In the dark...

Burma needs urgent help

More is always less for Myanmar’s military government. And they still have the gall to consider extending the house arrest of world famous leader and 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner Daw Aung Suu Kyi and gnash their teeth at the international community for meddling in their affairs! As per the latest update, Suu Kyi’s confinement may be extended. The whole drama has come up just days before her five year long house arrest was supposed to end. Apparently, an uninvited American visitor swam to the house where she was placed under house arrest and pleaded that he be allowed to stay for a while as he was exhausted. Suu Kyi allowed him to stay for 2 days, for which charges of violating the house arrest have been pressed on her.

Well, nothing much better can be expected from a government, which has been in power with sheer use of force. While Myanmar has declared elections by early next year, Suu Kyi has clear approval ratings from the people of Burma. But if Suu Kyi’s period of detention is extended, which in all probability would happen, then there is chance that the country would be forced to languish under the military rule for more time.
