While the people plead for food, the junta is handing out TV sets
Friday, 09 May 2008 00:08
"People have just one set of clothes; some are even wearing jute bags.
There is not enough drinking water. There are no sanitation facilities
whatsoever. Many people have wounds that are not being attended. The
estimated number of people in these 26 camps is 100,000."
Sheri Villarosa, the senior US diplomat in Burma, said she feared the
death toll could reach 100,000.
But despite the obvious suffering, massive devastation and pressing need
for urgent action, the Burmese authorities were continuing to insist
yesterday that everything was under control. On the front page of the
New Light of Myanmar – a state-run government publication – was a
picture of the Prime Minister, Thein Sein, handing over 20 television
sets and 10 DVD players as part of the "relief" operation. This, in a
region where there has been no electricity since the 130mph storm struck.

critical job at a pivotal time in the fight against Al Qaeda and the
Taliban in Pakistan’s tribal areas.
But nearly two months later, the military has quietly canceled the
assignment of General Hood, a 33-year Army veteran who was excoriated in
the Pakistani news media for one of his previous jobs: commander of the
United States prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
