It is a strange time in Burma, reports Northeast Bylines: great fear and deprivation is mixed with genuine hope that the insurrection will finally see the end of the murderous military rule.
Zoya Phan, Programme Director from Burma Campaign UK, commented: “After decades of dictatorships, we finally have a chance of freeing ourselves from military dictatorship. People are paying a great price to win their freedom, with more than four million people forced to flee their homes, 21,000 political prisoners, and a desperate humanitarian crisis. We need everyone to lobby their MP and lobby their government to do more to cut off the flow of arms and money to the military dictatorship.”
