31st Anniversary of National Democratic Front
_ reported by Thangjalun
This week, the National Democratic Front of Burma has reached its 31st Anniversary.
Ethnic peoples of Burma namely, Chin, Kachin, Karen, Karenni, Arakanese, Mon, Shan, Pa-o and Palaung etc participated in the struggle for independence along with the ethnic Burmans. Negation of restructure of Burma into a federal union and consequent suppression of their aspirations by successive governments that came into power after independence prompted the ethnic peoples with no other alternative but to make resistance. Realising that only by forming united front could victory be attained, basing on a common policy and programme, the ethnic people's National Democratic Front (NDF) came into existence on 10the May 1976.
So, on May 10 2007, Burmese exile pro-democracy activists in India made a ceremony to mark the 31st Anniversary of National Democratic Front of Burma.
