Invitation to protest against junta’s planned sham 2010 election

Burma Democratic Concern (bdc) | 25.11.2009 19:06 | Globalisation | Other Press | Sheffield | World

“If this country is to achieve genuine democracy, the result of the elections of 1990 must be recognized. This is something we cannot abandon. It will be to the detriment of our country if after an election has been held the results are not honoured and we do not resist attempts to trivialise it.” Aung San Suu Kyi.

Invitation to protest against junta’s planned sham 2010 election

Dear All,

Ruling junta of Burma is planning to go ahead unilaterally its planned sham election in 2010. Even though, Aung San Suu Kyi and her party the National League for Democracy (NLD), the unanimous victors of the 1990 election, clearly stated their position in “Shwe-Gone-Daing” declaration that need to place in order to have true national reconciliation in Burma-
i.e.to
1. Release all the political prisoners
2. Review 2008 Constitution
3. Allow to reopen NLD and ethnic nationalities offices
4. Recognize 1990 election result
5. Take place political dialogue

“If this country is to achieve genuine democracy, the result of the elections of 1990 must be recognized. This is something we cannot abandon. It will be to the detriment of our country if after an election has been held the results are not honoured and we do not resist attempts to trivialise it.” Aung San Suu Kyi.
Burmese Democratic forces and ethnics organizations inside and outside Burma are saying decisively “NO” to junta’s planned 2010 election.

“A central issue is the results of the 1990 election in which NLD won landslide victory. We can’t throw away the results like a piece of paper or a leaf.” U Win Tin.
This is our duty to show our support for people of Burma in implementing “Shwe-Gone-Daing” Declaration and to show our solidarity with people of Burma fighting against junta’s planned sham 2010 election.

Every election serves the interest of the elite.

If Aung San Suu Kyi was to win, life would still be shite in Burma. Western powers would be happy though....

easy mistake to make


Why?

"If Aung San Suu Kyi was to win, life would still be shite in Burma. Western powers would be happy though.... "

Why is this the case? What reasons do you have for believing that Aung San Suu Kyi would be no better than the military junta?

And what would you propose instead?
