Burma's gone quiet...

Burma time 14;28


From a blogger covering the story:

Dear All,

I sadly announce that the Burmese military junta has cut off the internet connection throughout the country. I therefore would not be able to feed in pictures of the brutality by the brutal Burmese military junta.

I will also try my best to feed in their demonic appetite of fear and paranoia by posting any pictures that I receive though other means (Journos!! please don’t ask me what other means would be??). I will continue to live with the motto that “if there is a will there is a way”.

We probably need to lobby the Chinese government or UN envoy to Burma to ask the junta to switch on the Internet. Please!

Burma, the shooting has started

Quite the contrast to the picture below. The shooting/beating has started. Deaths are reported...

Burma NOT Myanmar

Scary looking group eh? Imagine, red clad Monks, pink clad Nuns... 30,000 of them walking in droves, in bare feet, joined by tens of thousands of others, in peaceful protest of the Junta. A curfew has been imposed. The last time this happened, the Junta came in with guns and slaughtered an estimated 3000 people in response.

Sanctions are not enough. If they come in with guns, sanctions will not stop the bullets. This is history in the making, I only hope the ending is a celebration, not a funeral.
