Pro-junta political party briefs press
A pro-junta political party - National Unity Party - on Wednesday morning held a pre-Union's Day press conference in Rangoon, where they expressed concern that there might be yet another civil war or street demonstrations in the country.
The NUP also condemned Burma's main opposition party – National League for Democracy – for its confrontational stand against the junta.
The NUP was formed in 1988. It was renamed from the Burma Socialist Programme Party (BSPP) led by former military dictator Ne Win, who stepped down in the wake of the nation-wide pro-democracy uprising in 1988.
