Oakland, Calif., April 18. Ashin Kovida, one of the organizers of the September protest marches in Myanmar, said: "I don't like war. Many people are being killed and I don't like that. ...I was born in Burma. I didn't like the dictatorship in my country. I'm a Buddhist monk and participated in peaceful demonstrations.
