Burma as ASEAN's Bosnia - by Dr. Maung Zarni -

Maung Zarni SPREAD THE WORD. SHARE THIS AS WIDELY AS POSSIBLE. "MYANMAR AS ASEAN's BOSNIA" The Pentagon and CIA are welcome. OIC's relief office is NOT. This is the essence of "reforms" in Burma, yes, those reforms Aung San Suu Kyi has endorsed. Why did Naypyidaw renege on its official agreement to let OIC open a humanitarian affairs office in Burma? Simple: OIC presence would have been rather inconvenient for the reforming Burma in times like these when the Rohingya properties and houses are burned down, families driven out like stray dogs, OIC would be bearing witness to the continuing on-again off-again periodic ethnic cleansing of these people on their own birthplace. Buddha (sic? Burma) forbids that OIC takes videos and pictures of Rohingya villages burning, children and women slaughtered and neo-fascist state and racist society act in collaboration towards their shared mission of ridding the country of Muslim Rohingyas. This is BOSNIA - except that ASEAN is no NATO. ASEAN has neither the collective spine, nor the social conscience nor humanistic heart.
