Myanmar Regime Blames `Neo-Colonialists' for Violence (Update2)

By Bill Varner

Oct. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Myanmar's military junta blamed Western ``neo-colonialists'' for stoking the biggest anti- government protests in almost 20 years, as a United Nations envoy tried to hold talks today with the regime's leader.

Government troops last week ``exercised utmost restraint'' to subdue protesters who were ``abetted by some powerful countries,'' Foreign Minister Nyan Win said in a speech to the UN General Assembly in New York yesterday.

Democracy ``cannot be imposed from outside,'' he said. ``We are determined to proceed resolutely toward democracy along our chosen path.''

The minister's speech is the most detailed public comments made by the junta in Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, since soldiers opened fire on protesters in the former capital, Yangon, on Sept. 26. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has asked his envoy, Ibrahim Gambari, to press the regime to stop its crackdown and release political prisoners.

Gambari is scheduled to meet today with Senior General Than Shwe in the administrative capital, Naypyidaw, the UN said.

International condemnation of the regime has increased since soldiers clubbed and shot at protesters, raided monasteries and arrested Buddhist monks who led the demonstrations.

International Sanctions

The U.S. government banned visas for the nation's military leaders and froze their financial assets. The European Union is considering tightening sanctions on the regime and China, Myanmar's closest ally, has called on the junta to seek a peaceful resolution to the unrest.

``Elements within and outside'' Myanmar want to derail the government's steps toward democracy, Nyan Win said.

``They provide political, financial and other material support to create unrest,'' he said. ``Finally, under the pretext that a country is undemocratic, unstable and that it poses a threat to international peace and security, they intervene directly and invade the country.''

Ban spoke by telephone yesterday with Gambari and asked him to press the junta to ``move more credibly and inclusively in the direction of democratic reform, human rights and national reconciliation,'' the UN said in a statement.

Gambari met with detained opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi for an hour two days ago in Yangon. Suu Kyi, 62, has spent almost 12 years in detention since the junta rejected the results of parliamentary elections in 1990 won by her National League for Democracy.

Human Rights

The military has ruled the nation of 47 million people since 1962. The regime has a record of human rights violations, including summary executions, torture and the recruitment of child soldiers that the UN says are widespread and systematic.

Anti-junta protests began more than a month ago when the government doubled some fuel prices and intensified when Buddhist monks took to the streets.

About 4,000 monks have been detained in Yangon during the past week and will be moved to the far north of the country, the British Broadcasting Corp. reported yesterday, citing unidentified officials with a pro-junta militia.

At least 30 protesters have been killed and about 1,400 arrested, Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer told reporters in the southern city of Adelaide today. The junta put the death toll at 10.

President George W. Bush remains ``concerned about the reports of violence and intimidation that continue to come out of Burma,'' White House spokeswoman Dana Perino told reporters in Washington yesterday.

The U.S. has exhausted most of its options for applying sanctions and wants countries in the region such as China, India and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to step up their pressure, State Department spokesman Tom Casey said.

Oil, Gas

International companies in Myanmar must ensure ``their operations do not contribute to or benefit from human rights abuses'' there, New York-based Human Rights Watch said in an e- mailed statement today.

Investors in Myanmar's oil and gas industry include companies from Australia, China, France, India, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Russia, Human Rights Watch said.

``Outside investment in Burma's oil and gas industry has thrown a lifeline to the country's brutal rulers,'' said Arvind Ganesan, director of the group's business and human rights program, adding revenue from gas exports flows directly to the junta leaders.

Democracy ``cannot be imposed from outside,'' he said

Clear ignorance of the difference between "outside" and "inside."

Ko Htike,
Do not feel so upset. We believe in many returns relating Buddha. Buddha and following rulers of heaven will handle 9th victory over Than Shwe and devil gang. They all have booked for all worst returns for their 8000000000000000000000000000000000 infinity returns. We are just watching their show. The existing shows are shown by Ne Win, Saw Maung, Sein Lwin, Khin Nyunt and Soe Win. They will follow in very recent times. We should believe in our souls and belief. Human body and physical character is nothing important but soul and mind are the main important factors in real Buddhism.

Thanks for spreading news from Burma.
If you want to reach a still greater audience, please publish at

in the internet.

And you could discuss with
http://www.samizdata.net/blog/ about peaceful ways to democracy, but they believe there´s no chance. And sadly seem to be right as European history shows.

attacking: Yeah, that's what I was talking about yesterday. They are neither afraid of the UN nor the US simply because they know that those two won't attack them in the current situation. But aren't they religious at all, aren't they afraid because of the evils they've committed? In a country where Buddhism was made into official religion by themselves...

In other countries the military juntas have been removed by special tactics... (except castro, he had the muscle from Russia) and the UN and US have got those forces.

Looking into the junta's crystal ball, I am sure the junta decided to move the capital into the jungle for protection, when actually is the perfect and ideal place for removal as there is only government there... they have dug their own graves...

hello...i really think that people should already go underground...but then again, im not a guerilla warfare expert so you don't have to rally take such a prescription...anyway, i'm from the philippines and our own intelligentsia are watching...i ask of you burmese people to learn from our struggle during the reign of marcos (still the most corrupt and most brutal regime ever existed)...the marcos-headed oligarchs' control lasted for more than 20 years...that also means more than 20 years of struggle from differen sectors of the civil society...and boy, were there a lot of events that took place...

learn from our history! our people seems to have forgotten our revolutionary tradition...if ever they would see it through the burmese, my countrymen's hearts might be stricken with hope...you know, what's going on in here is close to what you are experiencing...more than 800 filipino activists/journalists are missing or killed...a defacto martial law targeting dissenters had been set up by the arroyo government...but everyone seems to have been exhausted...we need you to learn from us so that we can learn from you...

good luck!

Hi, ko. My friends and I in Indonesia are symphatized to what happen in Burma nowadays. We also feel ashamed of our government that has do nothing for junta in Burma. Right now, many people here are struggling to force the gov to call out international concern of Burma.

We believe that democration, sooner or later, will be able to held. Just like our struggle ten years ago to bring down the corrupt regime. May God be with you all.

Thank you for informing us out here. I was stunned to hear about what's happening in Myanmar. My heartfelt chants that the bodhisattvas triumph over this evil, illegitimate regime.
