Letters to US President Barack Obama

On the Statehood of Palestine and How It Relates to Taiwan’s Sovereignty

Sunday, 05 July 2009 14:40 Leo Wang Letters For Taiwan - Letters to US President Barack Obama

Dear President Obama:

I like to congratulate you on your decision to support the establishment of an independent Palestinian state (as reported by Reuters’ Mohammed Assadi’s “Palestinian Dismay, US and EU cautious on Netanyahu” on Monday June 15).  Albeit difficult, we pray that this will be the first step that will bring peace and democracy to the Middle East; and eventually, to the rest of the world.

Tibetan self-immolator Tamding Kyab, 23, in an undated photo.

DHARAMSHALA, November 23: In confirmed reports coming out of Tibet, another Tibetan set himself on fire late last night in an apparent protest against China’s continued occupation of Tibet.

The Tibetan man, the 80th to self-immolate inside Tibet since 2009, has been identified as Tamding Kyab.

“Tamding Kyab, 23 years of age, set himself on fire on November 22 at around 10 pm (local time) in the Kluchu region of Kanlho, eastern Tibet,” exile Tibetans hailing from the region told Phayul. “After local Tibetans recovered Tamding Kyab's charred body this morning, they carried it to his home."
