No Excuse for Violence: Obama Tells Burma

M16 aren't a great weapon,it jams frequently.you have to push it,thrush it.
not ideal for battle,if that happens in a critical situation,you're dead.

Well, you have to clean it often to avoid that scenario. Things like that often happened back in the Vietnam War when M-16s were being distributed for the first time. The things getting jammed in the middle of a fight is what killed many American soldiers.

Of-course, it has improved over time, and served well in rest of the wars.

It is more accurate than the Ak-47, but less powerful. Though, that is not to say it isn't lethal.

It's a good rifle, overall. But like everything, it has its drawbacks.
 
I saw a documentary,Afghan army yelling for ak-47.
they are complaining americans took all good weapon from them,and gave them good for nothing junk :D
 
Without going into the plight of the Rohingyas, one fact is that if insurgency starts in arakan with ties in BD, its not good news for BD irrespective of the outcome in Arakan. Religion is a genie that does not go back into the bottle easily.

Yep, it's true.

This isn't about religion as such...it's about basic rights...about people's homes being burnt, children being killed, denial of the right to marriage etc. Just like 71 was.

Or Kosova was.

Oh come on most posters are already calling them mujahids. And it IS abt religion. Do you expect bd and pakistanis getting so inflamed over problems faced by christian and buddhist groups in burma?

The fact is that the Rohingas will be pushed out of their ancestral lands if something is not done. Whether BD would give a rat's a** if they were not Muslim is frankly irrelevant.

This sort of ethnic cleansing is unacceptable these days and the Myanmarese regime should not be able to get away with this.

Anyway, I think that the issue with eventually be resolved by the break-up of the non-viable Myanmar and Arakan, or at the least the Muslim, part with become a part of Bangladesh.

Lol no you are not getting anymore land. Not in myanmar. Not in assam. The days of using religion to grab land also callrd religious imperiLism are over. If you have humanitarian intentions it does not show.

Since u r a big china lover pls note china or asean will not allow such a joke to be played on myanmar. I do hope bd is not as deluded as pakistan.
 
Do you really think that your poxy open sewer of a country, who are only good for making cheap t-shirts, will have any material say in the internal affairs of Myanmar? Do you think BD has the wherewithal to start supporting this group and that and invading here and there? You are a bastard puppet of India and you can barely feed your own festering mass of 180million human detritus. Be thankful that a more radical regime in Myanmar didn't wipe you from the map. Arakan secession? Independent Muslim state in the Union? Idiots!


LOL.

First, BD has around 150 million people, NOT 180 million. Population growth is now quite stable at around 1% growth a year.

Yes, garments are the primary export basket but no harm is using this to get the required revenues/capital while other industries are built up such as pharmaceuticals, shipbuilding and IT.

GDP is growing at over 6% a year and the IMF expects an average of 7% a year for this decade. BD will be a greatly stronger country economically in the next decade. It will be one that could build a formidable military if it so chose to - certainly vastly more capable than Myanmar.

Myanmar is not a viable state in the long run as it is a South East Asian Yugoslavia and it is inevitable that at least the Muslim part of Arakan, if not the whole of it, will merge with BD in the long run.

Dude.. you dont know what you talking about.. Our export volume of t-shirt is half of total GDP of Myanmar. And our total export/import volume is bigger than the GDP of Myanmar. WE can just take over the whole burma by only $hitting on your border.. ;)

1. Kindly read your true history written by someone not commissioned by the Junta. The Burmese have perhaps been the most cruel, rapacious, destructive and blood-thirsty people that has existed on the globe. No exaggerations there. This is the fact.

2. In her book, The Freedom From Fear, the Junta showpiece and Western proxy, Aunag San Suu Kyi states that whenever the Burman race found themselves powerful they went out to ravage the adjoining areas - from Assam-Bengal to the lower Mekong valley. And when that power waned, they withdrew into their homeland - the central highland of seven civil divisions.

3. Again note, when the English Co was led into Aarkan with the Arakan Light Infantry in the vanguard, your great general Bandoola was defeated and killed. The King of Ava had no hesitation in signing away Arkan to the English Co. Similar was with Southern Burma. The Burmese monarch had no problem in handing over something that belong to him. However when Burma itself was occupied King Thibu refused to sign any such accession to the English. As such the GG at Calcutta had issue a Proclamation to annex Burma which then became a province of India.

4. Burma, in her own greater interest, should allow the Arakanese to hold a referendum to decide their fate. Btw, the Rakhine Buddhists have detested the Burmans ever since the latter took away the Lord Buddha's idol, the Mohamuni. If there is no pressure / conspiracy from the Burmese, the Rakhines will find a way out to live with fellow Rohingya Muslims.

Send in the monks! !!!
 
1. Ignore the Burmese troll.

Burma is a country which has boy soldiers in its "army" and has not been able to defeat Kachin rebels after 1 year and a half.

Recently a Burmese soldier killed himself incorrectly using artillery.

2. @fateh71 the government of Bangladesh has no territorial designs on Burma. To be quite frank Bangladeshis are not a people with great national self-esteem (thus we have so many Indian and Pakistani-dalals who seek "greatness" by embracing a "greater" power) and thus are not like those countries that do and seek to "re-incorporate" so-called lost territories or expand their size. Bangladeshi embassy officials in other countries do not even give a dam about ordinary Bangladeshi citizens.

The only thing Bangladeshi regimes (be they BNP or BAL) really care about is the burden of having 1/2 a million (or a million? not sure) Rohingya refugees on our land.

If Rohingyas get their pre-1982 citizenship back in Burma then everything is solved.

Even now the government are wooing Burma, flights between Dhaka to Yangon started recently, deals are looking to be made etc.

The Awami League in particular hate Rohingyas...yes hate, not just apathetic or even hostile, but hate.

If however there were to be a more right-wing nationalist government at the most we would do what Thailand does and that is provide support to Rohingya resistance groups to expel the Burmese junta from their land, that is all.

If India tomorrow could do something that would secure the basic rights of 0.8 million Rohingyas within the framework of the Burmese nation-state, I would support that. For me this is about basic rights.

Burmese army launches air strikes on northern rebels


Burma's army has launched air strikes in recent days against ethnic rebels as it fights to regain one of its bases from the Kachin Independence Organisation, government sources said Wednesday, amid an escalation in clashes.
By News Wires (text)

Myanmar's army has used air strikes against northern ethnic rebels, sources from both sides said Wednesday, in an escalation of a conflict that has raised doubts over the country's reform drive.

Fighting between the country's military, known as the 'Tatmadaw', and the armed wing of the KIO (Kachin Independence Organisation) has worsened in recent days as the army battled to regain one of its bases, a government negotiator involved in peace efforts told AFP.

"We heard the military used helicopters and training jets while trying to get their camp back," said Hla Maung Shwe, who is also an adviser to President Thein Sein.

He declined to specify how the aircraft were used, but a report on the military's Burmese language Myawaddy news website said a key base had been seized from the rebels on December 30 "with the help of air strikes in the region".

Tens of thousands of people have been displaced since June 2011, when a 17-year ceasefire between the government and Kachin rebels broke down.

The rebels are calling for greater political rights and an end to alleged human rights abuses by the army.

Clashes in Kachin, along with communal unrest in western Rakhine state, have cast a shadow over Myanmar's widely praised emergence from decades of army rule.

KIO deputy chief of foreign affairs Colonel James Lum Dau said that the fighting in Kachin had become "more serious" since last week, adding that it was concentrated in an area about seven miles (11 kilometres) from the rebel headquarters in Laiza on the Chinese border.

"Before they (attacked) with helicopters, now they are using jets with rockets and bombs," he said.

AFP was not able to independently verify whether the jets had been used to fire on the rebels.

A close observer of the situation, who asked not to be named, said there had been a "marked escalation" in fighting.

"They are firing a lot from helicopter gunships and using heavy artillery. It has been very close to the KIO headquarters," he said.

Civil war has gripped parts of Myanmar since independence from Britain in 1948.

Myanmar's new quasi-civilian government has reached tentative ceasefires with most of the country's other major ethnic rebel groups, but several rounds of talks aimed at resolving the conflict in the country's far north have shown little tangible progress.

Government spokesman Zaw Htay, who declined to give details of the latest fighting, said the Kachin rebels had not responded to an invitation for further dialogue.

The UN recently appealed to Myanmar to stop blocking aid to tens of thousands of displaced people in rebel-held territory in Kachin.

Burmese army launches air strikes on northern rebels - BURMA - FRANCE 24





The Burmese army lost one of their bases to the rag-tag Kachin militia and are now using heavy artillery, helicopters and 4 fighter jets to take back one base.

This is just one rebel army fighting, if the other 4-5 major rebel armies launched a joint war against the Burmese junta they would make Burma the new Syria, the Burmese capital could even fall to the rebels.
