Dear Editor,

The SPDC junta does not care whoever writes any 'road map'. The most important thing is to reach a common agreement among all of us; the opposition forces, Burman and non-Burman, democratic and nationalist. First, we all the Mon should have one voice; second, all our ethnic non-Burman groups should have one common voice; and third, a common agreement between the Burman and non-Burman opposition forces. When too many opposition groups write too many 'road maps', it shows our disunity and will only make SPDC happy. The international community will not pay attention on our struggle either.
