MONK POWER IN MYANMAR


To have 100,000 courageous people marching through the streets in one of the most repressive country in the world is simply awe inspiring. The initial quiet protest of a few hundred saffron cladded monks in Yangon, Myanmar was hardly news worthy. However, in one short week the momentum and ground swell of the protest has surged to an incredible 100,000 people. People’s Power in Myanmar has reawaken and reached a crucial threshold. Are we witnessing the dawn of a new chapter in the history of Myanmar? What unfolds in the next few weeks will determine the fate of the nation.

The students lead protest 19 years ago was brutally crushed. Crack down by the military junta had already started yesterday with 4 people reported killed. How much more blood will be spilled on the streets of Myanmar. How many more martyrs has to be sacrificed before the regime is brought to its knees by the sheer will of the people. History tells us that the indomitable spirit of the people cannot be repressed forever. Truth, justice and freedom will ultimately prevail. It is only a matter of time. If this current wave of protest fails to uproot the repressive regime, the next successive wave of people’s power will be a tsunami that wipes out all these scum bags and criminals to humanity from the face of this earth.

Nelson Mandela was kept behind bars for 27 long years in his fight against Apartheid and for the freedom of his people. He survived the incarceration to become the first black president of South Africa. Will we see Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi rightfully restored as the first lady president of Democratic Myanmar.?
