April 2, 2008. Taungup: Anti-referendum flyers have been spreading in some townships in southern Arakan but no one knows who is responsible for the distribution in the area.
A local resident told Narinjara yesterday over the phone that the authority always blames the opposition politicians when such incidents take place in the area, but this time he heard the plan was being conducted by ordinary people. In the township, the sentiment of people against the military government is high due to the hardship of daily life, so the people are creating the anti-referendum flyers and distributing them in the area.
The anti-referendum flyers were distributed secretly by unknown individuals in Taungup three days ago, as well as on the motor road between Taungup and Thandwe; both townships are located in southern Arakan.
In the flyers, the anonymous protestors urged the public not to cast "yes" votes in the referendum because the constitution is not to the advantage of the Burmese people, and will only allow the Burmese army to rule the country continually. People are urged to be united against the upcoming referendum.
Another source from Taungup said that the dissatisfaction of the Arakanes people with the military government has been increasing by the day because people are facing more and more hardships in surviving. They added that at any time the discontent may explode and the peoples' revolution could emerge again in Burma.
