Burma again

Journal Entry: Fri May 16, 2008, 4:34 AM
MONITOR CALIBRATION: (link has instructions)


A quick update as I'm bringing this mornings work to a close. I've got the news on and amazingly, I'm hearing that the Burmese authorities have declared that the international relief operation is over - it's no longer needed.

This kind of government action can only be ridiculed, were it not for the gravity of the situation and were it not for the fact that literally hundreds of thousands of people will suffer and many will die, as a consequence of their absurd policy.

On a similar theme, I've just seen some new footage from China. I'm not a supporter, nor a news addict - it's far too depressing. The reporter said that the local police didn't want to them filming on account of either the reporter's safety, or because they don't want the outside world to see the full state of the destruction, is open to interpretation.

Governments curtailing freedom and keeping their internal affairs away from the eyes of the world in "normal" times is one thing. Trying to minimise or hide the destruction of the most powerful earthquake in the region for 30 years, is pointless and surely cannot help anyone caught up in the current situation.

I don't expect that either government will change tack overnight, nor as a result - that the disease and suffering which will inevitably follow, will be avoided.

Fu*kers.
