When there is a will for All inclusive exile Government

…

_ By Dr Sein Myint

The starting point to establish the “genuine” Exile Coalition Burmese Government is that we don’t need to look far and wide but only to look close by, that is the successful establishment of International Burmese Monk Association (Sasana Moli) organized by our most respectful Buddhist Monks recently.

Lead by two of the most renowned and respectful Sayar-Daw-Gyis with full support of committed Junior Monks who’d represented most of the Burmese Buddhist Monasteries across the globe is the prime example for our democratic movement to follow suit.

As stated in my previous article, all those leaders and representatives of exile democratic political parties, ethnic nationalities, students, professional and social communities must set aside their personal, political, ethnic and social differences among ourselves, and prepare to work in unity to achieve our main objective, that is to liberate our people from the military yoke and give freedom to live in peace and harmony.

Once we really accepted and have desire to achieve this unity spirit in our minds, then the subsequent steps are much easier to follow up, it is just a matter of technicalities, as they say.

How do we achieve this unity spirit? It’s simple. WE need to talk among ourselves first. This is what we need to do it for ourselves even before we talk to our adversaries. So far, we’ve seen too many personal smear attacks, party political attacks, racial slurs, with too much emotion involve.

Fortunately, we do have many committed people across the globe, working within various exile organizations both political and ethnics, to achieve the same aim and goal, but unfortunately, we have never been united under one umbrella organization to work in tandem. Some might argue that there already exist such unmbrella groups in exile, but still they have excluded many other political organizations and ethnic groups.We can have some organizations with separate aims and objectives within the common goal, but still workable as alliance or coalition partners.

There are many able leaders and individuals in our exile movement who can devote their time and energy to lead such noble cause for our people. It is just a matter for these leaders and individuals to accept this challenge to initiate and organize to kick start dialogues within every community and organization in order to establish the spirit of unity. And many young people can also help in a big way to start these dialogue processes. And of course, our most respected Buddhist Monks could be in help facilitate these dialogues as well.

When there is a will, there will always be a way.
