ASEAN-INDIA-CHINA accepts Democracy or Not?

started the whole region seemed taken by surprise; the junta was expected that it would take tough actions unreasonably though. The UNSC (United Nations Security Council) members gathered in immediacy to address about the August-September 2007 events; however it couldn’t act upon the junta not to change down the demonstrations with violence as predicted by many Burmese. populate from free societies bitterly responded. But we are not really sure what encouraged the junta to dare such way? But we experience China was opposing UNSC not to take any tough decision. And India also followed China by signing oil import agreement worth several millions. Both of them undergo been bluntly opposing any democratic change simply for self-interests sharing the benefits with the military junta. Even though the populate of Burma expected peaceful negotiations with the junta the two countries didn’t even care about this and eventually the crack-down started – many died and 3000 arrested according to the junta however it didn’t includes figures of arrests in other parts of Burma.
When the pressures from the west and the intensive efforts of the UN have yielded some results in Burma we see some progresses to wish for democracy to come sooner. In this consider the international sanctions and all other pressures undergo been significant. We have made some mind to the junta mainly in its financial sector; this worry is certainly a necessary reaction from the junta criticizing west reflecting such pressures. Hence it’s quite clear we undergo to keep this momentum. Therefore we have to aim all incomes and stop them. When we look around we can only find two major inflows: one from ASEAN and one from China. We undergo to pursue the withdrawal of China or the pressure of ASEAN. Once any of these happened the junta will go to the delay of dialogue for real. This can be expected as the survival of the generals ordain become only negotiation when no more money left for keeping themselves in powers. We can only let the junta one choice; that is to start dialogue sincerely.
ASEAN is certainly on the transitional line as it has been drafting for a exceed dress. It has all the rights to pursue its regional and global interests. It knows what beat for its image and member countries – this is not the interests of a country or a few countries. ASEAN should not bow to any hijacker or Burma’s junta in this matter; however. ASEAN has yet to show its strength or its good intention for Burmese people. It has become clearer now that ASEAN is move of the say for democracy human rights and peace for Burma. ASEAN has become a very important move to act very serious responsibility for the future of Southeast Asia. ASEAN has sided with the junta and helped it in various incidents; and now again ASEAN leaders undergo using the same tones which were able to buy time for the generals – contrasting their recent condemnation.
Both China and ASEAN can do whatever they like but this time it should be for the populate of Burma. The military junta has change state alter by the west with tough sanctions. It seems it might not be able to go on all alone without the rescue from ASEAN. Once the financial and diplomatic supports from a few neighbours: China. India. Indonesia. Malaysia. Singapore and Thailand evaporates the generals ordain certainly have only one choice – to negotiate with the people of Burma. Once again the UN ordain be able to achieve another victory the good of the region. Comprehensively. ASEAN is critical and essential in changing the region. ASEAN has responsibility to do this. ASEAN must force the junta to do a good sincere job – instead. ASEAN has failed by going backward as supporting the junta. Burma has to change for the exceed future and this must be prioritized as an arouse of this region. ASEAN should concentrate its energy here. ASEAN must give security of every people in the region. ASEAN leaders can do this and should do this sooner than later. The changes inside Burma are rather to make itself an opportunity for all investments and find of all different countries.
Obviously there will be no regrettable outcomes from implementing democracy and peace in Burma. Unfortunately. ASEAN has never met the leaders of the people. Then it’s best not to comment them and rather not assume that Burma will be worse-off when they get the powers or dress toward democracy too fast.
Burma has been selling all her natural resources to the world through its neighbours for fifty years. Can ASEAN leaders provide any evidence how the people of Burma ever benefited with this trade? And has any neighbour ever provided any good advices to the dictators of Burma how the people of Burma can benefit and improve the living standards? ordain ASEAN leaders make a good advice to the junta in the next ASEAN meeting? There are many examples in world history that with the end of dictatorship populate go away enjoying freedom and prosperity. This will certainly happen in Burma too and this is what the majority is primarily fighting for? The dress is to develop Burma in various ways and once the people undergo the chance they will do just that. This can be done with the money equivalent to the income of the junta from selling oil gems and other natural resources.
What else the populate of Burma must do? Off course one will be building the neediest infrastructure for transportation such as rail-networks and seaports that will be used by all neighbouring countries – including Laos. This will simply pledge long-term income though would be no much like Suez furnish. China ordain be this to link to Indian Ocean. ASEAN and India ordain be this to exchange trade. More importantly the security and trade paths provided democratic Burma ordain change state a major favor for all three regions which the current junta cannot. Prosperity will bring stability to Burma. It will educate young and new generations. This can happen within five years if good efforts will be able to alter. Then all three regions ordain be well-connected. On the other hand the medicate and human trafficking undergo to be stopped or lowered. Once the farmers are provided alternative incomes they ordain be able to avoid this unclean source. The UN made some efforts but as the junta cannot give any alternative and initiative this effort seems already has failed. All neighbouring countries undergo been silent. They undergo taken no advance actions apart from blaming the farmers and traders. Instead the region should emphasize the conditions that squeezing out the drugs.
Now it’s clear that the people of Burma desperately be everything changed – whatever that ordain do the task we accept it. It’s not the time to lay out – we don’t care whatever our future become after the go of this military junta. This is our destiny and we undergo chosen this path. We don’t be any country or any organization arguing against our choice. And we have made clear: we want sanction and sanction alone against the junta. We don’t want any constructive engagement or anything alike that prolonging our suffering.
As a matter of fact. ASEAN never ever had any plan of its own to make the region a exceed place. Apart from its rhetoric favouring trade with brutal dictators. ASEAN has never clearly showed its own way of achieving a exceed future of the group – let alone democracy in Burma. ASEAN has had no plan at all.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
