Twin Crusade - Burma January 2000 We go in search of the baby faced and battle hardened child generals of the Karen guerrillas. Twins Luther and Johnny Htoo stand amidst their child fighters and make faces at the camera. Luther's eyes roll as he sucks on a fat cigarette, Johnny smiles and pokes out his tongue. Last month's hostage crisis in the Thai hospital at Ratchaburi brought the world's attention to the God's Army. These twelve-year-old twins hit the headlines as the masterminds behind this and an earlier hostage incident at the Burmese Embassy. New pictures and footage of the boys provides an eerie glimpse into their crusade. For their dedicated followers they are divinely inspired leaders with the protection of an invisible horde of Karen warriors. "When they were born the sound of crowds was heard... when people went to look there were no footprints," reports Sister Roberts, an American nun who has counselled and watched the boys for the last 3 years. The twins lead with the Bible, reciting their favourite passages as an ideological platform. When in battle they talk like adults and are deeply respected. But just how long can their rag-tag band of 200 youths survive the combined roth of the Thai and Burmese military? We reveal that the twins may have escaped a recent Burmese army assault although their current whereabouts is unknown.

Free Burma! a tribute to the courage of the people in Burma fighting for freedom and democracy, as well as to the people around the world who have rallied to their cause music by Stevie Wonder, "Free" "China's unilateral foreign policy on Burma has completely paralyzed the United Nations Security Council, and as a result the Council has been unable to act, just as it acted far too late in Rwanda and Darfur. China's unilateralism is undermining responsible conflict resolution and the Secretary General himself," said Aung Din, policy director of US Campaign for Burma. For 15 years human rights advocates have hoped that by 'speaking softly' China would be convinced to play a constructive role in national reconciliation in Burma, as called for by consecutive UN General Assembly resolutions. Specifically the UN is calling for "trip-partite" talks in Burma between the military regime, Aung San Suu Kyi's political party the National League for Democracy, and the country's ethnic minorities. However, China has not responded to entreaties, instead stating simply that Burma is an "internal affair". Human rights advocates believe that China is in a unique position, possessing the leverage to bring Burma's military regime to the dialogue table. China is the Burmese military regime's single most important ally, supplying billions in weapons, aid, and trade, while shielding the regime from international action by the UN Security Council. In January 2007 China vetoed a peaceful UN Security Council resolution that would have empowered the UN Secretary General in his negotiations with the Burmese military regime. Without China's backing, the Security Counci has remained paralyzed. China's position on Burma is coming into greater focus as the 2008 Olympics will be launched on August 8th, the anniversary of the military crackdown in Burma that resulted in the death up to 10,000 demonstrators in 1988. Campaigners are planning a year-long effort to expose how "China is responsible for keeping Burma's military regime in power," added Aung Din. China also appears to be undermining its own neighbors on Burma. Over the past 3 years, Filippino Foreign Ministers Alberto Romulo, Malaysian foreign minister Syed Hamid, and Indonesian former foreign minister Ali Alatas have all traveled to Burma to seek the release of Aung San Suu Kyi, the world's only imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize recipient. China declined to back any of the missions, while providing diplomatic, financial, and military aid to the regime. Burma is ruled by one of the world's most brutal military regimes, which has destroyed 3,000 villages in the eastern section of the country, forcing over 1.5 million people to flee their homes. The Associated Press has compared the military regime's attacks on civilians in eastern Burma to the tactics of the Sudanese government in Darfur, labeling eastern Burma "Southeast Asia's Darfur". The regime has also recruited 70,000 child soldiers, far more than any other country in the world. Many campaigners believe Burma is the most serious crisis in the world that has never been addressed by the Security Council.

Burma Cyclone Pastors Timothy and Rebecca Laklem, the founders and directors of Asian Tribal Ministries, have been working in the war-zone areas of Burma along the Thai border for 30 years preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as well as providing humanitarian relief such as food, medical supplies, clothing, and hope to the hurting and often displaced peoples of Burma. A few months ago, Pastor Timothy had requested from the Burmese authorities permission to build schools and visiting families and children in the south of Burma (where the disaster has hit) and ATM also had plans to have the first Christmas Outreach there at the end of the year to many children who have never received a Christmas gift. In response to the recent cyclone Nargis and the destructive stamp it left upon the Irrawaddy Delta region of Burma, Asian Tribal Ministries will be sending in relief teams to assist with medical needs, food distribution, water purification, and hope. Asian Tribal Ministries has been given permission by the authorities of Burma, as one of the very few overseas Christian organizations given permission, to bring relief into the disaster zone. The death toll has already reached 100,000 and increasing due to aid being slow in reaching the people. Over one million people are homeless, with no food, no drinking water, and prevalent diseases. In the next few months, monsoon season will be upon the region and will make the situation even more chaotic. Your help is needed. For more information on how you can get involved to help in this crucial time, contact Pastors Timothy and Rebecca Laklem at the following email address: timothyrebecca@gmail.com Tags: Burma Cyclone Thai Border Nargis |

Burma Diaspora (Trailer) Pi Vat and Ledoh meet over a game of pool-billard in a bar in Thailand at the Burmese border and discover things in common: their escape abroad from the Burmese military dictatorship, because they are ethnic Karen. The Burmese army wages war against the Karen. Their culture, their language and ulimatively themselves are exposed to systematic eradication -- to the effect of 56 years of civil war and hundred-thousands of Karen refugees. Pi Vat loses the game against Ledoh and has to promise to guide him into the land of the Talarku Karen, who worship a living man-god in the jungle. Pi Vat is one of the most popular nature field guides in Thailand and Ledoh due to explore the isolated enclave of the Talarku Karen as an inspiration for his dance theatre back in San Francisco. Their venture will lead them illegally across the green border to Burma, through thick jungle into a Shangri-La of vivid traditions. An odd cry for help addressed at the expert Pi Vat intervenes. A herd of wild elephants sabotages the extension of a zinc-mine run by the Karen National Liberation Army KNLA. The revenue of the mine is desperately needed to feed ten-thousands of displaced Karen refugees hiding in the jungle from the Burmese troops. The most obvious solution holds plenty of dynamite: the Karen consider elephants not just as big animals, but powerful omens, mythological symbols, ancestors, tractors, means of transportation, endless source of organic fertilizer, gladiators, rowdies, re-incarnations of divine spirits and evil demons. To kill them would break every taboo. The insoluble assignment leads Pi Vat and Ledoh directly into the heart of the war zone. Tags: Burma Myanmar Karen Ledoh Anavaj |
