[국제][뉴스큐] Myanmar’s’Blood Sunday’… the international community with only voices of criticism?

This is Myanmar last Sunday.

One had a gun, but the other shield was all wooden boards and wet blankets.

People who bleed after being shot, people who groan after being shot with tear gas… It was a clamor.

One lesser nun knelt toward an armed military policeman.

The worst bloodshed has occurred since the military coup on the 1st of last month.

Up to now, about 30 protesters have been victimized by military and police force suppression.

Listen to the stories of local Myanmar residents who participated in the protests on Sunday.

So the damage was great, and it was a more frightening day because there were more victims because it wasn’t like shooting in the sky even when shooting a live ammunition, but *targeting and killing people*.

Myanmar citizens are crying out and asking the international community for help.

The international community is also condemning the Myanmar military

Looking closer, it is difficult to come up with a solution due to complex interests.

Myanmar’s military in the past had the same ideology as a socialist system.

It relied heavily on investment from China, which is also geographically close.

However, there was a limit to economic development, and investment from the West such as the United States and Europe was urgent.

From that time on, the US step that required a check on China has accelerated.

At that time, the Myanmar military also sent appreciation gestures to the United States, including the release of political prisoners.

The President of the United States at the time of Obama also visited Myanmar for the first time in history, promising economic support and demanding democratic reform.

At that time, I met with Mrs. Suu Kyi and empowered the democratic forces.

And through the 2015 general election, the civil government of Myanmar was launched,

The military was able to maintain power through ties with the United States.

But as long as the military initiated a coup,

The United States has no other option other than economic sanctions.

Even if economic sanctions are imposed, the Myanmar military and China may be closer if wrong.

China is in the mood to watch the Myanmar situation from the beginning.

China aims to create a one-to-one route, a land and sea Silk Road that connects China, Central Asia and Europe.

Myanmar is a key country in the Maritime Silk Road Initiative.

It may be easier for the military to communicate with the US than for the civilian government.

When I think of the bloodshed in Myanmar, I feel that the interests of the international community are bitter.

Even in the guns, the citizens of Myanmar are raising their three fingers for freedom, election and democracy.

Today, Myanmar’s military is making its first official statement to the international community.

We cannot stand on the sidelines of the civilian sacrifices of any interest.

This is why the international community needs to come out as soon as possible.
