th
international New Year day we would like to wishall the Karen people and their friends a Very Happy & Prosperous New Year!We hope that there will finally be reconciliation, justice, peace, unity andfreedom, for all the peoples of Burma.
2.
It is now a time when unity of the Karen people is vital. The SPDC militarydictatorship has been working systematically to break up unity of the Karen people, by various means.
3.
In the past 15 years, the SPDC has sown conflicts among the Karen peoplethrough perfidious means, causing serious harm and loss, and much grief tothe entire Karen people. Disunity of the Karen people has benefited only theadversary of the entire Karen people, the criminal SPDC militarydictatorship.
4.
The most important need of the Karen people politically, in the New Year of 2010 is unity of the entire Karen people, irrespective of dialect groups,religious creeds and regional differences.
5.
Only when we can establish a solid unity of the Karen people, we will be ableto liberate ourselves from the oppressive rule of the SPDC military regime. Itis time for the Karen people to learn a lesson from the bitter experiences of the past 15 years.
6.
At the beginning of the international New Year, we the KNU, earnestly urgeand welcome each and every Karen to rally under the flag of the Karen National Union (KNU), for a united struggle against the common enemy, theSPDC military dictatorship, for the liberation of the entire Karen people fromoppression and serfdom.January 1, 2010 A.D.
