They Call It Myanmar: Lifting The Curtain

Yesterday I rent a video from San Jose Library called: "They Call It Myanmar - Lifting The Curtain". It reminds me many scenes of Myanmar. The pictures of Villages and the powers of Cyclone Nargis kept brought me back a memory of peaceful peoples and their sufferings and endurance. 
This film published on 2012. A hoping reform just started. I pray for a better future for the people who loves Myanmar as their Mother Land.  I share this film with you, because it touched me deeply in my heart, I couldn't resist my urges to share with my friends in this Love4Burma blog. Even though you may not have a chance to step in the land of Myanmar, but you can experience it in the movie and pray for them.

Myanmar: 47 soldiers dead in clashes with Kokang

Myanmar's state-run newspaper says 47 government soldiers have died over the past 4 days in fighting with ethnic militants.

The Global New Light of Myanmar said on Friday clashes between government troops and Kokang rebels have flared up this week in the Shan state in the east. It borders China.

Myanmar's military carried out airstrikes. They apparently inflicted heavy casualties on the minority group.

Thousands of residents have reportedly taken refuge in China's Yunnan Province.

Civil war in Myanmar between the military and minority groups has been ongoing for more than five decades. But they recently made some progress in peace talks.

The biggest point in the talks is the introduction of a federal system. It would give minority groups strong autonomy as the nation moves toward democracy.

The government appears to desire peace. But sporadic fighting continues with the Kachin ethnic group in the north, as well as the Kokang group.
