Cyclone Nargis has already taken the lives of several hundred thousand Burmese. Exact number of death caused by cyclone will never be known to all of us, as Burmese Junta seems to be busy counting the lost of livestock, with very impressive statistics of dead Chicken, Ducks and Cows, revealed to the shocked local and international media during a press conference.

While estimated two to two and a half million survivors of cyclone desperately hang on their lives, Military Junta of Burma, and International community were at loggerhead, unable to get an agreement how to save the lives for those who were in immediate danger.

Cyclone Nargis has revealed the real nature of who is who, for the sake of Burmese people.

Burmese Junta announced referendum approved, but with absolute zero credibility

Historic Moment

Latest AP news said, Burmese Military Junta has announced that, draft constitution was approved by, 92.4 percent of 22 million eligible voters.

Burmese people were forced to vote at gun point, under supervision of club wielding pro Junta Thugs. But the credibility of the outcome of Junta guided Referendum was washed away with Cyclone Nargis.

Do not make a mistake that this blogger is politicising the humanitarian issue of a catastrophic disaster. The truth was,the fact that Junta had stubbornly continued with so called their road map to disciplined democracy, by refusing to postpone the date of referendum.International community have witnessed , with shock and awe, how was a catastrophic national disaster, being managed by Generals.

US Plane has landed, but Burmese Generals shamelessly exploiting the Cyclone tragedy

This blogger tried to check Myanmar Government Official Website (www.myanmar.gov.mm)

to see what Myanmar Government has to say about the recent Cyclone Tragedy, but nothing was there, nothing at all about Catastrophic Disaster in Myanmar!

Again he tried to read the on line Myanmar News paper, New light of Myanmar, which automatically directed to www.myanmar.com, however newspaper updates were abruptly stopped on 2nd may, (this web page is believed to be from US, mirror site for Myanmar Generals.)It seems that the web master has no important news after 2nd of May! Only Image of Than Shwe welcoming Thein Sein back home from a trip to Thailand.

Finally this blogger tried MRTV3 homepage, from Nay Pyi Taw, the Jungle capital of Myanmar. After waiting for 35 minutes, this blogger was able to read the following news from today New Light Of Myanmar Newspaper !.

The above news in Burmese language said PM Gen Thein Sein Inspecting the transfer of International aids to boats at a Jetty in Rangoon. Recent local news said Thein Sein was even shown in TV footage carrying donated aids boxes to army helicopters by himself. Is that a Job of Prime Minister in National Emergency?

When this blogger was in Burma as a child, this job of checking workers carrying cargo to boats along Irrawaddy river was done by the clerks of river boats.

(သေဘၤာစာေရးတေဃာက္ထဲ နဲ႔ႁပီးပါတယ္။)

Burmese Generals were even not fulfilled their duty as soldiers, that they were trained for, in recent Cyclone Disaster. Useless in pre-, during, and post- disaster management, poor logistic, and infrastructure of Burmese Army was obvious to the whole world as there were no soldiers to be seen immediately after Cyclone.

There were no heavy machinery like cranes, bulldozers from army engineering units during Rangoon cleaning. Air Force and navy transport capability was ridiculous for the army boasted with 400,000 soldiers.

However, the Generals seems to know , how to put their name over international aids consignments. While blocking international aids, that cause the long Que of air crafts and ships from donor countries waiting in neighbouring countries, the Generals were shamelessly exploiting the goodwill of civilized people of all over the world towards Burmese Cyclone victim.

This blogger’s last question is ‘ where is junta supremo Sr Gen Than Shwe of Burma ?

Time for humanitarian intervention, Burma Cyclone Crisis

Within last two hours, wire news were sending mixed messages from Burma. Initial report was UN halted aids, then resumed, probably with Junta’s conditions.The message was very clear to all out there to help Burmese people; that is, Military Junta does not care for the Million of lives.

Their priority is to stay in power forever. All Burmese who’s mouth are able to open and speak because there are lucky enough to be away from Burma, agree that this is the high time for UN to lead the humanitarian intervention.

Updated 18/07/2008

Now, time has come to delete the photos of those unfortunate victims of Cyclone Nargis as all of them deserve to die with dignity.

As I have mentioned clearly in the following original post about posting the dead body for the sake of drawing attention of the readers for the humanitarian crisis of Cyclone Nargis victims .

This blogger is very upset after seeing the enlarged photos of dead bodies of three children tied together, because their parents were afraid that they might be swept away by the high tide during (12 feet, wind speed 190 mile/hr)the onslaught of Cyclone Nargis.

A comment in CBox of Blogger Klosayhtoo said

အေမ: ညီအစ္ကို ၃ေယာက္ လြတ္ထြက္သြားမွာစိုးလို ့ၾကိဳးေတြခ်ည္ရင္း အသက္ဆံုးရံႈးေနတဲ့ပံုကို ၾကည့္ရင္း အေမ မ်က္ရည္က်တယ္ သားရယ္

Mother.. I was crying when I saw the bodies of three brothers tied together to prevent them from being swept away by tidal waves!

This blogger does not want readers to see the dead victims of Nargis Cyclone. Most of them were decomposed and some were very young children. The purpose of this link with due respect to the dead, and their loved ones, is for all the readers, to pray for the dead as well as those are still alive but struggling for survival.

Another important reason for this post is Military Junta of Burma has declined to accept the International Aids and emergency disaster helps that could save, several thousand lives for their own selfish paranoid delusion. So please help Burmese people . Linlakkyalsin is a very outstanding blogger and activist from Singapore and you can find the group accepting donation and update of donation in her blog.

Help Cyclone Nagis Victims of Burma!
