Myanmar in trouble

We are aware of the problem in Myanmar in regards to the house arrest of pro democracy movement leader, Ang San Suu Kyi. Another one was the military junta’s mêlée with the ethnic Karen insurgents in the south, bordering Thailand, which they have claimed to have defeated last June.

Now, another news is hogging the lime light in the medias, especiall,y the Asian ones. It is the confrontations between the military and the Kokangs(Chinese-speaking ethnic rebels), at the border of China. The kokangs have fled into the wary eyed China to escape the attacks from the Myanmar army. Refugees are increasing in the thousands and China is becoming uneasy, what with Myanmar being one of its allies. This would not be the end of the troubles in Myanmar. There are other well-armed militant groups in the north fighting to keep their autonomy notably the Wa and Kachin.

When will the people of Myanmar have a trouble free nation? It all seems to be up to the Military junta. The United Nations are just united in keeping a low profile.
