据伊洛瓦底网,欧盟驻缅甸大使公开对外发声,要求缅甸政府邀请果敢德昂若开三军代表参加21世纪彬龙大会。欧使说,至少给他们一个机会,他们可以在会上表达同意或不同意。欧使还声称,联合国秘书长潘基文参加新彬龙大会同样意味着将会保证“全部武装”参加本次大会?
这个消息比较诡异,此前欧使曾经说过,德昂等武装应该先放下武器,然后再参加和平进程,这次怎么来了个180度的大转弯?不仅如此,还把潘基文拉出来为同盟军背锅。
难道,这次欧盟和老潘要破天荒的为同盟军等背个大黑锅吗?作为担保方,让三军参会?
说到担保,番外还是要提醒众武装,这个世上只有自己才可能真正为自己担保,其它谁也不可靠。英国美帝曾为乌克兰担保弃核后的领土安全,最终克里米亚及乌东被大帝鲸吞蚕食,担保个屁啊。英帝美帝的担保都是这个造型,其它人的担保?笑笑了。当然,有担保总是好的,要充分利用起来,但绝不能成为套到自己脖子上的锁链。

EU Ambassador to Burma: ‘Democracy is Incompatible with War’
By ZARNI MANN / THE IRRAWADDY | August 24, 2016
MANDALAY – As the Union Peace Conference draws near, the European Commission, who will witness the event, is urging a policy of all-inclusivity.
Roland Kobia, the European Union’s ambassador to Burma, told journalists in Mandalay on Tuesday that dialogue is an important element of sustainable peace in the country.
“The EU’s concern is to at least give a chance to dialogue. If they [the ethnic groups] are invited to discuss at the table, and when they are around the table, they can agree and disagree, and at least, they will have a chance to dialogue,” said the ambassador.
Kobia pointed out that some ethnic armed groups are still yet to be invited to what is being dubbed the 21st Century Panglong conference, scheduled to begin on August 31 in Naypyidaw.
The Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA), the Arakan Army (AA) and the ethnic Kokang’s Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) are currently involved in active conflict with the Burma Army in northern Shan State. Although the groups have stated that they are “ready” to attend the peace conference, they have not received an official invitation yet.

“The more inclusive the peace process is, the more sustainable. If some groups are excluded, it will not give good results for the long term and this will create problems again,” said the ambassador.
While praising State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s peace efforts, the EU ambassador said that ending conflict is important for the country’s stability, democracy and economic prosperity.
“If Myanmar wants to have a democratic system, it needs to end the conflicts. Democracy is incompatible with war. To make this happen, all-inclusiveness is important,” Kobia said.
“It takes times to build back the trust, which is the basic thing they need to compromise, as the peace process is about compromise. Every party should be ready to make concessions to find a common denominator. But it is worth it to do anything to achieve peace,” he added.
The EU ambassador said that the possible visit of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon at the peace conference would send a powerful message to the ethnic representatives in attendance.
“Many ethnic armed groups would like to have more guarantees from the international community. And they need to know that the international community is watching over the peace process to ensure that it will be impartial,” Kobia said. “If people like Ban Ki-moon are coming, it is a strong signal that the international community at the highest level is interested and it will reassure numbers of groups involve in the peace process,” he added.
