Dear Comrades,
We are so shocked to learn of the terror attack at your AUF camp and the bomb blast in Oslo which caused so many deaths. We, part of Burma’s pro-democracy movement and on behalf of the whole movement share your sorrow and mourning and send our sincere condolences to the family members of our comrade-victims and the peoples of Norway.
We know you as a peaceful and natural country, and as a people passionate to peace, justice and democracy, and we cannot imagine how your sentiments at this very dark moment in your history. The atrocious attacks to our comrades at AUF camp and in Oslo are the attacks to the heart of peace and justice loving peoples across the world. These are also the attacks on all of us.
The ultra-nationalist ideologies and xenophobic behaviors will not bring peace, harmony and justice to either Europe or the rest of the world. We, progressive political parties are at the forefront in fighting against such terrorist ideologies and behaviors. Therefore, we are targeted and our comrades had to give their lives in this struggle for equality, justice, peace and freedom. We will never forget them. However, we will win although the struggle is tough and unfinished yet.
Dear Comrades,
This terror attack is also an atrocious insult to today’s youth across the world. Youth love equality, justice and peace. They are the main forces for change in societies. Those who like to maintain status-quo have killed many future political leaders of your country, who may well have been the future of Europe and the world as well. We believe that many more youths from Norway and across the world will come out to show their solidarity with AUF and to denounce political violence.
Dear Comrades
We request you, your AUF comrades and your fellow country men and women to accept our deepest condolences. We, peace loving peoples of Burma are today standing with you.
The memories of the youth who have given their lives during this terror attack will never be forgotten. The fight against extremism, xenophobia and ultra-nationalism must be enforced. Democracy and tolerance must prevail.
In Solidarity,
Central Leading Committee
