The man-made disaster in Myanmar

A monstrous cyclone in Myanmar has been followed by monstrous inhumanity by the country’s military dictatorship. The UN announced this morning that it was suspending food aid after the junta seized humanitarian shipments. This comes after the regime refused to issue visas to international aid workers.

"Myanmar’s generals now join the ranks of history’s great tyrants – despots like Stalin, Mao, North Korea’s Kim dynasty – who were willing to allow the masses die of hunger and disease rather than yield the least bit of control."


One of the commentors in this article asks a pertinent question: "If Myanmar is not accepting money and aid then WHY is Google trying to collect money for the victims and where is that Google money being held?" Inquiring minds indeed.
