Dear all,
We, All Burma Federation of Student Union – Foreign Affairs Committee (ABFSU-FAC), have learned with profound shock and sadness that more than 70 people were killed in the bombing and a massacre in the capital Oslo of Norway, whose people as well as government are enthusiastically support our Burmese democratic movement, on Friday.
Most of these victims were youths and students from the youth camp on the Utoeya Island near Oslo. These youths are the future of your country; their power and energy are very valuable and will be a precious contribution to the freedom, development and prosperity of your country in one day. Whatever the reason is, we have strongly condemned the one who stupidly attacked the innocent and armless people including youths and this action of terrorism.
On behalf of our organization and the all students and youths of Burma, we would like to send our deepest sympathies and the most sincere condolence to this very tragic event that could take off the hearts of the people of Norway.
Moreover we would like to say sorry and reveal our concern that these sorts of situation in Norway should be taken as very intensive situation to be aware of security.
Yours Sincerely, Thwin Linn Aung (In-charge of Foreign Affairs Working Group of ABFSU-FAC)
On Behalf of Leading Committee Members of ABFSU-FAC
