NEWS From My Perspective!

Burma's Aung San Suu Kyi's Dilemma!

Currently being held in a Political Prison, and is being tried for allowing an American on her premises. Which violated the House Arrest Visitation terms. What I am still wondering is why didn't she tell the authorities to come and arrest this American intruder. When she knew fully well that if he stays there, could get into serious trouble.

She said publicly that she asked him to leave several times, bur he refused to leave.

This does not hold water at all. Because if any intruder comes into my home, and I am sure yours, you will have him or her removed forthwith. Especially if his presence jeopardizes your security or freedom!

China is a trading partner with Burma, and has it's own humanitarian problems to think about. So they will not put any pressure on Burma's military junta to release her, or ensure that Justice is done.

India also have their Hindu and Pakistani religious and territorial problems. Plus the disadvantaged Dalits injustices among them in the Punjab and other provinces, where mass poverty and illiteracy abound.

These two countries have trading interests that benefits them with Burma, and will not be tempted to get involved politically either.


  The Tamil's Of Shri Lanka-Do They Have A Future Now!


The TAMIL indigenous peoples, along with other minority ethnic groups have had a very long and hard history of suffering, at the mercy of the national government and majority Hindu population. 

These people petitioned for Independence some time ago, but did not get it. Then in 1973 they asked for Autonomy or self Governance without interference from the Central government. But to no avail.

After which they took the last ditch position to attain it via insurrection.

Today, they are a defeated people. Homeless, thousands died, mutilated, displaced, humiliated, with little or no prospects for assimilation into mainstream society in the near future.

Will justice be granted for all the atrocities that have ensued during this last ditch onslaught by the National Army? 

Or will the International Community sit idly by, and allow these people to suffer in silence, without any REAL intervention for real Justice?

We would have to wait and see!
