Xenophobic ‘junta’ the reason for Myanmar sorrow!

Yesterday the many military vessels and helicopters, loaded with relief material that had been camping close to Myanmar waters returned. The xenophobic Myanmar ‘junta’ refused to allow them entry and hence eventually, left them with no alternative but to return.

I fail to understand how a government can continue to be oblivious to the sufferings of its own people? The junta’s claim that this was part of US invasion plan and that US is eyeing Myanmar’s oil deposit doesn’t hold water. For heavens sake the UN is watching. All the counties understand the plight of Myanmar people and wanted to be of some help to them. Even if US did have such intentions I don’t understand the resistance Myanmar is showing to the help pouring in from other countries? Do they want to say that the whole world is conspiring against Myanmar?

It is unbelievable that even today oppressive governments can get off by setting some hoax alarm and unconvincing theories while their country men suffer! Why can’t UN, human rights agencies and other general bodies of the world take some stern actions against such oppressive governments? Something for us to ponder, I guess…
