Anniversary of the Saffron Revolution


It has been a year since the Saffron Revolution. What happend thereafter? 
Myanmar suffered from cylone Nargis with more than 2ooK people dead. Aids from various international organizations were blocked and everybody (well, not sure about China) condemned the military govt. 

No response. 

The Nargis event was the most obvious and direct effect of how dictatorial leadership can cause disaster. If the regime is more relax on information, less people would suffer and the number would not be this high. Because media in Myanmar were restricted, people have not much chance to receive any information including the cyclone warning.  

We can see that people's voices are getting louder these days.  Let's hope that change will come soon.
