Invitation for Emergency Karen Worldwide Conference

Dear Karen nationals at home and abroad,

We would like to invite you to attend Karen Worldwide Conference which will be held from 27^th February- 1^st March 2012 in our motherland of Kawthoolei.

This conference will be held six weeks after the initial ceasefire agreement between the Karen National Union and Thein Sein Government, to analyse the current situation of the Karen people, to come together as a nation in support of the KNU for further talks towards a genuine political solution for the Karen people and Burma .

Given the fact that there have been some developments inside Burma , this is such a crucial time for our nation. Therefore, it is extremely important that the voices from different Karen communities and backgrounds around the world are included in any further political negotiations.

We appreciate this is a short notice, but we really hope that you can participate with us at this crucial time. Your opinions and contributions are very important to us. However, if you can not make it in person, please feel free to send your opinions to karen_unity@yahoo.com by Wednesday 23^rd February 2012.

Please see the attached documents for more logistic information for the conference and contact Naw Hsa Moo at 081-7408119

We look forward to seeing you all.

Best wishes,

Karen Unity Seminar Committee
