Hi ko htike, I am surprised to see shotgun logo on the ABSDF statement. I thought students and monks advocated peaceful resistance, not violence. Having the shotgun on ABSDF logo sends out a different message to the world. I think this may negatively compromise the image of the students in the eyes of the outside world, if it can be perceived that the students want to fight back with guns. Free Burma! Ken, Ireland.
I was encouraged last night to see that Fergal Keane of the BBC has been undercover in Burma for a news report aired on the BBC 1 news.
Fergal was one of the first journalists to report on the genocide in Rwanda. He is very well respected by his peers and organisations like Amnesty. I hope his involvement and reporting will keep the issues in Burma raised with the public and the governments.

That's not a shotgun. It's a stylized peacock symbol.
Thank you for clearing that up, Tsu Dho Nimh. And please excuse my ignorance!
Me and other 15 italian bloggers have written a "united post" made of our thougts and emotions about What happens in Burma.
If you like you can come in my blog and publish in yours our idea.
All comments are in italian but if you want you could post them also in english.
We did that post for making you feel italian people near you and your people living in Burma
Thanks for this blog and for the news you put inside
Go on and don't give up.

Hello Ko Htike.
I was encouraged last night to see that Fergal Keane of the BBC has been undercover in Burma for a news report aired on the BBC 1 news.
Fergal was one of the first journalists to report on the genocide in Rwanda. He is very well respected by his peers and organisations like Amnesty. I hope his involvement and reporting will keep the issues in Burma raised with the public and the governments.
Love and peace.
