The Ukraine war has dominated Western attention but a fraction of the same support could tip the conflict’s balance in favor of pro-democracy forces, reports the Asia Times.
“For many countries around the world, the Myanmar crisis has been forgotten,” said Mark Farmaner, director of Burma Campaign UK. “It may be understandable that a crisis on their doorstep means governments pay more attention to Ukraine, but it is frustrating that if just a few percent of the action against Russia was applied against the Myanmar military it could help to tip the balance in favor of people resisting the military coup attempt.”
