All Burma Monks' Alliance
All Burma Monks' Alliance (abbreviated ABMA) is a coalition of monks representing the All Burma Young Monks' Union, the Federation of all Burma Monks' Union, the Rangoon Young Monks' Union and the Sangha Duta Council of Burma.[1] It was formed during the Saffron Revolution, founded on 9 September 2007 after monk protests in Sittwe and Pakokku.[1] During its formation, ABMA made several key demands to the ruling State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), including a formal apology to the Sangha, a reduction on fuel and commodity prices, release of political prisoners, and dialogue with the pro-democracy leaders for national reconciliation.[2]
