For the past few weeks. the SLORC has been waging a campaign against the ethnic Karen rebels. the only major ethnic army which has not yet signed a ceasefire with the regime. The Karen. who axe Christian. will not submit to SLORCs control. The Thai Army has been repatriating refugees to Burmain violation of international law. The carnage on the border provides yet another reason to invoke sanctions on the SLORC regime not just because its the decent. thing to do. but because U.S. law requires it. The Karen National Union was one of several ethnic nationalities which agreed in January to a common platform of support for democracy. opposition to Burmas membership in ASEAN. rejection of the rigged constitutional convention and the SLORCs cosmetic actions against narcotics production and trafficking. and opposition to foreign investment.
