MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE
We are shocked at the sudden demise of the great leader Phado Saw Ba Thein Sein, the Chairman of the KNU, NDF and ENC. It is not only a loss for the Karen people but also for the whole ethnic and democratic forces of Burma in their unfinished struggle for democracy, human rights and federalism.
On behalf of the Arakan Rohingya National Organisation (ARNO) with the Rohingya people of Arakan, I hereby express my sincere condolence to you and members of the bereaved family.
Nurul Islam
President
