Myanmar junta requests aid after deadly floods: ‘They use aid for weapons’ • FRANCE 24 English

share



Myanmar’s junta chief made a rare request Saturday for foreign aid to cope with deadly floods that have displaced hundreds of thousands of people who have already endured three years of war. the request, however, is unlikely to be sincere according to Dr. Sasa, Myanmar’s exiled national unity government minister for international cooperation, who pointed to a similar demand back in 2008 after Cyclone Nargis killed more than 100,000 people. Authorities used the relief provided by other countries as weapons, Sasa said.

  1. Dear all friends! Rapid response rescue is far different than politic blame game. It's very viral to facilitate urgent support for victims from flood. We are supposed to help the victims as much as we can. If you aware of One Health topic in medical domain. If has happened a natural disaster: we have to just considered under one scope for Humans Animals and Environment. It was how to help. Not political ideology. Thanks. @FRANCE 24 English

  2. With all due respect Sir! Western governments are always ready to create the political conflict and
    pour the fuel to worsen the situation, but
    they always hesitate to help the people who are suffering from the natural disaster.

  3. All people who said not supposed to sand the aid are living outside Myanmar.
    These same people including this man Dr Sa Sa himself couldn't stand without fund from western countries.
    It's not personal.

  4. Just donate to religious organizations like the catholic church they are doing relief goods distributions to the flood victims

  5. SaSa is lying.
    He really doesn't know about the flooded area.

  6. They use the dam as a weapon. International agencies must understand this is politics.

  7. Sasa you do nothing. Why?

  8. Myanmar is strong.

  9. Burmese need the international aid and right of Dr SA SA thanks you

  10. May God bless you all in the name of jesus Christ saviour 🙏

  11. We need Denocracy and our leaders, Aung Sun Suu Kyi, President U Win Myint and many many protesters. Our leaders must solve many problems.

  12. 😢😢😢

  13. Dont need to be confused. Just look at the comments under video. What the 99 percent of peopel saying is the truth.

  14. A big suspect that junta made dam drainage to cause flood

  15. Dr.SaSa is telling the truth
    Myanmar people greatly suffer and help each other
    Junta only asking for their own benefits

  16. Thank you, Dr. Sa Sa. We are standing by you.

  17. It’s so heartbreaking to see the country situation in this way. International community should do something at this point. Definitely to the root cause – military dictatorship.

  18. Thank you Sa Sa
    Your sounds ourMyanmar civilian feel very badly
    Free Myanmar from Military Junta!

  19. Actually, Although military junta is requesting the internation help, they are not real willing to help the civilian because even some of the area in the county are flooding, they are still doing to kill the some civilian area of the country with their fighter jets at the same time. so who will believe that they will really want to take the opportunities to stay and peace inside the county. that is so simple to know their behavior and thinking ways
