Popular Post snoop1130 Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 Bangkok – Hundreds of protesters screamed and wept as they demonstrated against Myanmar’s junta in Thailand’s capital on Thursday, the third anniversary of an army coup that ended the country’s brief spell of democracy. Young and old gathered outside the United Nations headquarters in Bangkok, wearing T-shirts showing jailed democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, with white flowers in their hair and red bandanas on their foreheads. While Yangon’s streets were quiet, in Bangkok around 300 protesters — eyed by Thai police — shouted anti-junta slogans and trampled bloodied images of Myanmar army leader Min Aung Hlaing.

Popular Post NanLaew Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 Good timing. I was reading how their dear leader Gen. Min Aung Hlaing is no longer flavor of the month following considerable losses in the remoter regions to various rebels and insurgent groups. That and lack of recruits for the Tatmadaw. Of course, his deputy is already being touted as simply waiting in the wings (maybe the incumbent will be offered exile in Cambodia) so just a change in their (mis)management rather than a chink in their armor. Progress and democracy in Myanmar has always been measured by a rather unique set of metrics. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
