ေတာ္လွန္ေရးသတင္းသမားတဦးရဲ့ ဒုိင္ယာရီ (၂၁)

God Army တပ္မွဴးေတြ လက္နက္ခ်ၿပီ

ရတ္ခ်ပူရီေဆးရံုစီးနင္းမႈျဖစ္ၿပီး တနွစ္၀န္းက်င္ေလာက္ ၾကာတဲ့အခါမွာေတာ့ God Army တပ္မႉး ၂ ဦး ျဖစ္တဲ့ ေဂ်ာ္နီနဲ႔ လူသာထူး အပါအ၀င္ တပ္ဖြဲ႔၀င္တဒါဇင္ခန္႔ ထုိင္းစစ္တပ္ဆီမွာ လက္နက္ခ်တယ္ဆုိၿပီး သတင္း၀င္လာပါတယ္။ ထန္ဟင္ဒုကၡသည္စခန္းနဲ႔ သိပ္မေ၀းတဲ့ တဂုိလန္းေက်းရြာရွိ ကရင္သတင္း ရပ္ကြက္တခုကေန က်ေနာ္ဆီဖုန္းဆက္လာတာပါ။ ကမာပုေလာစခန္းက်ၿပီး ဆုတ္ခြာလာတဲ့ God Army နဲ႔ VBSW မွ တပ္ဖဲြ႔၀င္တခ်ဳိ႕ဟာ တဂုိလမ္းနယ္စပ္ဘက္ေရာက္လာၿပီး ထုိင္းဘက္က ဖိအားမ်ား လြန္းတဲ့အတြက္ အခုလုိ လက္နက္ခ်ဖုိ႔ ျဖစ္လာတာလုိ႔ သူတုိ႔ကဆုိပါတယ္။

ဒီလုိနဲ႔ ၂၀၀၁ ခုနွစ္ ဇန္န၀ါရီလဆန္းပုိင္းတရက္မွာ တဂုိလမ္းရြာနဲ႔ သိပ္မေ၀းတဲ့ စ၀မ္္ဖြန္း (Suan Phung) ၿမိဳ႕က ထုိင္း-နယ္ျခားေစာင့္တပ္ရင္းတခုမွာ က်င္းပတဲ့ God Army သတင္းစာရွင္းပဲြဆီ က်ေနာ္ေရာက္သြားပါတယ္။ နယ္စပ္နဲ႔ေတာေတာင္ေတြထဲ တေယာက္တည္းသြားေနၾက က်ေနာ္ဟာ အခုလို ထုိင္းအာဏာပုိင္ေတြနဲ႔ေတြ႔ရမယ့္ ပြဲမ်ဳိးဆိုရင္ တေယာက္တည္း မသြားရဲပါ။ ဒီေတာ့ ထုံးစံ အတုိင္း ID ခုိင္တဲ့ သတင္းသမားမိတ္ေဆြေတြ လုိက္ရွာရတာေပါ့။

ဒီတႀကိမ္ က်ေနာ္နဲ႔တဲြမိတဲ့ ကံဆုိးသူတဦးကေတာ့ BBC ျမန္မာပုိင္းမွ သတင္းသမား ကုိကိုေအာင္ပါ။ BBC ရံုးက ကားနဲ႔သြားမယ္လို႔ျပင္ထားၿပီးမွ ဘာေၾကာင့္မွန္းမသိ၊ အဲဒီကားက အဆင္သင့္ျဖစ္မေနပါ။ ဒီေတာ့ နီးစပ္ရာ (Taxi Meter) တကၠစီတစီးကိုငွားၿပီး က်ေနာ္တုိ႔နွစ္ေယာက္ ရတ္ခ်ပူရီခရုိင္ထဲက စ၀မ္ဖြန္းၿမိဳ့ဆီ ထြက္လာပါတယ္။ သတင္းစာရွင္းပဲြလုပ္မယ့္ အခ်ိန္က ေန႔လယ္ ၁ နာရီ၊ က်ေနာ္တုိ႔ ထြက္လာတဲ့အခ်ိန္က မနက္ ၁၀ နာရီေက်ာ္ေနၿပီ။ ကားေမာင္းခ်ိန္က ၂ နွစ္ရီေက်ာ္မယ္လုိ႔ ထင္ပါ တယ္။

ကားသမားက အဂၤလိပ္စကားသိပ္မရ။ က်ေနာ္တုိ႔ကလည္း ထုိင္းစကားသိပ္မရ။ ဒီေတာ့ ထုိင္းတ၀က္၊ အဂၤလိပ္တ၀က္နဲ႔ စကားေျပာၾကၿပီး က်ေနာ္တုိ႔ဟာ ျမန္မာသတင္းေထာက္ေတြျဖစ္တဲ့အေၾကာင္း၊ God Army ပဲြကုိ သတင္းသြားယူဖုိ႔ လာေၾကာင္းေျပာရင္းနဲ႔ ေဒၚေအာင္ဆန္းစုၾကည္အေၾကာင္း၊ ျမန္မာ့နုိင္ငံ ေရးအေျခေနအေၾကာင္းေတြပါ ေျပာျဖစ္လုိက္ပါတယ္။ ကားသမားက ေဒၚေအာင္ဆန္းစုၾကည္နဲ႔ ဒီမုိက ေရစီအေရးလႈပ္ရွားသူေတြကုိ ေထာက္ခံေၾကာင္း ''ဒီး ဒီး'' နဲ႔ လက္မေထာင္ျပေနပါတယ္။ က်ေနာ္တုိ႔ ရွင္းျပတာကို တကယ္နားလည္လုိ႔ လက္မေထာင္ျပတာလား။ သူ႔ကားကိုငွားလာလုိ႔ တာ၀န္အရ ေထာင္ျပတာလားဆုိတာကေတာ့ သိပ္မကြဲျပားလွ။

ေန႔လယ္ ၁ နာရီမထုိးခင္ေလးမွာ ရဲစခန္းနဲ႔သိပ္မေ၀းတဲ့ ေတာခ်ေတာ (နယ္ျခားေစာင့္တပ္) တပ္ရင္း ဆီ ေရာက္သြားေတာ့ က်ေနာ္တို႔ အရင္ေရာက္ေနတဲ့ သတင္းေထာက္ကားေတြအမ်ားႀကီး။ အေတာ္ မ်ားမ်ားက သက္ဆုိင္ရာသတင္းဌာနက တံဆိပ္ပါတဲ့ကားေတြ၊ ၿပီးေတာ့ ေပါင္မႈန္႔ကားလို႔ေခၚၾကတဲ့ အျဖဴေရာင္ဗင္ကားေတြ။ ထူးထူးျခားျခား Taxi Meter တံဆိပ္ႀကီးနဲ႔ ၀င္လာတဲ့သတင္းေထာက္ဆုိလုိ႔ က်ေနာ္တုိ႔ နွစ္ဦးပဲရွိပါတယ္။ သတင္းယူဖုိ႔လာတာပဲ။ ဘယ္ကားနဲ႔လာလာ ေရာက္ဖုိ႔က အဓိက မဟုတ္ ပါလား။

သတင္းေထာက္ကေန အခ်ဳပ္သားျဖစ္သြားတဲ့ ခဏတာ

အဲဒါက က်ေနာ္တုိ႔သတင္းသမားေတြဘက္က စဥ္းစားခ်က္ပါ။ လုံၿခံဳေရးတာ၀န္ရွိသူေတြဘက္က စဥ္း စားပုံက က်ေနာ္တုိ႔နဲ႔တူပုံမရ။ ဘာေၾကာင့္လဲဆုိိရင္ ဒီပဲြဟာ God Army သတင္းစာရွင္းပဲြဆုိေပမယ့္ ထုိင္း၀န္ႀကီးခ်ဳပ္ ခြ်မ္လိပုိင္နဲ႔ ကာကြယ္ေရးဦးစီးခ်ဳပ္ ဆုရာယုတုိ႔ကုိယ္တုိင္ လာေရာက္မွာျဖစ္ျပီး နယ္ စပ္အနီးမွာက်င္းပမယ့္ ပဲြျဖစ္တာေၾကာင့္ လုံၿခံဳေရးကုိ အထူးတင္းက်ပ္ထားပုံရပါတယ္။ က်ေနာ္တုိ႔က ေတာ့ ဒါေတြကို မစဥ္းစားျဖစ္ပါဘူး။ သတင္းစာရွင္းပဲြလုပ္မယ့္ အေဆာက္ဦေရွ႕က အျခားသတင္း ေထာက္ေတြနဲ႔အတူေရာၿပီး မုိက္ကရုိိဖုန္းထုတ္၊ တယ္လီဖုန္းဆက္နဲ႔ သတင္းယူဖုိ႔ အဆင္သင့္ျပင္ၾက ပါတယ္။

အဲဒီအခ်ိန္မွာ အနက္ေရာင္ယူနီေဖာင္း၀တ္ထားတဲ့ လက္နက္ကုိင္စစ္သား ၃-၄ ဦးေရာက္လာၿပီး ''ခင္ ဗ်ားတုိ႔ ျမန္မာေတြလား'' လုိ႔ ထုိင္းဘာသာနဲ႔ ေမးပါတယ္။ ဟုတ္တယ္ေပါ့။ သူက BBC က၊ က်ေနာ္က DVB ကဆုိၿပီး ေျပာပါတယ္။ သတင္းေထာက္ကတ္ျပခုိင္းေတာ့ က်ေနာ့္မွာ ဘာမွျပစရာမရွိ။ ကိုကုိ ေအာင္က ကတ္ေမ့က်န္ခဲ့တယ္လုိ႔ ေျပာပါတယ္။ ဒါဆုိရင္ Passport ျပပါလုိ႔ ေျပာပါတယ္။ ကုိကို ေအာင္က Passport ပါမလာတဲ့အတြက္ BBC Work Permit စာအုပ္ကို ျပလုိက္ပါတယ္။ ခက္ ေနတာက က်ေနာ္။

က်ေနာ္မွာ Passport ပါလာေပမယ့္ အဲဒါကအတုႀကီး၊ ရြဲလည္း အေတာ္ရြဲေနတယ္ဆုိေတာ့ အဲဒါႀကီး ျပလုိက္မွ စာအုပ္အတုမႈနဲ႔ အဖမ္းခံေနရရင္ ပုိဆုိးမယ္ဆုိၿပီး ဘာမွမျပဘဲ မယုံရင္ ေအာ္စလိုရံုးကို ဖုန္း ဆက္ပါလုိ႔ ေျပာလုိက္ပါတယ္။ အဲဒီအခ်ိန္ ေအာ္စလုိမွာ မနက္ ၆ နာရီဆုိေတာ့ ရံုးမွာ ဘယ္သူမွရွိပုံမရ။ ဒီေတာ့ ထုိင္းစစ္သားေတြက က်ေနာ္အေပၚ သံသယ၀င္လာပုံရပါတယ္။ က်ေနာ္တုိ႔နွစ္ေယာက္ စလုံး ကို (တကယ္က ဖမ္းသြားတဲ့သေဘာ) လုံၿခံဳေရးဂိတ္တဲထဲေခၚၿပီး ထုိင္းခုိင္းပါတယ္။ ၿပီးေတာ့ က်ေနာ္ တုိ႔ရဲ့ ရီေကာ္ဒါထဲက အသံေတြ၊ မွတ္စုထဲက ဖုန္းနံပါတ္ေတြကုိ စစ္ပါတယ္။

ကံကဆုိးခ်င္ေတာ့ က်ေနာ္မွတ္စုထဲက ဖုန္းနံပါတ္စာရင္းထဲမွာ ထန္းဟင္ဒုကၡသည္စခန္းဥကၠ႒ အမည္ နဲ႔နံပါတ္ေတြ၊ KNU တပ္မဟာ ၄ က ေခါင္းေဆာင္ေတြရဲ့ အမည္နဲ႔ နံပါတ္ေတြကို ေတြ႔သြားပါတယ္။ ''ခင္ဗ်ား Passport နဲ႔ ရန္ကုန္ကေနလာတာလား၊ နယ္စပ္အဖြဲ႔စည္းတခုခုကလား'' ဆိုၿပီး ထုိင္းစစ္ ဗုိလ္ကေမးပါတယ္။ ရန္ကုန္ကေန လာတဲ့အေၾကာင္း၊ သတင္းေထာက္တာ၀န္အရ နယ္စပ္က လူေတြ အားလုံးနဲ႔ အဆက္သြယ္ရွိဖုိ႔လုိအပ္ေၾကာင္းရွင္းျပေပမယ့္ ထုိင္းစစ္ဗုိလ္က က်ေနာ့္ကိုမယုံေတာ့ပါ။ ကုိ ကုိေအာင္ကုိ သြားခ်င္သြားလုိ႔ရၿပီ။ ဒီလူကုိေတာ့ ဒီမွာ ခဏထားခဲ့ပါ ဆုိၿပီး အဲဒီစစ္ဗုိလ္က ေျပာေနပါ တယ္။

အဲဒါမွ ဒုကၡ။ ၀န္ႀကီးခ်ဳပ္နဲ႔ ကာကြယ္ေရးဦးစီးခ်ဳပ္တုိ႔ရဲ့ ရဟတ္ယာဥ္ဆင္းသံ၊ တျခားသတင္းေထာက္ ေတြရဲ့ကားေတြ ထပ္ေရာက္လာသံၾကားေနရၿပီး သတင္းစာရွင္းပဲြစဖုိ႔ ဖိတ္ေခၚသံပါ ၾကားေနရပါၿပီ။ ကုိကုိေအာင္လည္း က်ေနာ့္ကိုထားၿပီး ထြက္သြားရမလား ေ၀ခဲြရခက္ေနပံုပါပဲ။ ထုိင္း TV သတင္း ေထာက္ေတြကလည္း က်ေနာ္တုိ႔ကုိ TV ရုိက္ေနၾကပါၿပီ။ သတင္းလာယူတဲ့ သတင္းေထာက္က သ တင္းဖန္တီးသူျဖစ္ရေတာ့မယ့္ ကိန္းပါပဲ။

အဲဒီအခ်ိန္မွာ ကံေကာင္းေထာက္မစြာနဲ႔ လုံၿခံဳေရးဂိတ္တဲေရွ႕လာရပ္တဲ့ ကားေပၚကဆင္းလာသူ သ တင္းေထာက္ေတြထဲ က်ေနာ္နဲ႔အတူ အိႏၵိယခရီးစဥ္အတူသြားဖူးတဲ့၊ က်ေနာ္ေဆာင္းပါးေတြကို ဖတ္ဖူး တဲ့ the Nation သတင္းစာက နာမည္ႀကီးသတင္းေထာက္္ ဒြန္ပါသန္ကုိ က်ေနာ္လွမ္းျမင္လုိက္ ပါတယ္။ သူ႔ကုိေအာ္ေခၚၿပီး အေျခေနကုိရွင္းျပေတာ့ သူက ထုိင္းစစ္ဗုိလ္နဲ႔ ထုိင္းဘာသာနဲ႔ ေျပာေနပါ တယ္။ က်ေနာ္က သိပ္နားမလည္ပါ။ ဒါေပမယ့္ သူေျပာတဲ့အထဲ တာ့ဆင္တုိ႔၊ ခြ်မ္လိပုိင္တုိ႔၊ အတုိက္ခံ တုိ႔၊ အစိုးရတုိ႔ ပါေနတဲ့အတြက္ အတုိက္ခံသတင္းဌာနဘက္က က်ေနာ္လည္း သတင္းယူခြင့္ရွိေၾကာင္း၊ က်ေနာ့္ကို သူ ေကာင္းေကာင္းသိေၾကာင္း၊ သူတာ၀န္ယူေၾကာင္း စသျဖင့္ေျပာေတာ့ ထုိင္းစစ္ဗုိလ္က က်ေနာ့္ကုိ ဆက္ဖမ္းထားဖုိ႔ ခက္သြားပုံရပါတယ္။

သတင္းယူခြင့္ေတာ့ေပးမယ္။ ဒါေပမယ့္ သူတုိ႔ဆီက အရပ္၀တ္လုံုၿခံဳေရးတဦးက အနီးကပ္လုိက္ေပးဖုိ႔ လုိအပ္တယ္လို႔ ဆုိပါတယ္။ လုိက္ခ်င္လုိက္ေပါ့။ ဟုိမွာ သတင္းစာရွင္းပဲြက စေတာ့မယ္။ အျမန္လုပ္ ၾကလုိ႔ေျပာၿပီး က်ေနာ္တုိ႔အားလုံး သတင္းစာရွင္းပဲြလုပ္တဲ့ အခန္းဘက္ ေျပးလာၾကပါတယ္။ အရပ္၀တ္ သန္မာထြားႀကိဳင္း စစ္ဗိုလ္တဦးကလည္း က်ေနာ္ေဘးကေန ယွဥ္ေျပးလုိ႔ေပါ့။

ေတြ႔ပါၿပီ။ ဟုိမွာ မဟာနာမည္ေက်ာ္ God Army ဘုရားသခင္းတပ္မေတာ္က တပ္မွဴးႀကီးနွစ္ဦး။ တ ကယ့္ကေလးေလးေတြ။ အသက္ကရွိလွ ၁၂-၁၃ ေပါ့။ တဦးက ဆံပင္ရွည္ကုိ ဒီတုိင္းထားထား ဆဲ ျဖစ္ေပမယ့္ ေနာက္တဦးကေတာ့ ဆံပင္ညႇပ္ထားပါတယ္။ သူတုိ႔ေဘးမွာလည္း သူတုိ႔နဲ႔သက္တူရြယ္တူ ကေလးငယ္ တဒါဇင္ခန္႔ရွိမယ္။ ကေလးတဦးရဲ့လက္ထဲမွာဆုိ ေဘာလုံးေလးတလုံးပုိက္လုိ႔။ အခမ္း အနားက သူပုန္ေတြ လက္နက္ခ်ပဲြနဲ႔မတူပဲ ဒုကၡသည္စခန္းက ကေလးငယ္တစုကို ေတြ႔ရသလုိမ်ဳိး ျဖစ္ ေနပါတယ္။

သူတုိ႔ေနာက္မွာေတာ့ မိဘလုိ႔ယူဆရသူ အသက္ ၄၀-၅၀ အရြယ္ လူႀကီး ၃-၄ ဦး။ နာမည္ႀကီးလွတဲ့ God Army တပ္မွဴးေတြကို ဓာတ္ပုံေတြ၊ TV ေတြထဲမွာ ေတြ႔ဖူးၿပီးျဖစ္ေပမယ့္ အရွင္လတ္ လတ္ အျပင္မွာ ေတြ႔ဖူးတာကေတာ့ ဒါ ပထမ ဆုံးအႀကိမ္ပါပဲ။ အေ၀းကေန ဓာတ္ပုံလွမ္းရုိက္တာ အားမရလုိ႔ အနီးကပ္၀င္ရုိက္ဖုိ႔ျပင္ေတာ့ က်ေနာ္ေဘးနားရပ္ေနတဲ့ ကုိသန္မာက ခြင့္မျပဳျပပါဘူး။ သူ႔ဗလနဲ႔တားၿပီး ဒီထက္ ေရွ႕တုိးခြင့္မေပးနုိင္ဘူးလို႔ ေျပာပါတယ္။

အင္း ဒုကၡပါပဲ။ သူတုိ႔ဆီသြားမရရင္ မင္းတုိ႔ ၀န္ႀကီးခ်ဳပ္ဆီ သြားရုိက္မယ္ကြာလုိ႔ စိတ္ထဲကေျပာၿပီး မစၥ တာခြ်မ္နဲ႔ ဗုိလ္ခ်ဳပ္ဆုရာယုတုိ႔ကုိ ဓာတ္ပုံသြားရုိက္ေတာ့ ဒီပုဂၢိဳလ္က လုံး၀မတားပါဘူး။ ထုိင္းလုံျခံဳေရး ကလည္း တမ်ဳိးႀကီးပါလား။ ၀န္ႀကီးခ်ဳပ္ေတြ၊ စစ္ဦးစီးခ်ဳပ္ေတြထက္ God Army က ကေလးတပ္မွဴး ေတြ ကို ပုိအေလးထားေနရသလားဆုိၿပီး က်ေနာ္စိတ္ထဲက ေျပာမိပါတယ္။

သတင္းစာရွင္းပဲြၿပီးလုိ႔ ကားေပၚျပန္တက္ခါနီးမွ နယ္ျခားေစာင့္ရဲ့ တပ္ရင္းမွဴးကိုယ္တုိင္ က်ေနာ္တုိ႔ကို လာေရာက္လက္ဆဲြနႈတ္ဆက္ၿပီး နားလည္မႈ လဲြခဲ့တဲ့အတြက္ေတာင္းပန္ပါေၾကာင္း စကားျပန္က တ ဆင့္ ေျပာပါတယ္။ ဘာကုိနားလည္မႈလဲြတာလဲဆုိတာကို က်ေနာ္က သိပ္သေဘာမေပါက္ပါ။ ဘန္ ေကာက္အျပန္လမ္း Taxi ေပၚေရာက္ျပီး ကားဆရာက အေၾကာင္းစုံရွင္းျပမွ ''ဟုိက္ ဒီလုိလား'' ဆုိၿပီး အံ့ၾသမိပါတယ္။

ျပီးခဲ့တဲ့ ဇူလုိင္လ ၅ ရက္ေန႔က ကမၻာမွာအထင္ရွားဆုံး စက္ဘီးစီးျပိဳင္ပဲြၾကီးျဖစ္တဲ့ Tour de France (ျပင္သစ္နုိင္ငံတပတ္) ျပိဳင္ပဲြစေတာ့ ျမန္မာနုိင္ငံက စက္ဘီးေလာကအေၾကာင္းစဥ္းစားမိပါ တယ္။ စက္ဘီးေလာကဆုိတာ ျပိဳင္ဘီးစီးေနတဲ့လူနည္းစုေလာကအျပင္ က်ေနာ္တုိ႔ ထား၀ယ္ေဒသမွာ တေျဖးေျဖးေျပာင္းလဲလာေနတဲ့ စက္ဘီးယဥ္ေက်းမႈမွ ေမာ္ေတာ္ဆုိင္ကယ္ယဥ္ေက်းမႈအေၾကာင္းလဲပါ ပါတယ္။

ဒီနွစ္က်ေရာက္တဲ့ ၁၀၁ ၾကိမ္ေျမာက္ Tour de France ျပိဳင္ပဲြကို အဂၤလန္နုိင္ငံ Leeds ျမိိ့ဳကေန စတင္ျပီးမွ ျပင္သစ္နုိင္ငံတပတ္ စီးနင္းမွာျဖစ္ပါတယ္။ ကမၻာတလႊားက အေကာင္းဆုံးစက္ဘီးသမား ၁၀၀ ေက်ာ္ သတင္း ၃ ပတ္ၾကာစီးနင္းတဲ့ဒီပဲြဟာ ကမၻာ့အထင္ရွားဆုံး စက္ဘီးစီးျပိဳင္ပဲြၾကီးျဖစ္ပါ တယ္။ ဒီပဲြမွာ ၾသစေတလ်၊ ဥေရာပ၊ အေမရိကားနဲ႔ လက္တင္အေမရိကားနုိင္ငံေတြက စက္ဘီး အ ေက်ာ္အေမာ္ေတြ၀င္ျပိဳင္က်ေပမဲ့ အာရွတုိက္ဖက္က၀င္ျပိဳင္သူဦးေရ မရွိသေလာက္ပါပဲ။ ျမန္မာနုိင္ငံက စက္ဘီးသမားဆုိရင္ေတာ့ အနားေတာင္မသီနုိင္ေသးတဲ့အေျခေနပါ။

ျပီးခဲ့တဲ့နွစ္ ေမလအတြင္းက ေနျပည္ေတာ္ေရာက္ေတာ့ အေရွ့ေတာင္အာရွအားကစားပဲြအၾကိဳ စက္ဘီး ျပိဳင္ပဲြက်င္းပေနတာကို ျမင္ခဲ့ရပါတယ္။ ျမန္မာစက္ဘီးသမားေတြဟာ အေရွ့ေတာင္အာရွနုိင္ငံေတြက စက္ဘီးသမားေတြနဲ႔ ယွဥ္စီးနုိင္တယ္ဆုိေပမယ့္ ဆုတံဆိပ္ရေအာင္ စြမ္းေဆာင္နုိင္မႈအားနည္းေနဆဲ ျဖစ္ပါတယ္။ အိမ္နီးခ်င္း ထုိင္းနဲ႔မေလးရွားတုိ႔က ျမန္မာထက္မ်ားစြာသာေနဆဲျဖစ္ပါတယ္။ နည္းစနစ္ အားနည္းလုိ႔လား၊ လူေတြရဲ့ၾကံ့ခုိင္မႈနဲ႔ ေထာက္ပံ့မႈအားနည္းလုိ႔လား။ တာ၀န္ရွိသူေတြဖက္က အေသ ခ်ာစဥ္းစားျပီး နုိင္ငံတကာတန္း၀င္တဲ့ စက္ဘီးသမားေတြေပၚလာေအာင္ ၾကိဳးစားဖုိ႔လုိေနဆဲျဖစ္ပါ တယ္။

ဒါက နုိင္တကာနဲ႔ယဥ္နုိင္ေအာင္ၾကိဳးစားေနတဲ့ ျမန္မာ့လက္ေရြးစဥ္ စက္ဘီးသမားေတြရဲ့အေျခေနပါ။ ျပည္နယ္္-တုိင္း စက္ဘီးသမားေတြအေျခေနေကာ ဘယ္လုိရွိသလဲ။ ျပည္နယ္-တုိင္း ျပိဳင္ပဲြနဲ႔မၾကံဳခဲ့ရလုိ႔ အတိအက်မသိရပါ။ ဒါေပမယ့္ နည္းျပနဲ႔ဒုိင္လူၾကီးျဖစ္ေနၾကတဲ့ လြန္ခဲ့တဲ့နွစ္ ၂၀ ေက်ာ္က က်ေနာ္တုိ႔နဲ႔ စီးေဖၚစီးဖက္ေတြရဲ့အေျပာတုိင္းဆုိရင္ စက္ဘီးကုိအရူးအမူးစိတ္၀င္စားတဲ့ လူငယ္တခ်ဳိ႔ွရွိေနဆဲျဖစ္ေပမဲ့ အမ်ားစုဟာ ဒီလုိျပိဳင္ပဲြ၀င္စက္ဘီးထက္ Mountain Bike (ေတာစီး ေတာင္စီး စက္ဘီး) ေတြကို စိတ္ ၀င္စားသူကပုိမ်ားလာတယ္လို႔ေျပာပါတယ္။ ဒါကလဲ ေခတ္ေျပာင္းကာလမွာေပၚလာတဲ့ စက္ဘီးကုပၸ ဏီေတြ၊ ေၾကာ္ျငာေတြ၊ ေစ်းကြက္စီးပြါးေရးစနစ္ရဲ့ဆဲြေဆာင္မႈေၾကာင့္ျဖစ္နုိင္တယ္လို႔ ယူဆရပါတယ္။

ေနျပည္ေတာ္ကေန ထား၀ယ္ဖက္ေရာက္ေတာ့ Mountain Bike ေတြ အေတာ္ေခတ္စားေနတာကို ကုိယ္တုိင္ျမင္ခဲ့ရပါတယ္။ ထား၀ယ္မွာ Mountain Bike စက္ဘီးအသင္းရွိတဲ့အျပင္ ထုိင္းဖက္က Mountain Bike စက္ဘီးသမားေတြလဲ ကန္ခ်နပူရီ-ထား၀ယ္ နယ္စပ္ျဖတ္လမ္မးသစ္ၾကီးကေန ထား ၀ယ္အထိ လာလည္ၾကတာကိုေတြ႔ရပါတယ္။ ဒါေပမယ့္ တခ်ိန္ကက်ေနာ္တုိ႔နဲ႔အတူ စီးေဖၚစီးဖက္ေတြ ကေတာ့ စက္ဘီးမစီးေတာ့ပဲ ေမာ္ေတာ္ဆုိင္ကယ္ပဲစီးေနတာေတြ႔ရပါတယ္။

''အခုက ငါတုိ႔ေခတ္ကလုိ စက္ဘီးေခတ္မဟုတ္ေတာ့ဘူးေလ။ အားလုံး ဆုိင္ကယ္တ၀ီ၀ီနဲ႔ ဆုိင္ကယ္ ေခတ္ျဖစ္သြားျပီ။ စက္ဘီးဆုိတာ ကေလးေတြပဲစီးေတာ့တာ'' လုိ႔ က်ေနာ္မိတ္ေဆြေတြကေျပာပါတယ္။ ဟုတ္ပါတယ္။ အရင္က စက္ဘီးစီးျပီး ရြာကေန ထား၀ယ္ျမိဳ့ေပၚသြားေနၾကတဲ့ အျဖဴအစိမ္း၀တ္ အလ က၊ အထက ေက်ာင္းသားေတြ၊ ေကာလိပ္ေက်ာင္းသားေတြ၊ လက္သမား၊ ပန္းရံသမား၊ ေစ်းသည္ေတြ အားလုံး အခု ဆုိင္ကယ္နဲ႔ ျဖစ္ကုန္ၾကျပီ။

ဒါကိုတုိးတက္မႈတခုအျဖစ္ ၾကိဳဆိုရမွာေပါ့။ အရင္က စက္ဘီးစီးေနတဲ့လူေတြ အခုဆုိင္ကယ္စီးနုိင္လာ တယ္ဆုိတာဟာ စီးပြါးေရးတုိးတက္လာတဲ့သေဘာ၊ လူေနမႈအဆင့္ျမင့္လာတဲ့သေဘာ မဟုတ္ပါလား။ ဒါေပမယ့္ ဒီတိုးတက္မႈအတြက္ေပးဆပ္ေနၾကရတာကလဲ မနည္းလွပါဘူး။ စက္ဘီးတုိက္လုိ႔ လူေသ တယ္ဆုိတာ မၾကားဖူးခဲ့ေပမဲ့ အခုေတာ့ ဆုိင္ကယ္တုိက္လုိ႔လူေသတဲ့သတင္းေတြ ေန႔စဥ္လုိလိုၾကားေန ရပါတယ္။

တကယ္ေတာ့ စက္ဘီးဆုိတာ လုိရာခရီးကိုသြားနုိင္ဖုိ႔ စီးေတာ္ယဥ္ျဖစ္တဲ့အျပင္ စက္ဘီးစီးျခင္းဟာ အားကစားလုပ္ျခင္း၊ ေလ့က်င့္ခန္းလုပ္ျခင္းတမ်ဳိးျဖစ္တယ္ဆုိတာကုိ လူအေတာ္မ်ားမ်ားက ေမ႔ေလ်ာ့ ေနၾကပါတယ္။ က်ေနာ္တို႔ရြာမွာေတြ႔ရသေလာက္ဆုိရင္ေတာ့ လူေတြဟာ အရင္ကလုိ စက္ဘီးလဲ မစီး၊ လမ္းလဲမေလ်ာက္ခ်င္ေတာ့ပဲ တဖာလုံေလာက္ခရီးကအစ ဆုိင္ကယ္နဲ႔ပဲသြားပါေတာ့တယ္။ ဘုန္းၾကီး ေက်ာင္းသြားလဲဆုိင္ကယ္၊ စာသင္ေက်ာင္းသြားလဲဆုိင္ကယ္၊ လယ္ထဲဆင္းလဲဆုိင္ကယ္၊ ျခံထဲ၀င္လဲ ဆုိင္ကယ္၊ ေနရာတကာဆုိင္ကယ္ခ်ည္း္ျဖစ္ေနပါတယ္။

ေနာက္တခ်က္သတိထားမိတာက က်ေနာ္ရြာကိုေရာက္သြားတဲ့အခ်ိန္ဟာ ေမလ မုိးတြင္းကာလျဖစ္ေပ မဲ့ ရြာထိပ္က ေဘာ္လုံးကြင္းမွာ ေဘာလုံးကန္ေနတဲ့ လူငယ္တဦးမွမေတြ႔မိပါ။ က်ေနာ္တုိ႔ငယ္စဥ္တုန္း ကဆုိရင္ေတာ့ ၀ါတြင္းကာလ ဥပုဒ္ေန႔ေက်ာင္းပိတ္ခ်ိန္ဆိုရင္ ေန႔လည္ကတည္းက ကန္လုိက္တာ ည ေမွာင္တဲ့အထိ၊ အဲဒီကာလကက်ေနာ္တို႔အေခၚ ''ဘုရားၾကီး မီးထြန္းခ်ိန္အထိ'' ပါပဲ။ လာကန္တဲ့လူေတြ ကလဲ ရြာထဲကလူငယ္ေတြတင္မက။ ထား၀ယ္ျမိဳ့ေပၚကလူေတြ၊ တျခားရြာကလူငယ္ေတြပါ အသင္း လုိက္ စိမ္ေခၚပဲြေတြကန္ၾကတာ။

''အခုက အဲဒီေခတ္မဟုတ္ေတာ့ဘူးေလ။ ဒီေန႔လူငယ္ေတြက ေဘာ္လုံးကို ကုိယ္တုိင္အပင္ပန္းခံျပီး မကန္ေတာ့ဘူး။ ကြန္ျပဴတာေပၚမွာ ဂိမ္းပဲေဆာ့ေတာ့တယ္'' လုိ႔ ကေလးမိဘျဖစ္ေနၾကတဲ့ တခ်ိန္က ေဘာ္လုံးကန္ဖက္ သူငယ္ခ်င္းေတြကေျပာပါတယ္။ ''ဒီေန႔ကေလးေတြက ငါတုိ႔ေခတ္ကလုိ ကစားခ်ိန္ လဲ မရွိေတာ့ပါဘူးကြာ။ ေက်ာင္းကျပန္ရင္ က်ဳရွင္ေျပးရတာနဲ႔ ဘယ္မွာ ေဘာလုံးကန္ခ်ိန္ရွိပါေတာ့ မ လဲ'' လုိ႔ သူကမွတ္ခ်က္ေပးပါတယ္။

တကယ္ဆုိရင္ ညာဏနဲ႔ ကာယဆုိတာ တျပိဳင္တည္းဖြံျဖိဳးဖုိ႔လုိတယ္မဟုတ္ပါလား။ စာခ်ည္းပဲနင္းကန္ လုပ္ေနျပီး က်မ္းမာေရးမေကာင္းရင္လဲ ေရရွည္မွာ သူမ်ားကုိဘယ္ယွဥ္နုိင္ပါ့မလဲ။ ဒီေန႔လူငယ္ေတြဟာ လြန္ခဲ့တဲ့နွစ္ ၂၀ ေက်ာ္ က်ေနာ္တုိ႔ေခတ္ကေလာက္ေတာင္ ကာယဖက္မွာၾကံံခုိင္ဖြံျဖိဳးမႈမရွိေတာ့ဘူး လုိ႔ေ၀ဖန္သံေတြၾကားလာေနရပါတယ္။ တေလာကဖတ္ရတဲ့ေဆာင္းပါးတပုဒ္မွာဆုိရင္ အိမ္နီးခ်င္းထုိင္း နုိင္ငံက အသက္ ၂၀ တန္းလူငယ္ေတြဟာ အသက္ ၄၀ တန္းလူေတြထက္ ကုိယ္ကာယအမ်ားၾကီး ဖြံျဖိဳးတုိးတက္လာတယ္လို႔ဖတ္ရပါတယ္။ ဒါေပမယ့္ ျမန္မာနုိင္ငံမွာကေတာ့ အသက္ ၂၀ တန္းေတြက အသက္ ၄၀ တန္းေတြထက္ ကုိယ္ခႏၱာပုိေသးငယ္သြားတဲ့သေဘာမ်ဳိး ေရးထားပါတယ္။

ဒါေတြဟာ ဒီေန႔လူငယ္ေတြ ကုိယ္ကာယလႈပ္ရွားမႈနည္းလာတာနဲ႔ ဆုိင္မလား။ အစာအဟာရ မလုံ ေလာက္မႈနဲ႔ ဆုိင္မလား။ ေသခ်ာတာကေတာ့ က်ေနာ္တုိ႔ရြာကလူေတြကိုၾကည့္ရတာ လြန္ခဲ့တဲ့နွစ္ ၂၀ ကေလာက္ က်မ္းမာေရးမေကာင္းေတာ့သလုိပါပဲ။ ေနေကာင္း က်မ္းမာဖုိ႔အတြက္ ေလ့က်င့္ခန္းလုပ္ဖို႔ စိတ္မကူးၾကပဲ ေဆး၀ါးမွီ၀ဲဖုိ႔ပဲ စိတ္ကူးေနၾကတာကလဲ လြဲေခ်ာ္ျခင္းတခုပါပဲ။ ဒါေတြကို တာ၀န္ရွိ သူေတြအခ်ိန္ယူစဥ္းစား ျပင္ဆင္ဖုိ႔လုိပါတယ္။ နုိင္ငံတခုဖြံျဖိဳး တုိးတက္ဖုိ႔ဆုိတာဟာ ''အုိဖြ'' ဆုိျပီး ည တြင္းခ်င္းေျပာင္းလို႔ မရပါ။ ဆယ္နွစ္၊ နွစ္ ၂၀ စသျဖင့္ အခ်ိန္ယူျပီး မ်ဳိးဆက္အလုိက္ေျပာင္းမွ ရတဲ့ ကိစၥျဖစ္ပါတယ္။

အနွစ္ျပန္ခ်ဳပ္ရရင္ေတာ့ စက္ဘီးစီးတယ္ဆုိတာဟာ ဆုိင္ကယ္မ၀ယ္နုိင္လို႔ စီးေနျခင္းသက္သက္ မ ဟုတ္ပါ။ ဒါဟာ ကုိယ္ကာယလႈပ္ရွားမႈတမ်ဳိးျဖစ္တဲ့အတြက္ အေနာက္နုိင္ငံအေတာ္မ်ားမ်ားမွာ စက္ဘီး စီးၾကဖုိ႔နႈိးေဆာ္ေနပါတယ္။ ျမိဳ့တြင္းစီးစက္ဘီးေတြကုိ ေနရာတကာမွာအလြယ္တကူငွားနုိင္ေအာင္ စီစဥ္ ေပးထားျပီး စက္ဘီးလမ္းေတြကို ကားလမ္းေတြနဲ႔အျပိဳင္ေဖါက္ေပးထားပါတယ္။ စက္ဘီးစီးျခင္းနဲ႔လမ္း ေလ်ာက္ျခင္းဟာ လူတဦးခ်င္းစီေန႔စဥ္လုပ္သင့္တဲ့ က်မ္းမာေရးေလ့က်င့္ခန္းတခုမဟုတ္ပါလား။

ဒီေတာ့ ဆုိင္ကယ္ယဥ္ေက်းမႈနဲ႔ အင္တာနက္ယဥ္ေက်းမႈသိပ္ထြန္းကားေနတဲ့ က်ေနာ္တုိ႔ တနသာၤရီ တုိင္းကမိတ္ေဆြေတြကို ''ဆိုင္ကယ္ခ်ည္းစီးမေနနဲ႔ စက္ဘီးလဲ စီးၾကပါဦး''။ စက္ဘီးစီးျခင္းက ဆုိင္ ကယ္ စီးတာထက္ က်မ္းမာေရးပိုေကာင္းေစပါတယ္။ အႏၱာရယ္လဲ နည္းပါတယ္။ ''ကေလးေတြကို ေက်ာင္းစာနဲ႔ က်ဳရွင္ခ်ည္းနင္းကန္ပို႔မေနနဲ႔။ ကစားခ်ိန္လဲေပးပါဦး။ ညာဏနဲ႔ကာယဟာ ဟန္ခ်က္ညီဖြံ႔ ျဖိိဳးတုိးတက္ဖို႔လုိတယ္'' လုိ႔ Tour de France စက္ဘီးျပိဳင္ပဲြကာလ အမွတ္တရအျဖစ္ တုိက္တြန္း လုိက္ရပါတယ္။        ။

#BookReview: သူပုန္ေက်ာင္းသားတဦးရဲ့ မာရသြန္ခရီး။




(သူငယ္ခ်င္းတဦးေရးထားတဲ့ စာအုပ္ Review ကိုေတြ႔လုိ႔ ကူးယူေဖၚျပလုိက္ပါတယ္)

ငယ္ငယ္ကေၾကာက္ခဲ႕လူတမ်ိဳး ရွိတယ္။ အဲဒါက "သူပုန္" တဲ႔။ TV ကလာတဲ႔ စစ္ကားေတြထဲမွာ သူပုန္ဆိုတဲ႔ သူေတြက အေတာ္ဆိုးတာ။ အေခၚအေဝၚေတြကလည္း အမ်ိဳးမ်ိဳး ရွိတယ္။ ေရာင္စုံ သူပုန္တဲ႔။ ေသာင္းက်န္းသူတဲ႔။ အဲဒီစကားလုံး က ရြံေၾကာက္ ျဖစ္ေနခဲ႔တာေပါ႔။
.
နည္းနည္း အသက္ၾကီးလာေတာ႕ စာဖတ္ဝါသနာပါလာတယ္။ မဟာေဆြရဲ႕ သူပုန္ၾကီး ဆိုတာကို ဖတ္လိုက္ရေတာ႕ "ေအာ္ သူပုန္ ဆုိတာ ဒါမ်ိဳးကိုလည္း ေခၚပါလား" ဆိုတဲ႔ အသိတခုရခဲ႔တယ္။ လင္းယုန္ေမာင္ေမာင္ရဲ႕ ေခ်ေကြဗားရား ဖတ္လိုက္ရတဲ႔ အခ်ိန္ၾကေတာ႕ သူပုန္ထခ်င္စိတ္ေပၚ ခဲ႔တယ္။ နိုင္ငံျပင္ပေရာက္ေတာ႕ သူပုန္ဆိုတဲ႔သူေတြနဲ႔ ထိေတြ႕လာခဲ႔ရေတာ႕ ေၾသာ္ သူပုန္ဆိုတာလည္း ငါတို႕လုိပါလား လို႕ ေတြးမိတယ္။
.
ဒီအပတ္ သူပုန္နဲ႔ ပတ္သက္ျပီး စာအုပ္တအုပ္လက္ေဆာင္ရတယ္။ အမွန္ေျပာရရင္ ဒီစာအုပ္ ထြက္ထားမွန္းမသိပါဘူး။ စာအုပ္မထြက္ခင္တုန္းကေတာ႕ ဧရာဝတီအြန္လိုင္းမွာ အခန္းဆက္ ေဆာင္းပါးေတြ ဖတ္ဖူးတယ္။ ခက္တာက အြန္လိုင္းမွာ ဖတ္ရင္ အပတ္တိုင္း မဖတ္ျဖစ္ဘူး။ အခုလို စာအုပ္ထြက္ထားေတာ႕မွ တစုတေဝးဖတ္ရတယ္။
.
စာအုပ္က အေတာ္ထူတယ္။ စာမ်က္နွာ ၅၀၀ ေက်ာ္ရွိတယ္။ ဇာတ္လမ္း စတာကေတာ႕ ထားဝယ္ကေပါ႔။ သူက တနသၤာရီတိုင္း လက္ေရႊးစင္ စက္ဘီး သမား။ ျပီးေတာ႕ ၈၈၈၈ အေရးအခင္းကာလမွာ သူ႔ ရြာမွာ အုပ္ခ်ဳပ္ေရး အတြင္းမွူးေပါ႔။ စစ္တပ္က အာဏာသိမ္းေတာ႕ သူတုိ႕ရြာကို စစ္တပ္လိုက္ဖမ္းတဲ႔ ေက်ာင္းသားေတြ ေရာက္လာတယ္။ အဲဒီေက်ာင္းသားေတြကို ေတာထဲ လိုက္ပို႕ေပးရင္းနဲ႔ သူပါေတာခိုျဖစ္သြားတယ္တဲ႔။ "လမ္းၾကံဳ႕လို႕ ေတာခိုလာသူ" လို႕ သူ႕ဘာသာေတာ႕ ေရးထားပါတယ္။ ဒါေပမဲ႔ က်ေနာ္႕ အထင္ေတာ႕ သူကိုယ္တိုင္လည္း သူပုန္စိတ္ရွိလို႕ ခိုခဲ႔တာပါ။
.
ဖတ္ရင္းနဲ႔ စိတ္ထဲမွာ ငါတို႕ငယ္ငယ္က ၾကည္႕တဲ႔ ပါပီမ ကို သတိရတယ္။ ဟိုးတုန္းကတည္း ကေတာ႕ ဒီ ေပၚလစီကားေတြ မဟုတ္မကေတြ ရုိက္မွန္းေတာ႕ သိပါတယ္။ ဒါေပမဲ႔ ပါပီမတို႕ ေတာစခိုတဲ႔အခန္းမွာ စက္ေလွကေလးစီးျပီး သီခ်င္းေလးေတြ ဆိုတာကို စိတ္ထဲ စြဲခဲ႔ဘူးတယ္။။ သူတို႕လိုေတာ႕ ေတာင္ေတြ ထမင္းမစားျဖတ္ရတာလည္း မပါဘူး။ လမ္းမေလွ်ာက္နိုင္လို႕ ထမ္းေခၚရတာလည္း မပါဘူး။
.
တခ်ိဳ႕အခန္းေတြ ဖတ္ရင္း ရင္နစ္ရတယ္။ နားနားဖတ္ရတယ္။ ကိုယ္လည္း နိုင္ငံျခားတိုင္းျပည္မွာ ပင္ပင္ပန္းပန္း အလုပ္လုပ္ဖူးပါတယ္။ ဒါေပမဲ႔ သူတို႕လို ဒုကၡမ်ိဳးေတြ မၾကံဳ႕ဖူးဘူး။ ေပးဆပ္လိုက္ ရတာေတြက မနည္းပါဘူး။ ဘဝေတြ၊ အသက္ေတြ၊ ေျခလက္ေတြ အစုံပါပဲ။ တခ်ိဳ႕က ဒီသမိုင္းေတြကို ေမးမွိန္သြားေအာင္ အမ်ိဳးအမ်ိဳး ၾကိဳးစားေနၾက တယ္။ ေတာ္လွန္ေရး တိုင္းဟာ ေက်ာင္းသားကစတယ္တဲ႔။ လက္ကိုင္တိုက္တာ မွန္တယ္ မွားတယ္ဆိုတာနဲ႔ သူတို႕ရဲ႕ ယုံၾကည္ခ်က္ကို ရဲရဲလိုက္ခဲ႔ၾကတယ္။
.
ဒီေက်ာင္းသားေတာ္လွန္ေရး သမိုင္းဆိုတာ ေဖ်ာက္ခ်င္တိုင္း လည္း ေဖ်ာက္လို႕ ရတာမွ မဟုတ္တာ ။ေဒါက္တာသန္းထြန္းေျပာခဲ႕တယ္။ သမိုင္းဆိုတာ မ အ ေအာင္ သင္ရတာတဲ႔။ သူ႕စာအုပ္ဟာလည္း ျမန္မာျပည္ ေတာ္လွန္ေရးသမိုင္းရဲ႕ မွန္ကူကြက္တခုပါ။ ဖတ္လည္း ဖတ္ၾကည္႕သင္႕တယ္။ သိမ္းလည္းသိမ္းထားသင္႕တယ္လို႕ ညႊန္းခ်င္ပါတယ္။
စာအုပ္နာမည္ကေတာ႕ "သူပုန္ေက်ာင္းသားတစ္ဦးရဲ႕ မာရသြန္ခရီး" တဲ႔။ ေရးသူ ထက္ေအာင္ေက်ာ္ပါ။

ေတာ္လွန္ေရးသတင္းသမားတဦးရဲ့ ဒုိင္ယာရီ ၂၀

ရတ္ခ်ပူရီ ေဆးရံုကုိ ေက်ာင္းသားေတြ ၀င္စီးျပန္ျပီ

ရန္သူေဟာင္းေတြနဲ႔လက္ဆဲြနႈတ္ဆက္လုိ႔ေကာင္းတုန္း၊ က်ေနာ္အမွတ္ မမွားဘူးဆုိရင္ ဘန္ေကာက္ မွာက်င္းပတဲ့ အာဆီယံေဒသ ခရီးသြားလာမႈ ဖံံြ႔ၿဖိဳးေရးေဆြးေႏြးပဲြအတြင္း ျမန္မာဟုိတယ္နဲ႔ ခရီး၀န္ႀကီး ကုိ အင္တာဗ်ဳးလုပ္ၿပီး ေနာက္တတရက္ မနက္ေစာေစာမွာ “နန္စူစန္ဖမားေတြက ရတ္ခ်ပူရီေဆး႐ံုကုိ ၀င္ စီးထားျပန္ၿပီ” ဆုိတဲ့သတင္း ထုိင္း TV မွာ စၾကားလုိက္ရတာပါ။

(သံရံုးသိမ္းေက်ာင္းသားေခါင္းေဆာင္ ကုိေဂ်ာ္နီနွင့္ ေဆးရံုသိမ္းေခါင္းေဆာင္ ကုိေဗဒါတုိ႔ကုိ တျခား ၂ ဦးနဲ့အတူ ေတြ႔ရစဥ္)

မနီလြိဳင္က ေက်ာင္းသားေတြနဲ႔ KNU ၿမိတ္-ထား၀ယ္ခရိုင္က သတင္းရပ္ကြက္ေတြကို ဖုန္းဆက္ ေမး ျမန္းေပမယ့္ ဘာမွအတိအက်မရပါ။ ေနာက္ပုိင္းမွ ျပန္သိရတာကေတာ့ ၂၀၀၀ ျပည့္နွစ္ ဇန္န၀ါရီလ ဆန္းပုိင္းကစၿပီး သံရံုးသိမ္းေက်ာင္းသားအဖြဲ႔ေခါင္းေဆာင္ ကိုေဂ်ာ္နီတုိ႔ စြမ္းအားျမင့္ ျမန္မာေက်ာင္း သားစစ္သည္ေတာ္မ်ားအဖြဲ႔ (VBSW) နဲ႔ ဘုရားသခင္တပ္မေတာ္ (God Army) စခန္းရိွရာ ကမာပု ေလာေဒသဆီ န၀တတပ္ေတြက အႀကီးအက်ယ္ ထုိးစစ္ဆင္ခဲ့ေၾကာင္း၊ လက္နက္ႀကီး အလြန္အကြ်ံ သုံးခဲ့ေၾကာင္း၊ တခ်ိန္တည္းမွာပဲ ထုိင္းဘက္ကလည္း သူတုိ႔နယ္ထဲဆုတ္ခြင့္မေပးဘဲ န၀တ နဲ႔ေပါင္းၿပီး တုိက္တဲ့ သေဘာေတာင္ရွိခဲ့တယ္လို႔ နယ္စပ္ေနသူေတြက ေျပာပါတယ္။

22 Years of DVB. ၂၂ နွစ္သား DVB အမွတ္တရာမ်ား...။



TELLING BURMA’S STORY FOR TWENTY YEARS

(www.dvb.no)

In July 19, 2012, the DVB turned twenty. There have been many ups and downs over those two decades, but we are proud to say that we have not only survived but also managed to become Burma’s most popular privately-run satellite TV station. We think that is worth a book to let people know how it all began, and how we grew. And we hope that people in other parts of the world would also be able to learn from our success as well as our mistakes.

But producing this book cannot be done without your participation. The DVB has always been the voice of the people of Burma, and we would also like to engage your help in celebrating our twentieth anniversary. We intend to post chapters of the book on this website, gradually to give you time to read them and contemplate what we have written. Then we would like to invite you to submit your own input. Is there anything that you think is weak, misleading or outright wrong in our account of the DVB’s history? Any events which need to be included, any important individual that we have overlooked but who should be mentioned?

We are also looking for photographs of the DVB’s various activities that you may have in your possession and would want to share with us. We cannot offer you any payment for this, but, if you wish, we will certainly include your name in the list of contributors to our book. You can also remain anonymous, if that is what you want.

Please send us your contributions, criticisms and other comments — and whatever pictures you may have — using the form below.

Bertil Lintner compiled and edited this book.







1. HOW IT ALL BEGAN

It was not the first time a group of Burmese set up a radio station to provide an alternative to the official, state-run broadcasting service. But it was clear that the potential was different when the Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB) first went on air on July 19,1992. Previously, various rebel groups had run their own clandestine radio stations. The Communist Party of Burma inaugurated its People’s Voice of Burma in March 1971, first transmitting from across the border in China and later via a new facility in the Wa Hills in northeastern Shan State. In the 1970s, non-communist anti-government forces allied with former prime minister U Nu maintained a radio station in the jungle somewhere along the Thai border in the east, but its broadcasts were irregular and the reception extremely poor. Karen rebels also had a transmitter for a short while in the early 1980s, but it fell silent when government forces began attacking their bases on the Thai border in 1983.

From the very beginning, the DVB was headquartered in safety in far-away Norway, and it was under the direct control of no particular armed resistance group. During the first years of its existence, however, the DVB was not free from interference from ethnic rebel armies based on the Thai border, especially the Karen National Union (KNU) whose headquarters housed the DVB’s first studio inside Burma. When it first started, the DVB also represented the National Coalition Government of the Union of Burma (NCGUB), which was made up of MPs who had been elected in the May 1990 general election, but who were then prevented from forming a new government and forced into exile.

But all that changed as the DVB gained experience and became more professional. In 2002, DVB broadcasts ceased mention of the station’s affiliation with the NCGUB, and, in 2006, officially declared its independence. The DVB became a properly registered Norwegian foundation, based in Oslo and subject to Norwegian laws. The DVB thus gained full editorial and administrative independence and its board members served in an individual capacity, not as representatives of any political group or faction.
By then, the DVB had also set up its own satellite TV station. It had gone into operation in 2005, and become an instant success wherever it could be received inside Burma.

2. HOW IT GREW

The DVB may be unique in many ways, but the Burmese broadcasters in Oslo did not, historically speaking, start from scratch when they launched it in 1992. Burma has actually a long and proud tradition of a free media. The country’s first newspaper, the English-language Maulmain Chronicle, appeared in 1836 in the city of Moulmein in then British-held Tenasserim. It was followed in 1853 by the Rangoon Chronicle. The first Burmese-language newspaper, Yadana-bon Nay-pyi-daw (with the heading “Mandalay Gazette” in English on the front page) was established in Mandalay in independent Burma in 1874 as the official organ of the kingdom.

The year before the launch of the paper, King Mindon enacted a law consisting of 17 articles to guarantee freedom of the press stating that the media is for “the benefit of the citizens to hear general news from Europe, India, China, and Siam for enriching the thoughts and improving their trade and communication.” This act is believed to be Southeast Asia’s first indigenous press freedom law.

At an official meeting at the palace in Mandalay, the king also bestowed immunity on the local press corps: “If I do wrong, write about me. If the queens do wrong, write about them. If my sons and daughters do wrong, write about them. If the judges and mayors do wrong, write about them. No one shall take action against the journalists for writing the truth. They shall go in and out of the palace freely.”

During the British colonial period, which lasted until independence in 1948, Burma had dozens of newspapers in Burmese, English, Chinese, and several Indian languages. Periodicals were also printed in Burma’s minority languages. Among the most outspoken newspapers—which lent support to the Burmese nationalist movement—were the Burmese language Thuriya (the Sun) and Myanma Alin (the New Light of Burma). The latter was founded in 1914 and for years it was managed by U Tin, who became a minister in independent Burma’s first government, led by U Nu, in 1948.

Burma’s rapid media development in the 19th and 20th centuries can best be explained against the background of its rich intellectual traditions. The country has always had a high literacy rate and education has been a source of national pride since pre-colonial days. At the age of seven or eight, every Burmese boy was sent to the local monastery to learn to read, and write, and to memorise Buddhist chants and Pali formulas used in pagoda worship. Education was less universal for girls but, even so, the census for Burma in 1872 stated that “female education was a fact in Burma before Oxford was founded.” This long and strong tradition of widespread literacy was further enhanced with the introduction of British-style education during the colonial era.

3. THE DVB GOES TELEVISUAL

In early 2005, DVB decided to take a bold step, which no non-governmental media organisation in Burma, and perhaps in the world, had ever done before: to launch its own satellite television station. Many were sceptical and thought the idea was too ambitious and some even said it was unrealistic. Short-wave radio was one thing, but television? But Burmese journalists in exile in Norway and Thailand were determined to make it work. A young couple, Tin Ko Ko and Sandar Lin, who had some experience of working for Myawady Television, a military-run television network based in Rangoon whose entertainment programmes were quite popular, took part and shared their experiences with some of the Burmese who previously had worked only with DVB radio. DVB TV would probably never have been as successful as it has become without the hard work that Tin Ko Ko and Sandar Lin put in during its first year of operation. Additional training was provided by professional cameramen and news anchors from AsiaWorks Television, a leading independent media company based in Bangkok.

In May 2005, the trainees were ready—and the DVB began telecasting from London via satellite. The timing was perfect. DVB TV was launched when Burmese were beginning to have the possibility of having satellite dishes to receive international TV stations. At first, people could buy satellite dishes but they had to be registered through a cumbersome process. But despite the rigidity of the laws surrounding the possession of satellite dishes, sales exploded in the early 2000s. Officially, 200,000 people registered their equipment during the first years of satellite TV access in the country, while many more dishes were acquired on the black market. The number of people watching international stations was even higher as many tea- and coffee shop owners had satellite TV services installed in their establishments to attract customers. It became an instant success, which ushered in a new era in the Burmese media landscape.

DVB TV was popular from the very beginning, but the main breakthrough came when the monks’ movement swept across Burma in September 2007. The DVB’s clandestine network of reporters and stringers covered the events from the very beginning, deploying both old and new media to inform the people in Burma about the uprising. DVB reporters shot footage on hidden digital cameras and sent it over the border to the DVB office in Thailand, or over the Internet to headquarters in Norway. Photographs and video footage shot by DVB reporters and even ordinary citizens on mobile phones were also uploaded onto the Web and sent to Oslo headquarters, which, in turn, edited the material into radio and television reports to be broadcast back into Burma.

While DVB’s shortwave radio and satellite TV broadcasts reached a significant portion of the population in Burma, it was the first time the Internet—and blogs—played a crucial role in broad and timely reporting of a major event inside the country. Bloggers, who were in touch with the DVB, found innovative ways to circumvent government restrictions and to send out updates throughout the protests. Meanwhile, the DVB made its coverage available on the Web, where it was picked up by the BBC, CNN, Deutsche Welle, Al Jazeera and other international news networks. Even when Burma’s only two Internet service providers were disabled between September 29 and October 4, 2007 at the height of the protests, DVB reporters on the ground were able to send their coverage to Oslo via their own satellite hook-up.

All along, the DVB cooperated closely with international news agencies and television networks as none could match its network on the ground in Burma. Reporters Without Borders stated in a November 2010 report: “Representatives of the three leading international news agencies, the Associated Press, Reuters and Agence France-Presse, representatives of three international TV stations, the BBC, France 24 and Al Jazeera, and a dozen journalists and international production companies confirmed to Reporters Without Borders that they had used the DVB’s help in covering the situation in Burma. The forms of assistance have ranged from access to its archives, use of its video for international distribution, preparation and production of a report, putting the international media in contact with members of its network in Burma or Thailand, or just providing information.”

4. NOT ONLY HARD NEWS AND HOT SCOOPS

Like all other radio (and TV) stations in the world, the DVB has all along also offered its listeners and viewers not only news, scoops, political debates and analyses but also songs, music and other kinds of entertainment. And like everything else with the DVB, its entertainment programmes started on a very modest scale and, like its other broadcasts in the beginning, the tune was very political. Students in rebel camps along the eastern border recorded their songs on tapes which were mailed to Norway from post offices in Thailand. Other songs were recorded inside Burma or in exile, such as Ma Ma Aye’s very popular number about a man who had left his home village for his beliefs in justice. Listeners could draw parallels with the students who had gone to the border to take up arms against Burma’s then military government.

Other popular songs were old patriotic jingles from World War II and the independence movement, while the famous Kachin singer Dennis Mun Awng’s songs about more contemporary subjects were also well-liked, especially among the young. Born in Kachin State in 1960, Mun Awng first became popular in the 1980s. He joined the August 1988 uprising and was among those thousands of dissidents who fled to the Thai-Burmese border after the crackdown on September 18 and the formation of the State Law and Order Restoration Council, SLORC. Five years later, in 1993, he arrived in Norway to begin working for the DVB.

With singers like Mun Awng on the air, the popularity of the DVB’s entertainment programmes increased and listeners also began sending in their requests for songs they wanted to hear. Another singer and also actress, May Sweet, was also popular but her melodies were considerably less political. She left Burma for the United States in the late 1990s, married a Burmese-American from New York and settled in Delaware. But she continues to perform for Burmese expatriate audiences around the world. The DVB’s entertainment editor, Thida Thin Myat Thu, acted as Master of Ceremonies when May Sweet gave a concert in London ten years ago.

Programmes playing requested songs, however, served another purpose than broadcasting popular songs just for the sake of entertainment. Following the 1988 uprising and subsequent upheavals, many families were separated and people who had been friends in the cities and towns lost touch with each other. Parents requested songs for their children, and children who had made it to third countries as refugees requested songs for their mothers and fathers to let them know where they were. Boyfriends requested songs for lost girlfriends and vice versa. Many people were reconnected in this way, and the DVB also helped them re-establish contact with each other.

While Burmese singers, whether political or not, made it possible for the DVB to reach a wider audience, the broadcasting station in Oslo also helped some in their careers. One of them is Lashio Thein Aung, who lives in Texas and was very popular in the 1970s. The DVB can claim credit for re-discovering him and bringing him back to the Burmese music scene. In 2005, the DVB contacted him and he was happy to be able to sing for his own home audience again. Lashio Thein Aung can claim to be Burma’s only genuine Texas cowboy and country and western singer - and the response from listeners was overwhelming when the DVB began broadcasting his songs. Today, his various performances are also available on YouTube, among them his tribute to Aung San Suu Kyi on her 65th birthday:

He sang Ahmay Ta Khu Thar Ta Khu (A Dedicated Song to Mom) and Mone Mone Mae Mae (Are You Leaving Me Alone?), songs from the 1970s, on stage in the United States against a backdrop of National League for Democracy (NLD) and US national flags, a Buddhist banner - and a portrait of Aung San Suu Kyi. Lashio Thein Aung himself, sporting an embroidered black shirt and a cowboy hat, drew thunderous applause from his enthusiastic audience.

For a younger audience, the DVB became a platform for more modern singing styles such as rap and hip-hop. Young Burmese were quick to embrace rap and hip-hop - perhaps because the style was quite akin to traditional Burmese thangyat. Also sung in a staccato manner and often with a satirical message, thangyat has been performed for centuries during thingyan, or Buddhist New Year, which falls in mid-April.

After the 1988 uprising especially, thangyat became a way in which many Burmese could express their frustrations with political hardships as well as economic difficulties, often in a humorous manner. Perhaps not surprisingly, the authorities banned thangyat when thingyan was celebrated, although in April 2012 it was permitted once again. Among the thangyat performers in Mandalay in 2012 were the popular Moustache Brothers, a trio of local comedians - Pa Pa Lay, U Lu Zaw, and Lu Maw – distinguished by their impressive whiskers.

The DVB’s news service on the web reported on April 12, 2012:
“Thangyat performances, a traditional music that accompanies New Year’s Thingyan Water Festival, is now legal in Burma.

The historic art is a cornerstone in the country’s New Year celebrations, where singers dance and engage in “call and response” anthems, while joking about the events of the past year. However, Thangyat performances had been officially suppressed for three decades by several laws that were aimed at preventing citizens from assembling and chanting slogans. Mandalay-based writer Sue Hngat says Thingyan and Thangyat are inseparable: “It’s been over 30 years – Thingyan and Thangyat are the two things that cannot be separated because Thingyan is for the people and it should be free for all and should not be monopolised by any individual or a group. This also applies to Thangyat to an extent,” To celebrate its return, Mandalay-based comedian Pa Pa Lay of the Moustache Brothers said the group will perform Thangyat songs on a float during the parades in Mandalay. According to the moustached comedian, the troupe will perform satirical numbers that address the country’s education, health, economy and judicial sectors. “The people of Mandalay have been waiting to hear Thangyat again so Pa Pa Lay is organising the performance together with his other comedian friends,” said Lu Maw, Pa Pa Lay’s brother and fellow moustached brother, Mandalay based writers including Soe Aung, Khin Aung Wint and San Win Shein and some poets are also organising their own Thangyat performances during the festival."

Among the younger hip-hop singers and rappers, MFG, or the Myanmar Future Generation, was more overtly political. They sang about what it’s like to be in prison, why the people should stay united and how younger people can learn from older activists. Some hip-hop artists like Anegga Tweezy and Zayar Thaw, were already popular when the DVB began broadcasting their performances, but the DVB nevertheless helped promote them and gave them an outlet at a time when the government-controlled media refused to play their songs.

5. LESSONS LEARNED AND VISION OF THE FUTURE

This is the chapter where we need your input the most. Only you can tell us what you think has been learned from our twenty years of operation, and what you believe our future should be. We have made a list of mistakes and successes which we think have characterised the development of the DVB since its inception in 1992. We hope this will be a good start, and encourage you to send us your thoughts and comments. We would appreciate it if you could elaborate on the points below.

Mistakes

1. DVB started with a loose structure and poor equipment, and the first broadcasters lacked journalistic skills.
2. Also in the beginning, we did not get much feedback from listeners, and, on our part, we did not conduct proper listener surveys and do other research that was needed to improve the quality of our broadcasts.
3. We lacked training in professional journalism.
4. In the early years, we failed to recruit professional media persons to work with us.
5. In the beginning, there were also too many stakeholders and political factions that tried to influence, and even control, our broadcasts.
6. Thus, it was several years before we could become independent. There was also too much secrecy surrounding our work, and almost no transparency in our operations.
7. The signal was very weak.
8. It has been difficult to work effectively because we have had operations in Burma as well as in Thailand and Norway. It has not always been easy to coordinate the efforts of our various operational sites.
9. The funding was very uncertain in the beginning, and we are still almost totally dependent on international donors.
10. We have had no proper plan for generating income and becoming financially independent.

Successes

1. There has always been a strong commitment on the part of our employees and volunteers. Everyone has been ready to work under circumstances which often have been extremely difficult.
2. We have always been flexible and willing to adopt changes.
3. Our bureaucracy has been minimal compared to other, commercially-run media organisations.
4. Our operations have always been very cost effective.
5. A major asset has been the fact that we have different outlets: radio, TV and the web.
6. We have also been quick to acquire and use modern technology.
7. We have had tremendous support from loyal listeners and viewers inside the country. This has made it easy for our extensive network of reporters inside the country to gather news and other information.
8. In fact, listeners have felt that they “own” the DVB; it’s “their” broadcasting station and “their” TV.
9. Unlike other broadcasting stations, the DVB has always been run exclusively by people of various nationalities from Burma. That has also given us a multi-ethnic profile that most other broadcasting stations lack.
10. As soon as we became independent of political factions, we were able to work together with international media organisations - for our mutual benefit.

A RADIO AND A BOOK

If asked, when leaving this world, what I would like to take with me, I would answer without hesitation: a radio and a book to read. That is the present day situation. In the past, apart from school textbooks, I didn't know what radio was, let alone read novels from the book shelves.
Only on 19 July 1947, did I first hear the word “radio”
While rice was being prepared for breakfast, Ko Ko Gyi in a highly agitated state and told my father that General Aung San and U Razak were dead. They had been shot. When mother asked where he had heard this news, Ko Ko Gyi answered “I heard it from the radio in U Nyein Maung’s house and people are gathering there.”
Although I knew that radio was something important, I could not imagine what it looked like. There was only one radio in the village.

I have listened to radio

Two years later, we ended up in Bago as war refugees. I heard the sound of a radio a house away. Although I tried to hear it from the window, it wasn’t very clear. “That is the Voice of Burma,” Ko Ko Gyi told me.
The house I lived in had been confiscated by an army artillery battalion and we had to study in a bamboo lean-to constructed at the edge of the school compound. There were clashes about 15 miles away from Bago. The voice of the army still existed and the main speaker was a Major Ba Ko, I was told by adult radio listeners.

I have seen radio

When I was in eighth grade at school, my friend Ba Myint, the son of a wealthy man made rich by the army, took me to his house, where there was a radio. It was reporting on a divisional football match and I heard noisy shouts and laughter. Many people who came to listen also laughed.  When Sagaing goalkeeper Boe Thar Bay caught shots by Shan State’s Vah Doom the listeners clapped and I applauded with them.
Then Ba Myint said that it is good only when listening to songs and I did not agree. In my eye, I only saw beautiful radio and in my ear, I only heard Vaha Doo and Boe Thar Bay.
So my first experience of listening to the radio was happy and amusing.

University and radio

In 1953, I was admitted to Rangoon University with the support of the Muslim Central Fund Trust and stayed in Thaton hostel. I regularly listened to the radio at Thahaya and in reading rooms and heard programmes from the Burma Broadcasting Service, BBS (or myanma athan, the Voice of Burma in Burmese). When the radio was switched off at 8 pm I went with friends to listen in at a tea shop. Foreign broadcasts could be heard frequently at Ta-Ka-Tha building, Although now a keen radio listener, I never once dreamed that I would one day be a broadcaster.

Acceptance at the Burma Broadcasting Service, BBS

0n 17 October 1959, I got a position at BBS as an assistant technician for recording and broadcasting. I wasn’t on the programming staff, so I didn’t work at the studio but at a transmission station using an emergency studio.
You could call it a personal programme of General Ne Win's interim government’s psychological warfare department, using the equipment of the Voice of Burma. Although the BBS’s engineering department appointed us, I was not very pleased with the fact that our salary was paid by the psychological department.

FROM ACTIVIST TO JOURNALIST - 20 Years On (1992-2012)

The DVB was founded by four student activists (three men and a woman) in their early twenties who had never worked in a radio station before. Their studio was a tiny room in a Norwegian NGO office. On a shoestring budget, they had to start broadcasting with only two cassette recorders and a microphone.
The DVB has a unique history and, in the beginning, each day was a struggle. There was no time for apprenticeship until I joined them in 1996 at the invitation of the then director Daw Khin Pyone. There were teething problems and tantrums. Some of the staffers who had no interest in the radio business found themselves in a situation that they had not intended. During this crucial period, the present DVB director was able to attend a journalism course in the Welsh city of Cardiff.

Since then it, has become almost customary for the DVB to send its newsroom staff to the Cardiff School of Journalism. This broke new ground and set the DVB apart from the programs offered by the major international broadcasting stations, where scripting was done by English speaking central staff who were typically less familiar with the local conditions in the countries to which they were broadcasting.  By early 1997, the DVB was able to set up its own five-room office with a soundproofed studio in the basement of The Triangle Hotel in Oslo.

We worked from dawn to dusk, earning only a paltry sum. Since it was like a big family, we also had a fair share of family quarrels. But we all were happy. I found myself doing a job that I really enjoyed while my dependable wife took care of our home in London. She was my rock. Had it not been for her my sojourn in Oslo would have been out of the question. I was in Oslo for two years and worked from London as a consultant for a further four years.

One of the most important aspects of the DVB’s development from an amateur to professional level was the transformation of the routine news bulletin. While starting subscribing to Reuters and AFP news agencies, the DVB was able to develop its own house style during this phase.  Most of the DVB journalists had started as “stringers"”who faxed the Oslo newsroom their reports on the events in the area they covered. Their material was written up for the news readers to deliver but their voices were never heard on the air. In fact, the DVB's daily 25 minute broadcast was constructed around news output, with about a half of its daily transmission time taken up with news, news analysis, and commentaries.

Although the DVB has always recognized the importance of the regular announcers in providing a 'spine' to the daily program, some of the DVB broadcasters have become all-rounders because of a shortage of skilled manpower.  Thus, a DVB broadcaster could be an editor, a producer, a newsreader, a presenter and a reporter all rolled into one.

Soon, the station began broadcasting in some ethnic languages. The DVB also functioned as a surrogate free radio, giving dissident organizations outlets for their views which unavailable in any other forum.  In the early days, the DVB programs were occasionally jammed by the SLORC military regime.  Later the military regime seemed to have put more emphasis upon its own broadcasting business than upon jamming the broadcasts of others, having realized that jamming was expensive, rarely effective and merely made people want to listen to what was so important as to merit being censored in this way.

During this period a network of freelancers, stringers and reporters was established, along with the DVB regional bureaus in India and Thailand.  It was found that the DVB had brought new challenges and new opportunities to many young activists. They now knew how to place greater emphasis on the professional journalistic values of factual and impartial reporting and on separating news from commentary and advocacy. The DVB website was also created during this period and one young woman was sent to London on a DVB scholarship to study computer science for a year.

SCOOP!!

One of the DVB’s most controversial - and celebrated - documentaries was “Burma’s Nuclear Ambition”. It created a sensation when it was aired in June 2010 by television news network al-Jazeera. A US congressman, Jim Webb, had to postpone his planned visit to Burma, questions were raised in Washington, and wires services all over the world did reports based on the DVB’s investigations. In the end, the controversy prompted even the Burmese government to announce that it has abandoned its nuclear programme, and stopped buying military-related equipment from North Korea, as shown in these two reports from 2012. However, the Reuters dispatch from Singapore says that some reports had suggested that Burma had obtained nuclear technology from North Korea; the DVB never made that claim in the documentary. The DVB showed how the Burmese military had sent officers for training in nuclear-related subjects in Russia, and said that parts of their missile programme and conventional weapons came from North Korea.

Myanmar abandons nuclear research: defense minister
SINGAPORE (Reuters) 2.06.12 - Myanmar has abandoned research on a nuclear program that never progressed very far, and has stepped back from close military and political ties with North Korea, the Southeast Asian country's defense minister said on Saturday.News reports two years ago indicated Myanmar obtained technology for enriching uranium from North Korea along with parts for a nuclear weapons program. The reports were based on interviews with an army major who was involved in the program and defected with files he said documented the project. "We have already said very clearly it was not for defense, it was not for weapons, it was just research in the past," the defense minister, Lieutenant General Hla Min, said at the Shangri-La Dialogue, an annual security forum in Singapore attended by senior regional civilian and military leaders.

South Korea: Myanmar Pledges To Stop Buying North’s Weapons
By CHOE SANG-HUN. AP. 15.06.12 - South Korea has received assurances from Myanmar that it will no longer buy weapons from North Korea, an aide to President Lee Myung-bak said Tuesday. President Thein Sein of Myanmar acknowledged that his country had bought conventional weapons from the North over the past 20 years but vowed in a meeting with Mr. Lee in the Burmese capital on Monday to end the practice, said the aide, Kim Tae-hyo. Mr. Thein Sein also indicated Tuesday that Myanmar had not pursued the development of nuclear arms and vowed to honor a United Nations Security Council resolution that bans countries from activities that could assist North Korea’s missile programs, Mr. Kim said.

DVB HEROES

THE DVB’S HALL OF FAME: HONOURING THOSE WHOSE DEDICATION TO TELLING THE WORLD THE TRUTH ABOUT BURMA SHOULD BE REMEMBERED
Over the years, many DVB journalists have been arrested by the authorities simply for reporting news to the Burmese public and the outside world. We cannot disclose all of them because several were working undercover for the DVB, but we would like to honour five of our journalists whose cases were taken up by international human rights and press freedom advocacy groups and, therefore, their association with the DVB became known.
Hla Hla Win, alias Doe Doe
Gender: Female
Date of birth: August 29, 1984
Ethnicity: Burmese
Religion: Buddhist
Education: University, 2nd year Economics Occupation: DVB video journalist teacher
Arrested: September 11, 2009
Sentenced: December 21, 2009; 27 years. Was kept in Kathar prison, northeastern Sagaing Region
Released: January 13, 2012
Hla Hla Win was first arrested in September 2009, close to the anniversary of the 2007 monk-led uprising, and sentenced to seven years imprisonment. She had been detained under the Import/Export Act for using an unregistered motorbike. The arrest took place as she was returning from a DVB reporting assignment in Pakokku township, Magwe division, where she had conducted interviews with Buddhist monks in a local monastery.

Her assistant, Myint Naing, was also arrested, and eventually given a 26-year sentence. During the first weeks of her seven year sentence, she was interrogated and eventually admitted to being a DVB reporter. On December 20, 2009  her jail term was extended by 20 years for violating the Electronics Act, which prohibits downloading or uploading data from the internet that is considered damaging to the security of the military regime. This is a tactic often used by the regime to imprison video reporters. She was handed a further 20 years and offered no legal representative. Hla Hla Win first joined the DVB as an undercover reporter in December 2008. She played an active role in covering issues considered sensitive to the government, including the local reaction to the controversial trial in 2009 of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.

In 2010, Hla Hla Win received the Kenji Nagai Memorial Award, along with fellow DVB reporter Win Maw, an honour bestowed on Burmese journalists in memory of the Japanese photojournalist shot and killed by government troops while covering the September 2007 monk-led uprising. She was also a volunteer teacher working in monastic education centres, and a leading organiser of community movements along with her colleagues. She was also an active member of the NLD (Youth) from Thanhyin township in Rangoon.

Win Maw alias Mawgyi, Japan Gyi, Ko Shwe
Gender: Male
Date of birth: September 5, 1962
Ethnicity: Burmese
Religion: Buddhist
Education: University, 2nd year
Occupation: DVB, video journalist, musician and composer
Arrested: November 27, 2007
Sentenced: November 11, 2008/March 5, 2009; 17 years. Was kept in Kyaukphyu prison, Arakan State.
Released: January 13, 2012

In March 2009, award-winning journalist Win Maw was sentenced to 10 years in jail. He was already 18 months into a seven-year sentence on charges of breaching the Immigration Act when the additional decade was added. During a raid on his house in early 2009 whilst he was detained, police had found disk full of data destined for DVB. They then begun an investigation into his activities as a VJ. His family said that he was beaten and tortured during the early stages of his detention, with interrogators reportedly “waterboarding” him and breaking his nose.  The authorities accused him of being the “mastermind” behind the DVB’s in-country news coverage of the September 2007 monk-led uprising. His jail term was subsequently extended under the Electronics Act, which allows for harsh prison sentences for using electronic media to send information outside the country without government approval. A prominent singer and songwriter, Win Maw began working for the DVB in 2003, one year after he was released from his first spell in prison for composing pro-democracy songs. He has also composed music for the DVB, as well as passing on photos and videos from opposition groups such as the NLD and 88 Generation Students. He took part in many of their campaigns and activities as an organizer on top of his role as a DVB reporter.
Win Maw, who was held in Kyaukphyu prison in Burma’s western Arakan state, received the Imprisoned Artist Prize in 2008, the Kenji Nagai Memorial Award in 2010 along with another arrested DVB reporter Hla Hla Win, and the prestigious Freedom to Create award for jailed artists in 2011.

Ngwe Soe Lin alias Htun Kyaw, “T”
Gender: Male
Date of birth: May 26, 1981
Ethnicity: Burmese
Religion: Buddhist
Education: High school
Occupation: DVB video journalist
Arrested: June 26, 2009
Sentenced: January 27, 2010; 13 years. Was kept in Insein prison, Rangoon
Released: January 13, 2012

Ngwe Soe Lin was arrested by military intelligence on June 26, 2009 along with a friend in an internet café in Rangoon. After spending several weeks at the Aungthabyay interrogation centre, he was sent to Insein prison. Seven months later, on January 27, 2010, a special military court attached to Insein prison sentenced him to 13 years in prison on charges related to the Electronics and Immigration Acts. The following month, on February 18, he was sent to Lashio prison in northern Shan state. Ngwe Soe Lin joined the DVB in early 2008 and reported from around the country. He played a vital role in recording the lives of children left orphaned by cyclone Nargis in 2008. His video records were turned into a Channel 4 documentary, “Orphans of Burma’s Cyclone”, for which he received the prestigious Rory Peck Award 2009, honouring cameramen working in dangerous environments. He was awarded this whilst in detention.

Sithu Zeya alias Sargalay
Gender: Male
Date of birth: January 16, 1990
Ethnicity: Burmese
Religion: Buddhist
Education: Bachelor degree, university
Occupation: DVB video journalist
Arrested: April 14, 2010
Sentenced: December 21, 2010; 8 years; then 10 more years on November 7, 2011.
Was kept in Insein prison, Rangoon, and in Henzada prison, Irrawaddy Region - Released: January 13, 2012

In April 2010, a series of grenade blasts rocked Rangoon during tingyan, the traditional New Year water festival. Sithu Zeya photographed images of the aftermath from a location near the banks of Kandawgyi Lake in Rangoon. The 21-year-old was arrested shortly after, and interrogated for five days. During this period he was tortured and denied food for two days, and in December 2010 sentenced to eight years imprisonment under the Immigration Act and Unlawful Association Act. The verdict on Sithu Zeya’s case was based on informal confessions resulting from the torture he suffered during interrogation. His charges stem from the Burmese government’s press laws, which targeted media workers judged to have passed on material to exiled news outlets. Sithu Zeya was forced to reveal under torture that his father, U Zeya, also served as an undercover DVB reporter. U Zeya is now serving a 13-year sentence. Sithu Zeya was sentenced to an additional ten years in prison on November 7, 2011, a few days after an amnesty that saw 230 political prisoners released. However, he was released ion January 13, 2012.

Maung Maung Zeya alias U Zeya, Ko Hnyat Kyee
Gender: Male
Date of birth: November 24, 1953
Ethnicity: Burmese
Religion: Buddhist
Education: University graduate
Occupation: DVB writer, artist
Arrested: April 16, 2010
Sentenced: February 6, 2011; 13 years. Was kept in Hsipaw prison, Shan State
Released: January 13, 2012
U Zeya was arrested at his home in Rangoon on April 16, 2010, shortly after his son Sithu Zeya had been arrested for taking photos of the water festival bombings in Rangoon. Sithu had reportedly confessed to his father being a DVB reporter after days of torture. The father had led a team of DVB VJs inside Burma. His lawyer said after the trial that the only witnesses in the closed prison court were police. The trial ended in February 2011 and he was sentenced to 13 years in prison under the Immigration Act, Unlawful Associations Act, and Electronics Act. First arrested in 1976 for participating in a students’ strike, U Zeya has a long history of political activism. Under the pen name Thargyi Maung Zeya, he has also written poems and articles in a number of Burmese magazines and journals.

Last week in Norway for Burma's radio
Published 2 hours ago - 132 Views Post

Media House Democratic Voice of Burma has her last week in Oslo. Since 1992, they sent uncensored news to the country of Norway . Now they travel home .

Why has Norway and Burma so closely linked ? Why Norway was the first country outside Asia as Aung San Suu Kyi visited after she was released ? The main reason is of course the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. A close second is the radio station Democratic Voice of Burma. The radio station has sent uncensored news to Burma since 1992 , and has long since become a media of television , radio and internet. For 21 years they produced broadcasts from Oslo. They have helped to create a unique interest in Burma in Norway . That they have now opened an office in Yangon in Burma is an indicator that the reforms have allowed for media and independent organizations in Burma. It is too early to determine whether reforms in Burma actually ends in a real democracy and freedom of expression ensures that the media's right to criticize without fear of reprisal . But the last three years has made the DVB took a chance . The main office is now in Thailand, but the media house has an office in Burma, which is growing . The dream has always been to return home and become a media in Burma for his people . Today this dream close to fruition.

Before 1991, Norway and Burma little in common . Norway was the first Secretary General of the UN. Burma had the third. A historical curiosity is that the Norwegian-registered vessel Hai Lee brought Aung San from Rangoon to China 1940. The journey finally ended in Japan, which is considered the starting point of the Burmese struggle for independence from the British colonists . The relationship between Norway and Burma took a new course when Rafto Prize in 1990 was awarded the liberation hero's daughter, Aung San Suu Kyi , who after demonstrations in 1988 quickly became the foremost symbol of democracy and human rights in Burma. Nobel Committee went on to award her the Nobel Peace Prize the following year, after intense lobbying from Burma Committee and Rafostiftelsen , with Vaclav Havel as a good ally. In the course of six years, the Norwegian authorities , in close cooperation with Burma Committee and Worldview got a Burmese radio station on the legs . The importance of this work can hardly be overestimated .

The history of radio station Democratic Voice of Burma is worth a few lines . It is worth a book. The radio station was through an intense collaboration between Burma Committee Hallvard Kare Kuloy , Worldview International's Arne Fjørtoft and Ministry of Foreign Affairs Jan Egeland . Broadcast Manager at NRK, Einar Forde, was asked to spare a few frequencies to the Burmese news channel to send Burmese news via shortwave from Kvitsøy outside Stavanger. The case had up at government level for a clarification. Burmese students were in a short time course in journalism in the border area between Thailand and Burma. Four young Burmese were flown to Oslo to establish the channel, and came in contact with one of the very few Burmese living in Norway . The start was partly financed by loans from the owner of Texburger , where Maung Maung Myint worked part-time , and student loans from the same Burmese dentistry student. The budget was 21 000. 19th July 1992 DVB went on air for the first time. Recorded tapes were sent by mail to Kvitsøy outside Stavanger, and arrived just in time for the first radio broadcast. The entire process , from idea to broadcast , it took more than half a year, which must be unique in Norwegian administrative history.

To run a news channel depending on the postal service in Norway is of course a challenge. The news may at times be read before they happened , and sometimes went wrong . In 1993, the regime launched a constitution preparatory meeting , but immediately chose to delay the process indefinitely . DVB had already recorded the novelty of Oslo and the program was headed in the postal service . What do you do when the news turned out to vote ? Reporters jumped on the first flight to Stavanger , overtook postal service , and managed to correct the pre-recorded element . A local technician hint about how the Burmese reporters could turn on the phones , and send transmissions via phone . Creative engineering meant that it is now able to produce broadcasts after the news happened , not before. There was a small revolution , several years before verdensvevens age.

There have been many dark years since 1992. To listen to DVB in Burma was until recently strictly prohibited and punishable by imprisonment . Journalists in Burma have risked everything to disseminate news about what actually happened in one of the world's most brutal dictatorships . Under Safranrevolusjonene in 2007 , which was led by Burmese monks were journalists from DVB documenting how the regime put down on peaceful demonstrators , with lives at stake . There are only six years ago. No one should believe that the struggle for democracy has ended. The road to democracy has just begun . The reforms are the result of DVB and other brave frihetselskeres struggle for democracy. DVB need all the support they can get to continue to be an alternative to propaganda . It is alive and well . To create a democratic culture, and real freedom of the press , take time in a country that is used to let the weapons do the talking . The new media law limits the scope for cross- publish content on television, radio and online . Media freedom for newspapers is of course very important, but so is the radio and television that reaches out to people across the country. Democratic Voice of Burma has never been more important and never been vulnerable. Thus continued support has never been more critical.

At the Burmese journalists now heading to Burma gives reason for hope , while it is a little sad to lose a key vote in Burmese Norwegian public. DVB is a product of Norwegian support for the Nobel Peace Prize. Meanwhile, much of the Norwegian Burma involvement resulting from DVB . So thank you for 21 great years in Norway and good trip to Burma. It is now the beginning .

ေတာ္လွန္ေရးသတင္းသမားတဦးရဲ့ ဒုိင္ယာရီ (၁၉)

ရန္သူေဟာင္းမ်ားနွင့္ လက္ဆဲြနႈတ္ဆက္ျခင္း

ျမန္မာၿငိမ္းခ်မ္းေရးစင္တာ (MPC) က ဦးစီးျပီး စစ္ဗုိလ္ေတြနဲ႔ သူပုန္ဗုိလ္ေတြ ေန႔စဥ္လုိလုိ လက္ဆြဲနႈတ္ ဆက္ေနတဲ့အခုေခတ္မွာ ရန္သူနဲ႔ လက္ဆဲြနႈတ္ဆက္တယ္ဆုိတာဟာ အထူးအ ဆန္း မဟုတ္ေတာ့ပါဘူး။ ဒါေပမယ့္ လြန္ခဲ့တဲ့ ဆယ္စုနွစ္တခုေက်ာ္၊ ၂၀၀၀ ခုနွစ္၀န္းက်င္ကဆုိရင္ေတာ့ ဒါမ်ဳိး လုပ္တာဟာ ေတာ္လွန္ေရး အေပၚသစၥာေဖာက္မႈ၊ အေတြးအေခၚအရ ေဖာက္ျပန္မႈႀကီးျဖစ္ပါတယ္။ စစ္ အစိုးရဘက္က ဗုိလ္ခ်ဳပ္ေတြ၊ ၀န္ႀကီးေတြ၊ အစိုးရ၀န္ထမ္းေတြနဲ႔ လက္ဆဲြနႈတ္ဆက္ဖုိ႔မေျပာနဲ႔ အစိုးရ ဘက္က ထုတ္ေ၀ေနတဲ့ ျမန္မာ့ အလင္းသတင္းစာကို ဖတ္မိရင္ေတာင္ ဒီေကာင္ေတာ့ ''ရန္သူ႔အေတြး အေခၚ ၀င္ေနၿပီနဲ႔တူတယ္'' ဆုိၿပီး အေျပာခံရတတ္တဲ့ အေျခေနမ်ဳိးပါ။

အဲဒီတကၠသိုလ္ဘုန္းနုိင္ဆုိတာ က်ေနာ္အလြန္ေလးစားရတဲ့ စာေရးဆရာႀကီးျဖစ္တဲ့အျပင္ ၁၉၈၇ စက္ တင္ဘာ ေငြစကၠဴအေရးခင္းနဲ႔ ၁၉၈၈ မတ္လအေရးခင္းကာလေတြမွာ ေမာ္လၿမိဳင္တကၠသိုလ္ ေက်ာင္း အုပ္ႀကီးအျဖစ္တာ၀န္ထမ္းခဲ့တဲ့ ဆရာဦးခင္ေမာင္တင့္ေပါ့။ ေရွ႕အခန္းတခုမွာ တင္ျပခဲ့တဲ့အတုိင္း အ ေရးခင္း နွစ္ခုစလုံးမွာပါ၀င္မႈနဲ႔ သူရဲ့ရံုးခန္းဆီေခၚၿပီး က်ေနာ္ကုိ သတိေပးမႈလုပ္ခဲ့သူ။ တနည္းအားျဖင့္ ဒီမုိကေရစီလုိလားတဲ့ေက်ာင္းသားေတြကို ဖိနွိပ္တဲ့ စစ္အစိုးရအလိုေတာ္ရိလုပ္ခဲ့သူဆုိၿပီး က်ေနာ္စိတ္ ထဲစြဲေနသူ တဦးေပါ့။
