Now, it is fascinating to see how quickly picked up the ineffable horrors that the Burmese government has been subjecting it's people for a very long time only after the media pressured Burma to accept foreign aid to alleviate the suffering of the Cyclone Nargis, but this was a very insubstantial symbol indeed.
After all, the human rights abuses have been perpetrated for almost 50 years since Ne Win, a leader of a military junta, illegally stole power from the "democratic" elected government. However, compared to what will follow, the previous government would constitute a democracy, but compared to other democracies, it was very weak indeed.
In the immediate aftermath of the otherthrow of the democracy, Ne Win and his conspirators begin to institute press and media censorships, perfect black holes to acquire immunity and impunity for all subsequent actions, which prove to be the vilest since Hitler and before the Khmer Rouge and certainly comprable to other mass murderers in every continent. Under his leadership the army began to coordinate nefarious machinations against the minority groups of his country, killing his own people due to their dissidence to the government, due to their underrepresentation and marginalization.

These videos speak in violet, unforgetable, grisly, heartbreaking and show the full depravity of the Tatmadaw(the Burmese internal military analogous to our US Army) and they show a side of Burma, even those who are aware of the country, know much about, and their images are more expressive, emotional and otherwise, of the full scale emotional and physical devastation of the country and speak on a higher plain then I could possibly even begin to express.
Now, I am not just posting empty words, if you have a conscience, heart and/or awareness of this country and feel enough is enough, join my Burma group on google, burma-watchers@gmail.com and end this !
