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.

Don't strike the unresisting priests. Don't imprison the unresisting priests. Don't kill the unresisting priests. They are out of the Power, And living in conformity with the law that is totally different from the Power. To threaten and strike them, To imprison and kill them, Those are totally lack of understanding and totally violence to "the people who live in conformity to the different law". And thus, destroying Others. And we are Others, too. Don't threaten the unresisting us. Don't strike the unresisting us. Don't imprison the unresisting us. Don't kill the unresisting us. We are out of the Power, and always have right to live in conformity to the different law. To threaten and strike us, To imprison and kill us. Those are totally lack of understanding and totally violence to "the people who own free will". And thus, destroying Others. Don't destroy Others. Don't destroy them, and us. Don't threaten.

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.

Healing Burma: Getting Relief to Myanmar. Dear friends, Burma has been devastated by a cyclone—and by the military junta's failure to help its people cope. Help raise relief funds for distribution by Burma's monks: CLICK TO DONATE! In the wake of a massive cyclone, tens of thousands of Burmese are dead. More than 40,000 are missing. A million are homeless. But what's happening in Burma is not just a natural disaster—it's also a catastrophe of bad leadership. Burma's brutal and corrupt military junta failed to warn the people, failed to evacuate any areas, and suppressed freedom of communication so that Burmese people didn't know the storm was coming when the rest of the world did. Now the government is failing to respond to the disaster and obstructing international aid organizations. Humanitarian relief is urgently needed, but Burma's government could easily delay, divert or misuse any aid. Today the International Burmese Monks Organization, including many leaders of the democracy protests last fall, launched a new effort to provide relief through Burma's powerful grass roots network of monasteries—the most trusted institutions in the country and currently the only source of housing and support in many devastated communities. Click below to help the Burmese people with a donation and see a video appeal to Avaaz from a leader of the monks: https://secure.avaaz.org/en/burma_cyclone/77.php Giving to the monks is a smart, fast way to get aid directly to Burma's people. Governments and international aid organizations are important, but face challenges—they may not be allowed into Burma, or they may be forced to provide aid according to the junta's rules. And most will have to spend large amounts of money just setting up operations in the country. The monks are already on the front lines of the aid effort—housing, feeding, and supporting the victims of the cyclone since the day it struck. The International Burmese Monks Organization will send money directly to each monastery through their own networks, bypassing regime controls. Last year, more than 800,000 of us around the world stood with the Burmese people as they rose up against the military dictatorship. The government lost no time then in dispatching its armies to ruthlessly crush the nonviolent democracy movement—but now, as tens of thousands die, the junta's response is slow and threatens to divert precious aid into the corrupt regime's pockets. The monks are unlikely to receive aid from governments or large humanitarian organizations, but they have a stronger presence and trust among the Burmese people than both. If we all chip in a little bit, we can help them to make a big difference. Click here to donate: https://secure.avaaz.org/en/burma_cyclone/77.php With hope, Ricken, Ben, Graziela, Paul, Iain, Veronique, Pascal, Galit and the whole Avaaz team PS: Here are some links to more information: For more information about Avaaz's work to support the Burmese people, click here: http://www.avaaz.org/en/burma_report_back/ For more information about the cyclone, the humanitarian crisis, and the political dimension, see these articles: New York Times: "A Challenge Getting Relief to Myanmar's Remote Areas." 7 May 2008.
