 alanocu says: It looks like the coast is missing........ It's beyond my comprehension that 100,000 people have *disappeared* (the current projection)  It looks as though the coastal shore has been washed away. The junta government is actively hindering NGO aid from providing immediate assistance. Myanmar under pressure as death toll set to skyrocket With the delta virtually cut off and frustration growing among aid agencies and governments, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner suggested invoking a U.N. "responsibility to protect" clause without waiting for the junta's approval. Holmes, U.N. undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs, said that would be premature. "We are having useful and constructive discussions with the authorities of Myanmar," he told reporters at the United Nations. http://www.canada.com/topics/news/world/s...  Apparently the Junta wants all the credit for any help given their own people. Nice Generals, those. Funny how easy it had been to ignore the oppression in Burma where thousands have suffered, yet the situation is suddenly in our faces now we have satellite pictures. So now it has become real? It is the same junta that has been there all along oppressing the same people with the same agenda. It will become clear that while the junta operated under the pretense of absolute power, they are in reality powerless, when faced with the responsibility of leadership, and the ability to operate an administration, or a country. Will the concern for the people of Burma last into June? Or will the concern be eclipsed by a tragedy somewhere else in the world that has become 'Now' leaving Burma as yesterday's news.,. |
