"While I stand with my colleagues in congratulating the strides made in Burma, not only in the election but also in their clear move toward a democratic system, there still are, however, extensive problems that should not be overlooked. One such issue that is of great concern is the war that is taking place in the Kachin State. There are currently an estimated 70 000 refugees that have fled fighting near their homes to live in temporary camps by the Sino-Burmese border. Also, there were no elections in Kachin, due to the fighting, and it appears this conflict will not end any time soon. The ethnic Kachins are running out of food, and diseases such as TB and malaria are spreading fast, and yet the Burmese Government will not allow any aid agencies in to assist these people. Thus, I feel that we must be cautious with our praise until this situation is resolved."@en1
