Call for Action

To the democracy and ethnic opposition groups, we urge you to:

• Establish a single united opposition leadership which is decisive, proactive, and has the necessary skill sets to oversee the broad range of activities to free Burma.
• Establish a single united opposition organization that represents all ethnic groups (incl. Burmans) and presents only one united face to the international community, esp. to China and ASEAN.
• Understand that ethnic autonomy is as important, or even more important, than democracy. Without autonomy, there can be no sustainable democracy. Translate this understanding into actions and rhetoric which gives equal weight to both ethnic autonomy and democracy.
• Engage in bilateral, not trilateral, talks and agreements with the regime. A united opposition is united; therefore, talks and agreements with the SPDC should be bilateral. Trilateral talks and agreements present the SPDC with potential and unnecessary advantages.
