Now the whole world sees the JUNTA true color.

Cyclone Nargis hit Burma already a week ago and started showing the real damage, so far 100,000 people died and millions(many millions for sure) were homeless and nothing to eat and nowhere to stay.

All the countries ready to help the Burmese people. They are waiting at the Thailand Bangkok Airport ready to ship Tons and Tons of supplies to Burmese people. {According to the latest report they just allow one UN flight to Land at Rangoon after one week the cyclone hit Burma!! believe it or not!!}

What the military Junta doing .. NOTHING. NOTHING AT ALL. They asked the AID workers to apply for VISA who come and help their Burmese people. They even close the Embassy in Bangkok today(Thai Public holiday). Do they have time for the Holiday while their own Burmese people are DYING. What Kind of Devil these Military People are?

These Military Junta they don't interest in saving their Own people from Dying. They Don't care about the Millions of Burmese people are Homeless and Nothing to eat, No shelter, NO food.

But these Junta are planing. But they are NOT Planing about how to save and help the Burmese People. They are ONLY planing how to get hold of the power when the international Aid people are coming.(They think international Aid Agency and volunteers as an invasion force!!!). They are planing how to gain Politically from the Cyclone Nargis, How to make the their names and their faces become Popular by standing in front of TV camera and giving food to cyclone survivors. They are planning how to RELABEL on the supplies which were sent by international Aid organization with their own name so that it looks like the supplies were send by them(by doing so they(junta) think Burmese people will start thinking the Generals as saviours and vote "YES" to their "so called" draft constitution)

And where is Gen. Than Shwe the "so called" country leader? Already one week passed, even not saying single word about the Cyclone, not a single word he felt sorry for the people. No where insight.(probably hiding and packing his properties which were stolen from the countries, probably he might think it is beginning of the end, as like others generals he might think the invasion forces(International Aid Organizations) are coming. (Probably he will come out on TV tomorrow and say pity for the victims after he was informed about my article, like as they always do, trying to prove their critics are wrong!!)

Now the whole world see these Than Shwe and his generals and his followers true colors.

Don't talk about whether they interest or not in Democracy and Human Rights.
THEY DON"T EVEN INTEREST 100,000 OF THEIR OWN BURMESE PEOPLE DYING. THEY DON'T INTEREST MILLIONS OF THEIR OWN BURMESE PEOPLE ARE HOMELESS AND NOTHING TO EAT AND DYING, HUNGRY, THIRSTY AND STARVING.

WHAT THEY ONLY INTEREST IS HOW TO SECURE THEIR POWER, HOW TO HOLD ON TO THEIR POWER. HOW TO MAKE POLITICAL GAIN OUT OF CYCLONE NARGIS. HOW TO POSE IN FRONT OF TV CAMERA DISTRIBUTING OTHER PEOPLE DONATIONS AS THEIRS.

Where are the soldiers who killed monks and people in last year September 2007. That time thousands of them came quickly all over the cities and countries to kill people. Now where are they(Military) to clean up the damages and debris? Where are their Thugs who beat up monks and students last year? No one in sight. They always says they protect the country where are they now? Are they protecting the country or the generals?

If you look at the TV news from the international media, you can see all the cleaning up were/are done by the civilians and monk themselves. No army no authorities came and help especially in Rangoon(They(junta) hate people from Rangoon because they think Rangoon people always up against them.)

Now Military Junta showing their TRUE COLORS very clearly to the world. Now the world know what kind of these people are. They(Junta) are worst than the evil.

WHO IS DOING THE REAL WORK? THE PEOPLE AND THE MONKS OR THE GENERALS? SEE FOR YOURSELF AT THE PICTURES.

How Low they are? Junta take political gain out of Nargis

You must be already familiar with the regular news about how Junta not allow international Humanitarian Aids workers come into Burma or the Junta initially reject the offered from UN. Some of you will wonder how come? the country was badly hit by the cyclone and the country ruler rejected the Humanitarian Aids offer from other countries.

As for Burmese, these things are nothing news, these are the Junta STANDARD PROCEDURE. They want the Grass root people of Burma seen them as Saviors of them.

Like the way they always practice. Whenever there were donations from others countries for the natural disasters victims, what they(junta) did was they didn't allow the Aid workers from donation countries came along with the supplies. Why? There is 2 reasons for this.

First reason; They(junta) didn't want the donation countries people know that they RELABEL the donations supplies as donate from the generals or the various Military Divisions.(so that they can take credit as a donors to the general Public)

Second reason; If they(junta) allow the Humanitarian Aid workers go to the disaster area, the local people will start knowing that the military cannot handle the situation that's why people from other countries come and help. They Junta don't want this. What they want is, to make the people think that they(military) are the only organization that help them(public).

They have been practise like this for so many years. (That is one of the reason, the junta cutoff its people with outside world)

Now look at the recent TV from Myanmar Television. Instead of showing how much damage or how much people suffered, the TV showed the General stood in front of the people and giving token supplies and also showed the supplies Boxes with the names of the Generals on it as all these supplies were donated by them.

How low they are, they used the Cyclone disaster as the opportunity for their political gain and their popularity.

If they really care about the Burmese people, let the International Aid agency come into Burma, like the way Indonesia allowed the aid workers to come to Indonesia freely during tsunami.

JUNTA, I CHALLENGE YOU..if you REALLY CARE about our BURMESE PEOPLE allow the Aid workers come into Burma FREELY.

People died everywhere and people need help, Forget about all these DAMN Politics.

Where are ThanShwe and his Thugs?

Source: http://komoethee.blogspot.com/2008/05/blog-post_5457.html

Translated by Naychiu(http://whoiswhoinburma.blogspot.com/)

But Where Are Than Shwe And His SPDC Members?
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said he was "very much alarmed" by news of the high death toll, vowing that the world body would "do whatever (necessary) to provide urgent humanitarian assistance."

And many other Governments around the world pledged help for a country that has more often earned the ire of the international community, not least for keeping democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi in detention for much of the past two decades. ......................................................................................But where is Than Shwe , the head of the state and his SPDC (state peace and development council) members? Perhaps too busy ordering soldiers, paid for by the people of Burma, to guard their enormous mansions and other personal properties?

Rangoon in the Middle of the storm

On the road of Rangoon people were running with their belongings and tried to stop all the cars passed by.

The local eye witness who was fortunately able to contact explained that "Rangoon was totally devastated" hysterically repeated again and again.

The person who looked around the Rangoon after the rain stop said he couldn't dare to go another 1 km and turned back because he didn't bare to see the total destruction of the Rangoon city. The big tress and the Big sign Board were felled on the road and the houses everywhere.

The person continued that he had never seen like this in his whole life.

According to the sources from Rangoon, Kyauktan town which was near by Rangoon had more destruction.

In Rangoon, at Sanchaung Township, all the zinc roofs were Flying in the air and the sky was red colour.

The Cyclone started around Friday midnight and still going strong till now(Saturday morning 3 May 2008). All the electricity and telephone line were cut off and all the zinc roofs were flying around in the air and there were a big loud strange noises.

The were more destruction in Irrawaddy division and expected high causality.

Near Hanthawadi circle(near the Burma Broadcasting and TV stations), the big trees were uprooted and all the big sign board were felled apart and the wind was still strong and there were no government Municipal people to clear the Road and the debris.

All the satellite dishes were destroyed and all the zinc roofs were spread everywhere. No one dared to go outside and even there were not a single dog nor cat on the street.

The rain drops moved HORIZONTALLY like the steam from the cattle pot. Since the roof are destroyed people were the nailed the door from outside and locked the door and stayed in their houses with fear.

Since people were not expected that the cyclone was that big, no one prepare to stock up the food and there might be a danger of food shortage everywhere.

Deadly cyclone changes face of Myanmar's biggest city

Feature: Deadly cyclone changes face of Myanmar's biggest city YANGON, May 3 (Xinhua) --
(Click on the photos to see it bigger)

Some people in Myanmar's biggest city of Yangon were busy with cutting and clearing fallen trees Saturday afternoon in the wake of a midnight-to-noon violent and deadly cyclone storm Nargis, which Yangon residents have never experienced in the past six decades.


Taking the interval that the cyclone stopped on Saturday afternoon, housewives were also seen rushing for food after they were trapped for over 10 hours at home without food from Friday midnight when the Nargis, which occurred on the Bay of Bengal, stormed the under-developed old capital.


The terrible cyclone, at a wind speed of about 192 kilometers per hour, has almost totally devastated the former capital.


Major infrastructures related to municipality, telecommunications, transport, electric power and water supply as well as private apartment buildings were hard hit by the severe cyclone.


Observers here estimate that it needs years of endeavors to rebuild the city.


On Friday midnight, the Nargis started to emerge amid warning. As the storm wind became stronger, people woke up to witness the onslaught of the cyclone all night. With wind blowing sound turning louder, many zinc roofs atop various buildings were torn off one after another, falling on streets amid the heavy rain.


Windows were crushed, satellite dishes were stricken to deformation, dropping from atop.


Almost all giant commercial advertisement signboards were even blown to pieces scattering on the streets. Unable to withstand the strong wind, many big and old-aged trees on the streets, gardens and private residences fell one after another, turning Yangon into a forest city overnight.


The storm also cut off electricity in the city. Buses stopped running and all flight and train schedules were suspended.


The Nargis has lashed coastal regions of the country's southwestern Ayeyawaddy division since Friday morning, covering Haing Gyi Island, Pathein, Myaungmya, Laputta, Mawlamyinegyun, Kyaiklat, Phyarpon and Bogalay. The State Radio confirmed in a night broadcast that some of these areas were almost totally destroyed.


Up to five vessels capsized in the Yangon Port, and an investigation is underway for casualties and loss. Meanwhile, Myanmar declared three divisions Yangon, Bago and Ayeyawaddy and two states Kayin and Mon as natural-disaster-hit regions.


A national central committee for prevention of natural disaster was also formed with Prime Minister General Thein Sein as Chairman to promptly and effectively carry out relief and resettlement tasks.
