Students mark World Anti-Drugs Day with 200 posters in Myitkyina

June 26, 2009

Students marked the World Anti-Drugs Day of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) under the United Nations today with 200 hand-written posters in Myitkyina, the capital of Burma's northern Kachin State.  They demanded that the military junta make Kachin State a drug free state, student activists said.

Burma is the world's second largest opium producing country, according to the UNODC.

A-4 size papers pasted by the students carried two slogans --- "Drug free zone" and "No elections 2010", said Shadang Tu Awng, who organized this morning’s movement.

Shadang Tu Awng said, the posters were pasted on roadside electric poles, walls in seven main quarters in Myitkyina--- Yuzana, May Myint, Shatapru, Myothit, Ayeyar, Tatkone (Dapkawng in Kachin) and Du Kahtawng (or Du Mare) including State High Schools in these quarters.

The posters were also put up on the walls in front of the Government Education College and Office of the Township Director of Education, added Tu Awng.

The idea of pasting posters was to highlight the students demand to the ruling junta to make Kachin State a drug free state, another student activist Shadang Naw Naw said.

Several Myitkyina University students took part in this morning’s poster movement in the town. It was organized by the All Kachin Students' Union (AKSU), an underground student organization based in Kachin State, said student activist Tu Awng.

Today the Thailand-based Kachin News Group (KNG) also released a first mini drug report on Kachin State titled "Authorities feed on heroin epidemic in Hpakant".

The report pointed out that the junta allows the rampant use of all kinds of drugs in Hpakant jade mining area in Kachin State where fortune seekers from the whole of Burma come. Most jade miners and workers of jade mining companies are into drugs.

The report also pointed out that Myitkyina University once known as the "Center of learning is now a heroin haven" because students have drugs freely inside in the campus. The Myitkyina-based MDM (Medicin Du Monde – France) has placed a 'Waste Bin' in the university toilet for intravenous drug users among students for discarding used syringes.

The junta's Northern Command or Kachin State Commander Brig-Gen Soe Win has promised that he will completely eradicate drugs in the state during his tenure. However, locals said drug users and distributors are having much more of a free run than during the tenure of his predecessor Maj-Gen Ohn Myint.

Residents of Manhkring quarter in Myitkyina said, they do not go to the nearby bank of the Irrawaddy River (Mali Hka in Kachin) and crop fields near the river because they are scared of hurting their feet on the abundance of syringes littered in these places.

At the moment, in the big prison in Zion (also pronounced Zee Lon) quarter in Myitkyina, most prisoners related to drug cases are Kachins. Some of the prisoners are being sent to the frontline as porters in the current war with the Karen National Union (KNU) near Thailand-Burma border, said prison sources.

KIO wants KIA to be "State Security Force"

June 25, 2009

The Kachin Independence Organization (KIO), one of strongest ethnic ceasefire groups in military-ruled Burma would rather transform its armed-wing to a "State Security Force" rather than a "Border Guard Force" it has told the junta, said KIO sources.

The KIO has officially informed the junta of its willingness to transform the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) to a “State Security Force” (SSF) instead of the junta’s proposal that it be changed to a battalion of a "Border Guard Force" when the two sides met at Mali Hka Center in the junta's Northern Command headquarters in Kachin State's capital Myitkyina on June 21 (Sunday), said KIO leaders.

The KIO delegates were led by Vice-president No. 1 Lt-Gen Gauri Zau Seng at the meeting while the junta was led by Brig-Gen Soe Win, the Commander of the Northern Command (Ma Pa Kha), added KIO sources.

The KIA, the armed-wing of KIO, is currently based in Kachin State and in Northeast Shan State. There are four brigades and five army divisions in Kachin State and one brigade in Northeast Shan State with over 20,000 men and women in both KIO and KIA, insiders said.

The junta has responded to the SSF proposal of the KIO by despatching more Burmese Army troops secretly to Kachin State and the border between Kachin State and Shan State on the orders of Lt-Gen Ye Myint, Chief of Military Affairs Security (Sa Ya Pha) of the junta, according to local sources, who are reliable.

Fresh batches of Burmese troops are being sent to Kachin State as standby for a possible civil war with the KIA, said sources close to Burmese troops.

The KIA, however, will not start a war with the ruling junta but it has ordered its soldiers to standby in the event of a war which will basically be defensive in nature, according to sources in the KIO/A headquarters Laiza on the Sino-Burma border in Kachin State.
 
Local political and military analysts believe that the palpable tension between the KIO and the junta may lead to a resumption of civil war but that may happen after the next year's general elections proposed by the junta.

The KIO/A signed a ceasefire agreement with the junta on February 24, 1994 and it supported the junta-conducted National Convention (NC) for drafting the country's new constitution and referendum on the new constitution against the wishes of the Kachin people.
