English Language Section

I. " To Eliminate Violence against Women"_ Editorial : Dr. San Oo Aung

              _ Burmese Military leaders do not understand that once they have taken over the power, legally or illegally, and rule the country, it is their duty to take care of all Burmese citizens whether they are inside the country or abroad...............

II. " Malaysia, Qatar & Burma" _ Letters to Editor: Mohd Noor Ibn Abdullah, Shwe Ba

            _  It is a shame that Malaysia and Qatar ignore the sufferings of all the Burmese People including the religious atrocities on their fellow Muslims and Christian citizens by the present military government. ..... time to change their mind-set now...........

III. " Shan Women and Children are still being Raped by SPDC " _ Feature Article: Feraya

            _ Whilst world attention has been on the Karen's plight since the first half of 2006, few people are aware that at the same time the regime's troops are conducting very similar offensives of systematic violence against women and children in Central Shan State. .. .............

IV. "International Day to End Violence against Women " _ Feature Article: Khin Ma Ma Myo

            _  In Burma, due to the state violence against women, societal favour to men domination and the traditional shame and fear of women to speak out, a lot of women have become the victims of the serious crimes of Violence against Women. .................

V.  "Freidman of Free Market Dies Yet Burma Awaits to Apply His Economics Policies "_ Commentary: Ko Sala

            _ His works revolutionised the conduct of central banks around the world. But to non-economists Mr Friedman's great achievement is not his challenge to Keynesian demand management but the popular writings that challenged a consensus favouring ever-greater state intervention in the economy. ............

VI. " A travel diary of Curt & Cathy" _ Travel Story: Curt & Cathy

            _ Dirty walls, shabby porters, but the brightest smiles on the earth greeted us as we went through customs. .... Vendors lined the rode selling copied CD's with faded black and white labels and cheap imported plastic trinkets.. ....there are no ATMs in Myanmar, you can't use a credit card or cash a travellers check so we have to bring our US $$'s down to the market where guys whisper their exchange rates.... .....

VII.  "To President Bush & Congress"_ Open Letter: Dr. David Law

            _ Burma is a country with an opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, loved by all, and where all people desire regime change but cannot achieve it because of their Bag of TRICKS.   .............

VIII.  "Speaking with Mai Ike Phone, part 3 " _ Interview: Nay Thwin (trsl. Nay Yu)

            _ we can't reach the common programme and common strategy exactly when we are working separately rather than working together.. .. .I would like to suggest that there should be clear programmes, projects and strategies after adoption of clear patterns and courses we want. Then, we need to perform along with the adopted strategy in unity. ............

IX. " You Could Not Die!" _ Poem: Mya Than Nyunt

            _ Where there is becoming, there is decomposing......Likewise, living comes with dying......All that you do in good spirit.....In longing, we will talk about you often.......Alas! How can one say that you die?

X.  "The Reality TV and awakening dreamer " _ Satire: JORDBUR

            _ He saw some familiar scenes on TV, a program in Western media about Burma, Burmese, Daw Aung San Su Kyi, miseries, remote border areas and ethnic minorities......Burma is still a country in crisis, lagged behind its neighbours, oppressed by own armed forces, lack of rule of law, exploited by some local and foreign business men...........

XI. " The abuse of Karen women under militarization" _ Special Report: KHRG

            _ The torture, murder and mutilation of women serve as exemplary punishment to threaten other villagers. Alternatively, these women may arbitrarily be taken into detention by soldiers who use them as hostages, demanding that their husbands 'surrender'.......Women taken for forced labour are also subject to increased likelihood of abuse. ...........
