I like that Irrawaddy reports the number of Rakhine and other 'national races' displaced last year as tens of thousands (didn't cite where they get that number) while the number of Rohingya (Bengali in their report) as 'many'. It's nearly a million. burma.irrawaddy.com/news/2018/08/2…

And to think, the federal government could have 1. listened to indigenous people, because they matter 2. taken the 4.5 billion to buy the #TransMountain #pipeline and used that to nationalize green energy projects to ensure that the energy of the future is democratically owned

Airstrike on Yemen school bus is 'apparent war crime,' says rights group cnn.com/2018/09/02/mid…. It is time to bring US, Saudi & allies to ICC. On no! ICC will be so busy with every members of UN in the court one way or the other with those right groups’ meddling.

Burma is a progressive country & is changing to become a fully democratic nation. This country has been unfairly treated via smear campaign, character assassination & fake news. Of course tatmadaw top brass need to be removed and military needs to be put under civilian control.

Sarcasm is a trait of someone who is weak. Could not face any criticism himself and mutated me. Coward.

Mabatha or whatever they call themselves these days is running an online radio. National anthem as opening and closing theme, rant of Wirathu against Facebook sandwiched by Dhamma songs and Burmese songs streamed from YouTube to keep you entertained thaaharyainternetradio.blogspot.com
