နအဖစစ္အစိုးရက ျမန္မာတႏိုင္ငံလံုးရွိ သံဃာေတာ္မ်ား လက္ကိုင္ဖုန္းကိုင္ေဆာင္ျခင္း၊ ကြန္ပ်ဴတာႏွင့္ ပရင္တာစာကူးစက္မ်ား၊ ဆက္စပ္ပစၥည္းမ်ား သံုးျခင္း၊ ျပည္ပႏိုင္ငံမ်ားသို႔ သြားလာျခင္း၊ ေက်ာင္းတိုက္ျပင္ပသို႔ ထြက္ျခင္း စသည္တို႔ကို ကန္႔သတ္တားျမစ္မႈမ်ား လုပ္ေဆာင္ေတာ့မည္ျဖစ္ေၾကာင္း သံဃာ့မဟာနာယကအဖြဲ႔၀င္ ဆရာေတာ္တပါးက မိန္႔ၾကားသည္။

ယင္းဆရာေတာ္က “အစိုးရက သံဃာ့မဟာနာယကအဖြဲ႔မွတဆင့္ အဲဒီအမိန္႔ကို ထုတ္ျပန္မွာပါ။ သံဃာ့မဟာနာယကအဖြဲ႔က တာ၀န္ယူ ထုတ္ျပန္ရမွာျဖစ္တယ္” ဟု မိန္႔ၾကားသည္။

အဆိုပါအမိန္႔ မည္သည့္အတြက္ေၾကာင့္ ထုတ္ျပန္သည္ဆိုသည္နွင့္ ထုတ္ျပန္မည့္ေန႔ရက္ကို အတိအက်မသိေသာ္လည္း လာမည့္ေမလခန႔္တြင္ ထုတ္ျပန္ႏိုင္ေၾကာင္း အဆိုပါဆရာေတာ္က ခန္႔မွန္းသည္။

ရန္ကုန္ ကမာၻေအးသာသနာ့တကၠသိုလ္မွ ဆရာေတာ္တပါးက “ခု ဘုန္းႀကီးေတြ ေတာ္ေတာ္မ်ားမ်ားမွာ ဖုန္းကေတာ့ ပါၾကတယ္။ တရားေဟာ ဆရာေတာ္ ဓမၼကထိကေတြက ပိုၿပီးေတာ့ ဖုန္းကိုင္ၾကတယ္။ ဒီလိုမ်ဳိးဖုန္းေတြ မကိုင္ရေတာ့ဘူး ဆိုေတာ့ ဘာေၾကာင့္ဆိုတာ ဘုန္းႀကီးတို႔ ခန္႔မွန္းရခက္ပါတယ္” ဟု မိန္႔သည္။

ေျမာက္ဥကၠလာပၿမိဳ႕နယ္အတြင္းရွိ အမည္မေဖာ္လိုေသာ သံဃာေတာ္တပါးက ယင္းသို႔ အမိန္႔မ်ားထြက္လာပါက သံဃာမ်ားက လိုက္နာၾကမည္မထင္ဟု ခန္႔မွန္းသည္။

“၂၀၀၇ ကလိုမ်ဳိး သံဃာေတာ္ေတြ လႈပ္ရွားမႈ ျဖစ္မလာေစဖို႔ ႀကိဳတင္တားတာ ျဖစ္ႏိုင္ပါတယ္။ ဖုန္းအဆက္အသြယ္ေတြကို ျဖတ္ခ်င္တာ၊ စာ႐ိုက္တာေတြက်ေတာ့ တစံုတခု ေၾကညာခ်က္ေတြ မလုပ္ရေအာင္ ျဖစ္ႏိုင္ပါတယ္” ဟု ၎က ေျပာသည္။

ျမန္မာႏိုင္ငံတြင္ ၂၀၀၇ ခုႏွစ္က ျဖစ္ပြားခဲ့ေသာစက္တင္ဘာ ေရႊ၀ါေရာင္ေတာ္လွန္ေရးေနာက္ပိုင္းတြင္ စစ္အစိုးရက သံဃာေတာ္မ်ားအား ဖမ္းဆီးေထာင္ခ်ျခင္း၊ အတင္းအက်ပ္ လူ၀တ္လဲေစျခင္း၊ ေက်ာင္းတိုက္မ်ားအား ပိတ္ပစ္ျခင္း၊ ႏိုင္ငံျခား ခရီးသြားလာခြင့္ ကန္႔သတ္ျခင္းတို႔ကို အတင္းအက်ပ္လုပ္ေဆာင္ခဲ့သည္။

ရန္ကုန္ၿမိဳ႕ႏွင့္မႏၲေလးၿမိဳ႕တုိ႔တြင္ သံဃာေတာ္မ်ား သီတင္းသံုးရာ ေက်ာင္းတိုက္အခ်ဳိ႕အား စစ္အစိုးရက ရဲ၊ ေထာက္လွမ္းေရးႏွင့္ ႀကံ့ဖြံ႔မ်ားကို ကင္းပုန္းမ်ားခ်ထားကာ အခ်ိန္ျပည့္ ေစာင့္ၾကပ္ၾကည့္႐ႈေစသည္။

U WIN TIN

Because we refuse to bow to these unjust election 'laws,' our party will be abolished by the regime soon. Still, the NLD will not disappear. We will be among the people, with the people. We will continue to fight for democracy, human rights and equality among all ethnic nationalities, by peaceful means. —

From Stalin to Burma, a history lesson

They may wear different cloaks, but under the surface all dictators are similar. As the memory of dictators like Joseph Stalin fades, mistakes of the past repeat themselves with a vengeance in forgotten places like Burma.One writer said of Stalin: “He had found Russia working with wooden ploughs and left it equipped with atomic [stock]piles.” But perhaps the true question doesn’t regard Stalin’s undisputable impact on humanity, but whether the legacy justified all the human sacrifice. To Stalin, the millions killed as a consequence of his ambitious drive were simply stepping stones along the road to national prosperity. However, such a Machiavellian frame of mind can neither be justifiable nor ethical.Stalin utilized numerous harsh methods in attempting to meet his ‘utopian’ goals. Collective farms were prevalent, while each Five Year Plan sought to leapfrog Russia ahead of competing nations and systems. Toward this end, virtually every industry fell under the direct control of the government and its de facto and shackled workforce. And the sad truth, more often than not, was results never met by an increasingly impoverished population.Stalin’s principle instrument for maintaining control over his country was his secret police. Through this institution, fear was instilled in the hearts of the people. The final death toll from Stalin’s regime is indeed staggering, with estimates ranging from 10 to 20 million people having perished.Stalin was under the belief that all his actions, extreme or otherwise, were necessary in order to pull Russia into the industrial age. Yet, ultimately, the major flaw in Stalin’s reasoning was that he claimed all sacrifices were necessary and for the future of Russia. “Life has improved, comrades. Life has become more joyous,” he once remarked. And while he was thinking about the future of the country and the generations to come, the standard of living within Russia had plummeted.Today, forgetting that dictatorship is a self inflicted wound, some intellectuals and humanitarians reason that simply sending more aid and increasing engagement are starting points to improving the political situation in Burma. But when they begin to regard the active opposition, as symbolized by Aung San Suu Kyi, as increasingly irrelevant, the time has come to refresh their memory about Joseph Stalin and the enormous price of dictatorship. It is one thing to want to bring Burma into the international community, but it is another to coddle and nurture tyrants without speaking out against their inhumane acts.So far, newly elected U.S. President Barack Obama and Foreign Secretary Hillary Clinton have taken a cautious and slow approach toward Burma. But in a world of competing interests and ideology, it will be a great tragedy if they fail to take a firm stand against the dictators in Burma.After all, the United States and its allies helped reform the militaries in Indonesia and Turkey within democratic transitions and transformations. Now, the U.S., United Nations, ASEAN and the European Union need decisive and effective leadership to help Burma. Obama and Clinton have a great chance to seize this mantle…if they are willing to seriously take on the leadership role.Today, even as Burma’s generals tragically act more and more like Stalin, could it not be that the army as an institution in Burma was originally inspired by similar beliefs to those of countries such as Indonesia and Turkey? This should offer an important clue as to where to begin with Burma.
