北京的鞋。但是，对北京来说奈比都是一个比彭家声和鲍有祥都要大的客户。也就是说，这次事件，是北京的大客户吞并云南省或者是解放军党部的小客户。北京没可能将就自己的地方和支部，来惩罚自己的大客户的。 奈比都政权内部，有很多华人。缅族地区的华人，多是闽，粤，客三族群的南方汉族。而掸邦华人，要不是国民党和知青，就是云-川族群。文化上依附云南的佤，景颇等族，也能算是「中华文化系」的民族。 文革时代，很多佤族还是猎头土著。知青和缅共共同把佤族势力变成毛政府的输出革命客户。 但是，除了鲍有祥的共产佤族，还有魏学刚所属的，曾经与国民党-掸族昆沙所部出入泰国的南佤族。 所以，现在的佤邦，称为「联合佤军」，是因为它是共产军和南佤军的联合。 但是，鲍有祥和魏学刚并不团结。两个家族各自为政。 金三角军阀，由于走私毒品，国际名声很臭，所以为了生存，就以周边政权的政治美学来伪装自己。近泰国的克伦，昆沙，南掸等族群，军营俨然泰国-美国军事产品的消费地。他们和素季的民主派步骤也十分协调。素季派的海外网站，经常报道克伦，而不报道果敢。 投靠奈比都的军阀，换上中央军军服，看不出区别。 北掸的云南边境族群，不但所有经济来自云南，而且行政结构俨然云南的某个县。网站全用汉字。教育百分之五十是华文（他们民族的识字率可能就是百分之五十）。教师都是中国来的待业教师。他们军队里有中国共党派的指导员。军队领导人中很多文革知青。军服还是共产时代的毛派军服发展而来的，和南掸的美式军服差了半个世纪。 这其实是一种伪装。云南人一定对边界那边的「新云南」同情感很大。但是这些已经成为「历史遗留」的历史共产派系，和北京的关系却不大。和这些佤，汉军阀进行行政，警务，经济合作的中国官员，多是云南省地方官员。我想北京是很注重等级间的搭配的。仰光中国大使馆官员参观佤邦，应该是不多的事。 八八果敢事件的开始，经该是榜康发生的一场火灾。 榜康是北佤鲍有祥的根据地。南佤魏学刚在此地是有一定经济利益的。魏学刚不但领南佤军，而且是奈比都的一个大客户，也是缅甸数一数二的大资本家（缅甸大资本家都受西方贸易禁运之苦）。奈比都应该是很信任魏学刚。所以在明年大选前进一步招安边境军阀的计划中，魏学刚，还有果敢白所成等人成为奈比都的宠儿。 魏学刚心领神会，就把同一军服的南佤军开到北佤，去参加二十年招安纪念。这是很令鲍有祥警惕的事情。 所以一场火灾神秘地在榜康发生，烧了属于魏学刚的榜康最大的加油站，和旁边的一个柚木仓库。少了好几亿，很心疼的。 我认为这是鲍或其盟友对亲奈比都的魏学刚的一个棒喝。 跟着奈比都军代表就参加了鲍有祥和林明贤组织的假惺惺的二十年招安庆祝阅兵。 鲍有祥是很强的。如果奈比都要向北掸军阀开刀削藩，必须先向最弱的果敢彭家声开刀。恰巧彭家声是个不乖巧的人。 所以就在八八，也就是素季派被军政府镇压二十一周年那天，奈比都军队首先给彭家声下马威。然后白所成接到了信号，在果敢内应。然后奈比都军队在八八的二十天后，一举攻取果敢首府老街。 伤亡不多。终于彭的一千兵没怎么抵抗。他们知道，这应该不是什么生死决战。 现在彭家声，可能躲在鲍的佤部里面了。下一步就是：奈比都政府勒令鲍有祥交出彭家声。彭家声逃入中国。奈比都向鲍有祥开刀，勒令林明贤无条件接受招安。也就是说，北京的难民问题，在届时，将更加头疼。 如果北京要避免奈比都和北佤直接交锋，必须提出强硬条件使奈比都放弃动武。如果谁不听北京，北京就打谁。 但是，奈比都是比鲍有祥更大的一个北京的客户。所以在谈判中，奈比都有优势。北京可能会迫使鲍有祥接受很多不公平的条件。 在被招安的北掸中，法理上特区继续自治。但是彭家声会换成白所成，鲍有祥利益可能要向魏学刚割让。白所成和魏学刚是奈比都的客户。届时，这两人会同时占据仰光和云南的直接贸易利益，使中缅贸易更加畅顺。这使中缅贸易从北掸和云南的「边境贸易」，转变为仰光和云南的国际贸易。同时，仰光的缅甸资本家，因为中缅贸易性质的改变，会进入一个腾飞阶段，拉动仰光等上下缅地区的经济高速发展。 上下缅地区的经济高速发展，将是奈比都军政府在明年民主化大秀中，脸上能够炫耀的金箔，也是它避免被素季派颠覆的资本。 所以，这一切，北京都是心照不宣的。

果敢同盟军司令彭家富：不能接受整编不敢投降 
　8月30日中午12点半，缅甸掸邦第一特区（果敢）同盟军司令彭家富透过《凤凰周刊》向外界独家传递声音，详解果敢战事的缘由，以及果敢同盟军的立场。 
 
　　军方苛刻整编要求无法接受 
　　彭家富是果敢特区主席彭家声的弟弟，果敢军方最高领导者。缴给中方，缴给中国政府。最起码中国这个泱泱大国，她是采取人道主义的，我们战士的生命是能
够得到保障的。局势稳定以后，根据他自己选择去从，生命还能得到保证。我考虑到这个，把武器弹药缴给中国，就把部队撤向中国了。以后根据情况，有条件了东
山再起，没有条件，最起码我们战士生命得到保证。如果你去投降，那是「九死一生」，根本没有希望。」彭家富说。　　彭家富最后介绍，果敢首府老街现在陷入
混乱，「缅军到处洗劫一空，见华人就要杀了。它表面上好像跟中国友好，实际上它对中国是相当仇恨的。」
　　「下一步恐怕紧邻着就是佤邦和四特区了，它把果敢稳定了，紧接着就来了。这个中缅边界的战火是不会停的。它的阴谋要揭露出来。」（《凤凰周刊》独家专

　　此次果敢战事，最早始于8月8日，故称「八八事件」。彭家富告诉《凤凰周刊》，事件的起因是缅甸「军政府提出苛刻的，谁也不能接受的条件，来整编我们果敢同盟军部队，还有其他的和平组织的部队。」 
　　「条件太苛刻，不但我们果敢不能接受，其他一家也不接受。因为这是历史形成的格局，一朝一夕你能改变它，谈何容易？我们不接受它整编的条件。它就在政治上施压，经济上封锁，军事上打压。是这样引起的。」彭家富说。

　　彭家富称，缅甸军政府挑起战争，是以查禁毒品为借口。彭家富这是在挑拨离间： 
　　「找我们的借口是，我们有一个武器修械厂，因为多年来我们的陈枪烂炮，需要修理。这个修械厂它是早就知道了。「大嘎萨姆」（注：缅军政府驻果敢代表）
早就知道，军情处也知道。他们去看过。现在它说有（修械厂）毒品，是个毒品厂。要抓毒贩。原先我们是不让它进去，因为说是毒品，就不得不让它进去。但是它
进去看到的是武器。它就说，这个是你们私藏武器，它说是我们彭家私人的，跟（特区政府）组织上没有关系。在我们组织内部挑拨离间。说，这是我们彭家的私人
武器修械厂。以彭老倌（彭家声）为首的，我等私人的，和其他领导人没有责任，它就在我们组织内部分化。它这个用心已经相当久了。缴给中方，缴给中国政府。
最起码中国这个泱泱大国，她是采取人道主义的，我们战士的生命是能够得到保障的。局势稳定以后，根据他自己选择去从，生命还能得到保证。我考虑到这个，把
武器弹药缴给中国，就把部队撤向中国了。以后根据情况，有条件了东山再起，没有条件，最起码我们战士生命得到保证。如果你去投降，那是「九死一生」，根本
没有希望。」彭家富说。　　彭家富最后介绍，果敢首府老街现在陷入混乱，「缅军到处洗劫一空，见华人就要杀了。它表面上好像跟中国友好，实际上它对中国是
相当仇恨的。」

　　此时，果敢同盟军的一些成员投靠了缅甸政府军。彭家富称他们为「叛徒」，并提到了他们的名字：白所成，刘国玺，张德文，明学昌，魏超仁。 
　　「其实这伙是一个兵也没有，最多就几个通信员，白所成四五十个兵，明学昌掌握一些民兵。大概有一半也跑回来了，那些都是受蒙蔽的。」彭家富说。 
　　根据彭家富的叙述，缅甸政府军显然希望孤立果敢，然后各个击破消灭四大特区。 
　　「它（缅甸政府军）还说，这个是你们（第一特区）内部组织的事情，与你们佤邦没有关系，与四特区也没有关系。它在（各）组织之间进行挑拨。而实际上是
因为我们不接受它的「整编计划」，恼羞成怒。它要各个击破，一个一个消灭我们。它也就是说把我们果敢搞掉以后，紧接着就搞佤邦和四特区。它的计划是这样
的。」

　　彭家富很担心下属军人的安全。 
　　「因为我们内部有叛徒，我们战斗虽然打得很艰苦，大家信心还是很足，由于内部有叛徒，大家，战士们都有手机，它策反，会使我们的军心产生动摇。这样子呢，我就考虑，我们这些士兵，如果去投降政府，那就是「黑勐龙事件」的重演。「 
　　2000年11月，缅甸国防军设下谈判计谋，在勐古城附近的「黑勐龙镇」，将投降的李尼门部雇佣军全部枪杀。

"Burmese Water Festival", celebrated in a high school,San Francisco Bay
Area, California, U.S.A.A lot of people showed up to enjoy Burmese
traditionalfood and to socialize. Participants had to buy ticketsto
purchase food, drinks and snacks. I bought tickets, had a chance to
taste a little bit of everything from one vender to another. Food were
very delicious. Some Burmese food, I had no idea what they called it
but they were very tasty. The food venders donated all the money to the
monastery eventually.During the festival in San Francisco, We don't
dousewater the way you do in Burma because the weather is way too cold
to be wet. Besides, the Burmese community is not big enough to be
recognized yet. However, there were some kids including my nephews who
enjoyed dousing water each other until they got soaky wet.They were the
happiest participants among the rest, I suppose.(Sean Lin in USA)

<a href="http://francie.wordpress.com/2007/04/11/amazing-shwedagon-paya/" target="_blank">Shwedagon Paya (Wow!)</a> 
 
Today was pretty amazing despite the incredible heat (100 degrees).
Yangon is pretty wonderful for a big city, and as we had heard,
everyone is very friendly. We are often the only westerners walking
around town. 
<a href="http://francie.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/yangon.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://francie.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/yangon.jpg" alt="" border="0"></a> 
Today we changed money at the market–the money changers only take new,
crisp US dollars. They also will not accept certain serial numbers
because of a rumor that North Korea counterfeited the bills. Kind of
crazy. 
In the late afternoon we headed for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shwe_Dagon" target="_blank">Shwedagon Paya</a>–this
is THE site for Buddhism in the world. A temple built about 1500-2500
years ago, this site is founded around 8 hairs from Buddha』s head that
were brought back from India. 
<a href="http://francie.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/paya.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://francie.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/paya.jpg" alt="" border="0"></a> 
Of course, you must remove shoes and socks while at the site so everyone is hopping around on the balls of their feet. 
There are 4351 diamonds built into the structure (that』s 1800 carats
according to the lonely planet) with a 76 carat diamond at the top. At
night you can walk and stand in certain places and see the white, red
or blue hues of the diamond. 
<a href="http://francie.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/payadusk.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://francie.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/payadusk.jpg" alt="" border="0"></a> 
One hour later. 
<a href="http://francie.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/payanight.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://francie.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/payanight.jpg" alt="" border="0"></a> 
Here is a picture of monks walking around the site. I talked to one
monk for a while–he was one of 20 monks on a three week 』shift』 to
watch the temple at night (apparently, people are a little too zealous
to get in and pray at night or think they can steal the diamonds…). He
said it was a very boring job and was ready to go back to his temple. 
<a href="http://francie.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/monkswalking.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://francie.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/monkswalking.jpg" alt="" border="0"></a> 
Here is a monk that came up to talk with Francie. The monks are very interested in practicing their English. 
<a href="http://francie.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/franciemonk.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://francie.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/franciemonk.jpg" alt="" border="0"></a> 
In Burma, women can study Buddha by becoming nuns. There was a troop

partying) at dusk. They wear pink instead of red/orange.

Here is a Nat, or earth spirit, that had a shrine at the Paya. There
are times of the year when the Burmese call up or worship the nat–but
if you become possessed by the Nat you will need to be exorcised by a
buddhist monk. After reading 『Beloved』 I don』t recommend this at all.

Tomorrow begins the water festival which apparently turns the entire city into one big water spraying extravaganza.

 Kandawgyi Palace Hotel.
Royal Lake side, Yangon, Myanmar. 5 stars rated in facilities. Lovely
place to stay but charged too excessive in room rates (as card cards
are not acceptable due to US sanction, make sure you carry plenty of
green becks). It is located next to the Royak Lake and the lake garden.
The Ship Restaurant is just anchored next to the hotel. Here are some
of the hotel internal and external views. It is not far from the heart
of the city but very close to the Shwedagon and some of the hotel rooms
or even balconies can have an excellent viewds of the Pagoda. The only
complaint is, the room (I have changed twice) is smaller than comparing
Lake Inya Hotel (see below).

managed hotel. I chosen it because I am a Dusit card member as well as
previous good experience of its room facilities while in Chiangmai. It
never disappoints in this area - in fact, the room is so spacious that
it comes as a pleasnt surprise. It inherites a strong sense of
colonial-type of room design. If you can live with travel from 5 km
from the city but love to have a quiet environment, this hotel may
serve you well indeed.

We had an amazing night here in Yangon. We ventured out to a teashop
and ate at a Chinese night market with another American named Shea. 
Here is the tea and snacks we ate at the teashop.

Google 地图解释 
 
佤邦首都 Panghsang 正对的是云南省勐阿镇（属于孟连傣族拉祜族佤族自治县） 
 
第四特区首府孟拉正对的是穿越边境，通往中国云南勐海县城的，最近边境叫做「孟山下寨」，「曼永」，「南尖」，「景来」等镇的公路。 
 
 
缅军现在装甲镇开出的景栋，就是这条孟拉-勐海公路的起始。 
 
景栋有两条公路，一条通往孟拉-勐海，另一条通往孟养-户吉。 
 
这第二条路，就在佤邦榜桑和  孟拉之间。 
 
缅军的目的，是要在孟养和户吉的公路上陈兵，切断佤邦鲍有祥和孟拉林明贤间的互援。 
 
等军事部署完毕后，缅军可以以静势威逼中国和两个特区接受利于缅军的条件。中国由于利益的暧昧，可以就形势的实际性，反过来逼迫佤邦和林明贤就范，尽早向缅妥协，接受招安，成为缅在选举前的边境部队。 
 
缅军的目的，现在不是直捣佤窝榜桑或林窝孟拉，而是陈兵于其间，让鲍有祥冒「开头一枪」的大不讳。 
 
而鲍有祥的现策略，是赶在缅军之头，首先部属在孟养-户吉公路上，让缅军犯「开头一枪」的大不讳。 
 
念林明贤过往之乖巧，和多米诺牌倒的正常秩序，缅军下一个冒犯的目标，应该是鲍有祥，而不是林明贤。
