Interview with a Karen Monks in Rangoon

Introduction--

After September protest there ever I big evaluation whether there will be the consequence or not. I was asked by many friends both form inside and out side of Burma about this protest. Most of these people asked me the same question whether this protest was lost. So I feel like they have wrong expectation from the monks. Because the monks are not leaders of politic and they are just part of society. They did not have plan to lead the people or change the country. They just to present religious role for the changing of Burma and the authority have to think about the present situation of Burma.

I would like to present my interview as below-

Name-U Nyan Net Tha Ra

Ethnic-Karen
1.
The role of Karen monks at this protest.
There were not only Burmen monks in that protest, but all ethnics monks participated there.
2.
The role of DKBA's monks U thu Za Nat.
He try to come to Rangoon but at Sittaung bridge he was not allowed be authority to cross the bridge.
3.
Consequences of this protest
People are still looking for way to take any possibility for the changing of Burma. One day it will surely come out.
4.
The situation of monastery at the time of protest.
The monks were strictly under watch and they did not allow those were out side to come back to ministry.
5.

His own plan for taking responsibility for Burma.
Encourage people in preaching and equip them with knowledge and ability by preaching to them. If the situation demands him to lead people he is ready to get out from monk life.
6

.Resettlement and Karen people
So far he does not see any Karen come back and doing special thing for Karen people in border line.So all Karen need to try to get their national freedom in Burma. Living in other countries is not the absolute solution for Karen people.
7.

Comment to present Karen leaders and encouragement to youths
Leaders don't have well relationship to each other so they even need to try to deal with young Karen people to enable youths to take responsibility in the future. Young Karen need to find out way to meet each other for idea sharing, supporting and good relationship to enable them to go through religious, social and traditional boundaries.
