Myanmar in Chaos

A Student in Myanmar Talks About the Current Situation

As the world watches (at least what we can) the government of Myanmar uses its military might to put down protest in the country. As people are shot and arrested for there efforts to bring about change some people in Myanmar believe the U.N. will do nothing as you can read for your selff below. I requested information from several people living in Myanmar and received responses from only two. It is reported that the government had tried to shut down the internet to prevent information and pictures from getting out and at this time it is sporadic and may explain the lack of responses.

This is what one young man had to say, for obvious reason I am withholding the name of the person who provided this information.

The links to photographs and videos provided may be disturbing however I believe every one should see them.

Received from a college student

"Myanmar military regime was arranging trip for Mr. Gambari to Myit-Kyi-Nar City of Kachin State which was in northern Myanmar. That news is coincided with the news received before he went to my country, the regime backed USDA (Union Solidarity and Development Association) is forcing people to join faked protesting to trick UN Special envoy Mr. Gambari. People around the country believe that the regime will try their best to trick Mr. Gambari to ease international pressure
