Dear Sirs,

I am worried the Shan State and Shan population are shrinking fast unfairly. Racism is not a solution for peace.

Racial regions were granted to those groups, bowing to Burmese centralization, practically blocking a Union formation. Shan State secession was treated like a criminal case, now they are cutting the Shan State by racial divisions, like Wa, PaO, Ta-ang. Why is this kind of secession not regarded as a criminal case? And they will be governed directly by the central government. This is totally against federal union (decentralization) formation, and this should not be allowed.
