I am posting this so the world will know the truth about Burma. (The official sites owned by government has censored news.. they only talk about environment beauties ) Finally glad to see CNN, BBC, and all the newstation are picking up the truth about Burma (Myanmar) If anyone of you have time I strongly request in regards to go to http://www.savemyanmar.com and sign the support for justice and freedom petition and to know the truth. Really appreciate this. The site is available in 10 languages now.
This is really sad that we live in a world, still, with this sort of dictatorship ruling. Unfortunately, there are some who would prefer to never interfere and let these thugs continue to do this.
I nearly moved to Myanmar this year, but instead came to China. I took the entrance exam and was accepted to the International Therevada Buddhist Missionary University in Yangon. Now I'm feeling like South China (not far away from Myanmar anyway) was a good choice, because I've got no love for un-elected fascists dictators and I'de probably be out there with the monks.
China (who has become best trade partner with Myanmar Government) and Russia are still disapproving of UN helping Burmese. That is just not right. You see I should be with my fellow student leaders, marching with peacock flag and i would be happier than staying here in US where everyday I thought about my people living in disaster while I am having good times.
The junta are trying to cut off all internet connections to stop news updates being released Hope the pressure can be kept up on the junta, so that they crack, it will be tough but it can be done
The Burmese Local News and Gov Owned News are saying VOB, VOA, CNN, BBC are all lying and exagarting on the crisis! See how much they want to censor? About time my country will change. It has been 2 generations. since 1962. Burmese and the world need to support to change for future generations. Burmese officials are now trying to lure the protester like what they did back in 1988. Promising negotiation and stuff again (in 1988, to end protests for the world to not interfere, Gov promised election, NLD democratic won, killed, put them housearrest). Protesters should not believe them! Call me weak or anything but I cried almost everyday thinking about all this.
Its has been a long enduring struggle and it must continue until the innocent prevail http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/topsto...-s-heroine-and-the-oxford-don-89520-19866770/
