THE BURMA ARMY: A HOUSE OF CARDS

January 17, 2010

Please forward.


We have a new article, Than Shwe's Strategy, which describes the dictator of Burma's plan to stay in power, and how the pro-democracy movement can make it fail. Than Shwe's hold on power now is actually quite weak. The Burma Army is a House of Cards. It is ready to fall - to collapse upon itself. All this requires is a little push.

We also have photos of the country's armed resistance, which is actively preparing to fight, and an Army order describing the Border Guard Force, which many of the ceasefire resistance groups refuse to accept; as well as two revolutionary fliers that Dictator Watch helped distribute inside Burma in the run-up to the 2007 Saffron Uprising, to illustrate the types of revolutionary materials that underground groups and individuals should be publishing nationwide right now.
