RTw  11/17 0232  KAREN REBELS ABANDON MAJOR CAMP

    CHIANG MAI, Thailand, Nov 17, Reuter - Karen rebels on Tuesday abandoned an
important camp by the Moei River on the Burmese-Thai border after a week-long
bombardment by Burmese government troops, guerrilla sources said.
    "We had to withdraw to a location about one kilometer north of Tawoohta,"
said a source reached by telephone.
    Tawoohta was the base of the Karen 7th Brigade and lies inside Burma about
100 km (60 miles) south of their headquarters at Manerplaw.
    Government mortar barrages killed at least 12 guerrillas and forced 600
others, as well as many civilians, to flee.
    Four Karen camps have now been overrun by government troops since August
in fighting that has killed about 400 combatants on both sides, according to
official Rangoon media reports.
    Rangoon has sent about 10,000 fresh troops to the eastern border for the
annual dry season offensive against the ethnic minority army.
    It declared a unilateral ceasefire in April at the end of the last
campaign.
    Burmese eastern region commander Major General Maung Aye, visiting Chiang
Mai for talks with his Thai counterparts on border security, said on Monday that
the army was going on the offensive again because of repeated Karen attacks.
    The Karen, a largely Christian minority, have been fighting for autonomy
since Burma gained independence from Britain in 1948.

NUMBERS OF VIETNAM BOAT PEOPLE DOWN TO A TRICKLE, DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM HAILED

HANOI (NOV. 19) DPA - Vietnam's "boat people" exodus was down to a trickle
during the first half of 1992, thanks in part to the European Community's
development programme for returnees, Radio Hanoi said Thursday.

During the period January-June this year only one boatload of Vietnamese
refugees arrived in Malaysia, 12 refugees arrived in Hong Kong and nine were
reported in Singapore, Macau or the Philippines, the broadcast said.

In 1991, during the same period, more than 20,000 Vietnamese boat people fled
their homeland. Since 1975 more than one million Vietnamese have taken to the
high seas to escape political suppression or economic depression at home.

Radio Hanoi said that one reason for the drop-off in boat people was that the
conditions for those returning to Vietnam, especially from the refugee camps of
Hong Kong, had improved under the development programmes of the E.C. and the
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

Last year the E.C. donated 13 million U.S. dollars to establish a "returnee
programme" for boat people to entice them home and gradually build up the
standard of living through job creation schemes in target coastal areas.

The majority of Vietnam's recent boat people have been classified as "economic
refugees" and are thus ineligible for regugee status and resettlement abroad
under the UNHCR guidelines.

                SUPPLY

JAKARTA (NOV. 23) XINHUA - INDONESIA IS NOT OPTIMISTIC OF THE
RESULTS OF THIS WEEK'S MEETING OF THE ORGANIZATION OF PETROLEUM
EXPORTING COUNTRIES (OPEC) IN VIENNA, SAID MINES AND ENERGY
MINISTER GINANDJAR KARTASASMITA HERE TODAY.

THE MINISTER TOLD THE PRESS THAT DUE TO THE PRESENT OVERSUPPLY, IT
WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR OPEC TO AGREE ON WAYS TO ACHIEVE THE DESIRED
OIL PRICE LEVEL.

THE VIENNA OPEC MEETING ON OIL SUPPLY SCHEDULED TO BE HELD FROM
NOVEMBER 24 TO 28 IN THE AUSTRAIN CAPITAL IS TO DISCUSS OPEC OIL
PRODUCTION LEVEL FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS AND EQUADOR'S PLAN TO QUIT
THE ORGANIZATION.

THE LAST OPEC MEETING MADE A DECISION TO PRODUCE ONLY 24.2 MILLION
BARRELS PER DAY IN THE THIRD QUARTER OF 1992.  IT ENGINEERED A BEN
PRICE LEVEL OF 21 U.S. DOLLARS PER BARREL IN A HOPE TO PREVENT DROP
OF OIL PRICE.  HOWEVER, OPEC OIL PRICE HAS DROPPED TO UNDER 21 U.S.
DOLLARS PER BARREL DUE TO OVERSUPPLY.

IN OCTOBER, OPEC MEMBERS PRODUCED 25.3 MILLION BARRELS OF OIL
PER DAY (BPD), THE HIGHEST LEVEL DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS.

GINANDJAR PREDICTED THAT THE MARKET CONDITION WOULD BE WORSE WHEN
IRAQI OIL ENTERS THE MARKET.  EQUADOR'S PLAN TO QUIT THE OPEC WILL
HAVE A PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT ON THE INTEGRITY AND EXISTENCE OF THE
ORGANIZATION.  KUWAIT ALSO PROPOSED TO INCREASE ITS OIL PRODUCTION
UP TO 2 MILLION ON BPD TO FINANCE THE RECONSTRUCTION OF ITS OIL
INDUSTRIES DESTROYED BY IRAQI TROOPS DURING THE GULF WAR.

THE MINISTER ASSURED THAT INDONESIA WILL MAINTAIN ITS PRESENT OIL
PRODUCTION OF 1.3 MILLION BPD, 0.047 MILLION BPD LOWER THAN ITS
QUOTA.

HE APPEALED TO OPEC MEMBER COUNTRIES TO STOP VIOLATING THEIR
RESPECTIVE QUOTAS AS PART OF EFFORTS TO INCREASE OIL PRICE ON THE
WORLD MARKET.

Subject:      CAM: U.N. chief proposes sanctions aimed at Khmer Rouge (11/16)

	UNITED NATIONS (UPI) -- Secretary-General Boutros Ghali recommended
Monday that the U.N. Security Council authorize peace-keeping troops to
patrol Cambodia's border with Thailand in an effort to cut off the
lucrative external trade routes of the rebellious Khmer Rouge.
	The Maoist guerrilla faction trades lumber and semi-precious gems to
sustain its well-armed military and keep up the areas under its control,
from which U.N. peacekeepers have been barred despite the organization's
endorsement of the Paris peace agreements.
	Ghali said if the Security Council decided to impose the border
control, it would need the ``close cooperation'' from neighboring
countries to make the measure successful.
	He said in a yet to be published report that the Khmer Rouge's non-
compliance with the Paris peace agreements, particularly in the
disarmament and troop cantonment phase, has denied Cambodia a ``neutral
political atmosphere'' in which to organize general elections in May
1993.
	Because of the Khmer Rouge's attitude, the military components of the
U.N. Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) need to be redeployed at
its current strength levels towards ``more intensive observation,
reporting and deterrence of potential violations of the cease-fire,''
Ghali said.
	He said UNTAC's military components should move away from their
present task of disarming and cantoning the four Cambodian factions and
instead begin to police the cease-fire and manning checking points along
the Thai border. He said the peacekeepers should work to improve the
``general sense of security among the Cambodian people.''
	Ghali's document was requested by the Security Council as a progress
report on the latest situation in Cambodia following the failed round of
talks in Beijing last week to revive the Paris agreements and force the
Khmer Rouge to toe the line.
	``The Party of Democratic Kampuchea (Khmer Rouge) has clearly
demonstrated that it is unlikely to change its attitude of non-
cooperation in the foreseeable future,'' Ghali said.
	``Under the circumstances, I recommend that the Security Council
consider the adoption of a series of measures aimed at securing greater
cooperation and compliance with the PDK,'' Ghali said.
	Among the measures suggested are strengthening of border controls to
check immigration and cross-border movement of people, exportation of
goods arising from the exploitation of natural resources or cultural
goods of Cambodia and customs regulations.
	In a strong rebuff to Khmer Rouge's contention that Vietnamese troops
were still in Cambodia in violation of the Paris agreements, the report
said: ``UNTAC has found no evidence of the existence of any formed units
of foreign forces anywhere in Cambodia, with the possible exception of
those zones controlled by the PDK, to which UNTAC has no access.''
	The Khmer Rouge has said that it will not cooperate with the United
Nations as long as Vietnamese troops remain in Cambodia.

Subject: Bangkok Post Nov 18: Japan-Thai satellite experiment

KING Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL) in
conjunction with  the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications of
Japan (MPT), and The National  Space Development Agency of Japan
(NASDA) last week tested satellite transmissions between the two
countries in celebration of the "International Space Year", using
an ETS-V satellite.

The Thai-Japanese satellite transmission tests were to study and
conduct research on satellite and areospace technologies, noted
KMITL Rector Prof Pairash Thajchayapong. The ETS-V satellite was
produced by Japan and used the geo-stationary orbit system, he
added.

Ground stations were located in different countries: Japan, Korea,
Hawaii, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and Thailand, he said.
In Thailand, the ground station was installed at the KMITL campus
and would be expanded to other institutes later, he added.

Last week, part of testing involved an interactive videoconference
session between KMITL and the University of Electro-Communications
called Japan-Thai Youth Friendship Program.

This gave academicians from the two universities a chance to
exchange and discuss various topics, and a number of Thai students
in Japan were able to greet their relatives via the ETS-V
satellite.

There was also a videoconference discussion on "The Impact of
Higher Education on Social Transformation in Asia and the Pacific"
with KMITL, Chulalongkorn University and Sukhothai Thammathirat
Open University academicians taking part.

Tests involved measuring satellite wave propagation in the
Tropical atmosphere ozone as well, said Prof Pairash.

Prof Pairash added that the project was very important for
Thailand because the country's telecommunications infrastructure
was advancing.

"Since Thailand will launch its first satellite next year, the
Thai-Japanese cooperation to train students to have a better
understanding of satellite technology was a tremendous help," he
said.

    If so....why don't you scream to the US in which THOUSANDS of

abused each day ? Is it because we are not the west  people that YOU
always pointed your finger at US ( 3rd World Countries) -- I had been 
looking for answer for many times, but i couldn't find it--? 
    
    Or those  Human right Organizations are just a tool for pressing
those countries so that  they can't compete with the their former 
colonialists? 

**    No westerners screamed when they colonialized us....and now
they screamed at us while we are independent and try to feed our

Saudara Ferry,

I read your reply to Carl, and I'd like comment upon briefly.

You wrote:

< Freedom movement?
< Maybe you meant Rebel movement, Carl.

    Yes, they are as rebels as your ancestors were considered rebels by the
    Dutch colonialists when they were fighting to get rid of them from your
    country. Now, is that you mean by rebels? Unless you're still impregnated
    of the same colonialist mentality like the Dutch and others long time
    ago (the only difference that you'll become then a Brown instead of White
    colonialist!).

< Illegal invasion?
< The majority of the people of ET had decided to join Indonesia...

    Can you mention ONE SINGLE international resolution that has been issued
    to date declaring and recognizing the legality of the Indonesian invasion
    and occupation of ET? I'm willing to provide you with all the
    international resolutions (which are still in force) condemning Indonesia
    and urging for the withdrawal of its forces from ET.

< A small fraction of the people decided that they disagree and rebel against
< the government..

    You seem not to have an idea (at the most a blurred and distorted one)
    about the history of the struggle of the Maubere people. I'd like to
    advise you to read more widely on this topic before you involve yourself
    in this discussion, and not just the publications of Departemen Penerangan
    or Deplu RI.

< of course we have to take care of that rebel movement.

    Nobody doubts that, because you've been dealing with them for 17 years
    already without success. And the whole world now knows that your military
    ( the largest in Southeast Asia) is more and more uncapable to deal with
    a few hundred of 'rebels' (as your generals put it). I do remember that
    since late 1970s that I've heard the same threats from your bosses to wipe
    out those 'rebels' in a couple of weeks. But since then... almost 15 yrs
    have already passed... and the few hundred are still there.
    Instead, they prefer to turn their guns against our indefensible civilian
    population, kill our children, rape our women, and behaving like a mob
    thirsty of blood.
    Is this kind of action that you're proud of? Are these kind of people that
    you want to take care of us?

Salam,

An East Timorese

U.N. OFFICIAL SAYS FREEDOM OF CAMBODIAN PEOPLE IS TOP PRIORITY

PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA (NOV. 19) UPI - The United Nations will give top priority
to protecting the freedom of the Cambodian people in order to create a neutral
political environment in the war-torn country, a UN official said Thursday.

Among the most important freedoms to be protected by the U.N. Transitional
Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) is freedom from intimidation by authorities, UN
spokesman Eric Falt said.

''The (Cambodian) factions must exercise strict control over their armed forces
and take offensive measures to stop all forms of intimidation, harassment or
killing of the civilian population,'' Falt said.

The U.N. began its operation in March to supervise the country in advance of a
free and fair election scheduled to be held in May of 1993.

However, the U.N. has failed to pursuade the Khmer Rouge, the strongest of the
resistance factions, to disarm its forces.

The Khmer Rouge has refused to allow U.N. forces to enter areas under its
control. It has demanded that U.N. forces verify the complete withdrawal of all
Vietnamese troops.

''UNTAC will continue to strengthen its supervision and control over all
administrative agencies, bodies and offices which could directly influence the
outcome of elections,'' Falt said.

A Khmer Rouge officer in Phnom Penh said Thursday there would ''neither be a
neutral political environment, nor security'' if Vietnamese soldiers and
Vietnamese illegal immigrants stay in Cambodia.

The Khmer Rouge communications officer, who asked not to be named, said that in
mid-November a convoy of Phnom Penh government trucks transported ammunition on
Highway 6 to Kampong Thom Province, 87 miles north of Phnom Penh, in
preparation for a government offensive.

''They are ready to fight us and we are ready to use self-defense,'' the Khmer
Rouge officer said. ''There will be no neutral political environment, and the
war will not finish.''

VIETNAMESE REFUGEES START PROTEST IN SINGAPORE

    SINGAPORE, Nov 18, Reuter - About 40 Vietnamese refugees have started a
sit-down protest in Singapore against a decision not to allow them to resettle
in third countries, a Home Affairs Ministry spokesman said on Wednesday.
    The protest began on Tuesday after 85 boat people at a refugee camp here
learned the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) had ruled
that they would not be resettled in third countries, he told Reuters.
    The refugees were screened-out as refugees about two months ago and "now
face the prospect of being repatriated to Vietnam," the spokesman said in a
separate statement.
    The 85 boat people have been in Hawkins Road camp for 16 to 24 months.
