5:34 pm

5:35 pm
a huge clamp down and then protesting became very dangerous. all. wow. there was a covey. 19 pandemic volunteers from a few days ago. the, let me just share their experiences. we have a lot of listen for. there are not enough fallen tears to carry dead bodies. we are running our service without resting today. we have already sent 40 dead bodies to crematorium. oh, i don't know. lucy wanted to save human lives and we don't want to see people in this situation. we used to send patients to hospitals and with ask them which hospital do you want to go to? now it's difference. when we receive incoming calls, now we ask which cemetery will you go to? well, i guess i have family in me and me all right. now we're in festival for you, your perspective on what is happening with the coated, 19 pandemic, a me and today i would say it's a very heartbreaking and devastating situation for us because we were already going
5:36 pm
through the cruise with, you know, ongoing human rights violations, every day since february the 1st and now the code, the crisis docket, and every day we can use about relatives and family member or friends dying. and there are more than 5400 political detainees in prison. and we have very worried for their health because there are, there is also an outbreak of clarity cases in prison. and of course the military has no desire to manage this outbreak at all. and it's media from the moment for all of us. what evidence have you seen mean that the military is exasperating the situation rather than trying to alleviate it? men. okay, so for me, there are 3 things i would like to urge. what my waiting said. first of all, you know, it means and people can protest we help regions. and 2nd country is weaponized the
5:37 pm
health crisis to target doctors and activists and impose more restrictions. and also it's also another fabulous way to prevent international like accountability because due to travel restrictions adopted, those very limited access from international organizations and government to, to actually witness what is going on in the ground. i'm just looking at my laptop moves our me amal shadow government forms cove at 19 task force. tell me a little bit more about that and what is possible as a shadow government not even empower right now. what are you able to do? what government is trying to help the people is at the county. she was all of all and networks for the been that was simple than me. so we tried to reach out to people to some some channels,
5:38 pm
even online channels as well. and we are trying to cooperate with the ethnic health organizations, which also trying to walk on to health care and education programs. so that's why we try to form that comedy call to cope it. 19 talks force and walk to get out to deal with this problem. and i'm trying to understand the extent of the covered 19 pandemic, m e m. o. and it's difficult for me to get my head around because then we were looking to a military government to get those accurate figures from them. and even countries that have a democratic government, having trouble getting figures. but this is the government leader, the military government leader speaking about trying to get vaccines, have a listen, have a look. that whatever i will when you are at the re requested that we buy vaccines from russia. when i met with our defense minister and chief secretary, they have taken attention and given us
5:39 pm
a commitment to provide the 2000000 doses i requested. russia has no capacity to produce all the vaccine doses at once. because they provide to many countries worldwide. they said some vaccine doses will arrive this month. it would be more than $10000.00 for us as we go. $10000.00 in a country of approximately $53000000.00 people way and it's a, it, it sounded like it was a problem about accessed vaccines. but there's so much more going on than that. i mean, you know, a lot of arguments or some people say that the military doesn't have the capacity to deal with this coded outbreak. but in reality, we have seen that, for example, they arrested the head of the nation program and the government to fall in. and she's now in prison and now tested positive for co that. and they also arrested
5:40 pm
her husband and son. you know, they are now released, but it shows there are, you know, repeated patents showing from the military that they have no desire to deal with it . and as a good man said, you know, they are using it as outbreak as a weapon against the civilian in the country. and i'm sure other families can share more of your insight on this as well. i am going to go 1st to money who is a human rights watch research. and she really focuses in on this idea as using of using covered 19 as a weapon. have a listen, have a look, and then min, please respond immediately of the back. this video, thank i wrote the human rights situation in my is really deteriorating with thousands of people who've been arbitrarily detained. and 900 people have been killed since the 2 of those. i think 65 has
5:41 pm
been sentenced to death. but the response to that has been really nice is mainly because of the overall demonstration that the credit the to ation is creating right now. and of course, the lack of access to health care that people have because medical professionals are being targeted by something like 600 medical workers are trying to evade arrest and job. they have a risk for them. yeah, it was recently think last week in the news the security forces, they posed as corporate patients and they contacted the military doctors and the volunteers to come to live with did any help. so the doctors and the volunteer and the medical doctors when the and then the rest of them. so that is just one example . how the military is weaponized in the health crisis to correct on activities, military doctors, and other military,
5:42 pm
a personal participating in the stadium movement rules our the live nations have called for a coven ceasefire and me and mom. can you explain to us how serious the situation is for the general population? the situation. so the printer does very, very see this because i would say one or 2 people sits for the for the team could be positive. so for the debate is very high, very high, and the depth talk is also very high in the county and in general, and don't more than one thoughts and what is happening created in the could get on the printer again. so the situation is very serious. i want to point out another factor in the prison as far as i thought the newsprint presumes, almost all the,
5:43 pm
all of the prisoners interfaces have been effective with 19. so could just also procedure. so i was very much worried about the situation is that the prince present the we would like to us that the, all the political prisoners should be produced immediately. just going to show our audience this insane prison strike launch this morning. we can hear and feel the awful and conquering dedication of our people locked up in the taurus insane prison . and with this list, let me just play this for you. you about christmas from inside the prison. how now they are and i mean, can you help us remind our audience who a lot of the, you prisoners, all in insane prison. these are protest is that we saw in february march,
5:44 pm
correct. these are, these are the 2 testers, student activist, human rights defenders. medical doctors, any, any, any protests we've seen on the street, and then yes, they're putting in, i mean, not only in prison, but also in other states and regions as well into a new respective presence. this looking hammer, again on my laptop, me and mar hunter, freeze political prisoners, and journalists not with the, not all the journalists, not all of the political prisoners. can you explain to us wayne, in what is happening in terms of, of, in military government. now, just consolidating their power, well, i wouldn't call it a military government because it's still a military crew. and after 6 months, they still haven't been able to consolidate the policy at all though, with the coby crisis and ongoing arrest and killing civilians, the protest continue in different parts of the country. people are still coming out
5:45 pm
protesting. i mean, even people in fi in prison, older they are being in prison. they are protesting against the military because we all know that the countrywide we know that military, the rude cost for all the problems and that talk to we have in the country of course cove it as a disaster itself. but the military made it way, was by not managing it. and also, you know, keep arresting people. and he is placing ethnic minorities and ethnic in ethnic areas and keep, you know, committing human rights while ations across the country. so i would say the military is not a military government because we have the shadow government. we have the national unity government and we have, you know, people who are still resisting that military crew, which started from february the 1st military have, have, have dubbed himself a state administration counsel mingo ad you see like just like due to a, to
5:46 pm
a few years to support, we do that. so that is true if you will, almost 6 months in after the coo and then the country. it is in total cases, he can only shut down, talk about shudder, thousands of people being arrested. and then many people lost the souls and then and then broke out of it. and then what are, what are they doing? like there's even no such, there's not even not one thing that, that we can say that they can run the government. so there's, i mean, so like i said, i don't know, i don't even want to use the word misery government. it's been a hunter. i don't even get even even in burmese. i don't use the water for example, like i'm not sure just are you. so we don't know unless you're not, we up. yes, i would have to point out one thing that is very important because to address the topic like this political nathan, it's a trust trust between the government and the people. so that is gonna cover. but
5:47 pm
until like within set and then there is no trust between the people under me to do so. so it would be difficult, very difficult to adjust that kind of content because this time i don't want to pile on, on the, on the list of challenges happening for the people. a, me, ma, but another one is about how many people being displaced right now. because of the ongoing conflict between the military hunter, the state administration council, however, you want to describe this company power right now, a, me, a mall and protest is who want to return to some form of democracy to these displays. people muse our help us understand where they all, how are you able to help them as a shadow government? as far as i know, it is estimated more than 200000 people have been displaced because of some conflicts. i have been in a cross country. so they are from
5:48 pm
a state brokercheck state from chance state and even in the states. so there are a lot of disputes in different part of the countries. so now we're trying to reach out to these people through about different networks and provide some assistance because the situation committed to situations up all of these people very, very worrying. so they got to live inside the forest, hiding it without any food, any medical care they did, they did not go to their for because they afraid to be punished or originated by the military security forces. so the state and county. so the situation is very wiring and just looking here, a huge thanking people on youtube for being part of this program. there's the
5:49 pm
question about the re kinda, what is the situation now? and also i want to bring in another thought from a video comment that we have just lined it up just now that you can hear from the representative of the ranger in the united kingdom. haven't even have a look regarding on the new do you close the paper? i believe it is positive for what, but much more clear if occasion needed from national unity government. one thing that, you know, i would like to mention here earlier where we got the night as an ethnic group oberman before 962 military power i've done, i do says due to military coup, our ethnic groups were taken away. and so now n u d should clearly need you should clarify that
5:50 pm
earlier will have the same rights like other ethnic groups of burma any g, the national unity government, the shadow government that is working remotely right out because of the qu, mike wanted to know about the perspective for a better future, the prospects for a better future. so we have, will their situation improve like to concert? we reduced a statement on john that the policy statement on the router people. so before we don't start statement, we tried to reach out to the community, the leaders of the people who came trying to explain our statements. so most of the community leaders of the range of people welcomed statement in a subject that was to them like all of the policies that we laid out. so there are
5:51 pm
some states, some criticism, the policy policy statement. but i want to say that what we are going to do is to establish a federal credit union and to bring the boxes back to our country. so together we will be able to solve all of this, all of these problems all go together. so 1st of all, we need to be in power to be frank with you. so this tells us news news. the bring the book back to albert county, then we give it to establish a federal student in which all the groups enjoy people's lives together. when you're doing is, you know, you're making an appeal to the international community. and i'm wondering if the international community listening and acting have a listen. how look at this video comment. so what we see right now in me and with the re introduction of death sentences, the reposition of martial law,
5:52 pm
the brutal repression on the weapon zation of the pandemic is a combination of lethal injustice, lethal violence and lethal neglect. tragically, this is nothing new in me, in the military, they kill, they allow people to die, they torture because they can't tolerate dissent. the counselor ate disobedience, the counselors criticism, and they want power. obviously, the international community needs to keep its attention on mamma. but this is not enough, i think regional and international diplomacy need a serious rebuke. we simply can't allow torture and killing to become normalized devontae foreign minister. how, how for you that when you appeal for assistance, is anyone listening? so we have called all the international community to make our jennifer dip into passion,
5:53 pm
a based on some duty on caroll because the situation inside of the country is very serious. so now i think it initially, when it should consider about the situation very seriously, because the mac up the country that spread the new baby in 90 to the region. why do i need to discuss with me today as well? so it is not an internal affair. animals, so it initiative and if you should consider that about that very seriously. mean you are sitting in a conversation with the deputy foreign minister of the national unity government, a shadow government. what is the question that you feel is the most pressing one you should be asking right now of him? will like to actually, i don't really have a question to them to the debate administer. my question is more to the international community and interest and government agencies. so as the pandemic
5:54 pm
was going deeper and then having more debt on, on a daily basis last last week, it was the some of the embassies in my, also, equally, some international wasn't embassies. they close their visa sessions, doors until further notice. so same time, you know, it is about more about welcoming, you know, people around the wall and then everything refugees and so on. but to me it is, this is the only the only way that basically closing doors for, for me is people and citizens who was trying to leave legally, you know, either as a student or in other other countries. but using cobra as a closed door to me, i think that is it's, it's not what i have, you know, seen of that people should do it just, it's of interest for many should do. so it's just a small example that that came to my mind last week and i saw that use when in the last community, are you still hopeful that they can be pushed, encouraged,
5:55 pm
cajoled into helping the people of me. emma, i am still trying to hold onto the host because there are those so many things that international community can be do a. but the problem is they're not doing anything at all. and even with that, you know, humanitarian crisis, they should be finding a cross border mechanism through ethnic areas to support internally displaced people through, you know, using local civil society groups. but they are not doing any of that. and when it comes to accountability measure, when it comes to stronger sanctions or sanctions on while and get revenue, which is one of the biggest revenue income for the military, they could be putting sanctions on it. but, you know, there are so many meshes that international community can be pay. the problem is they're not doing any of that. of course we keep getting, you know, statements, or we are concerned or we are monitoring the situation. but we are way over the
5:56 pm
point now to conditions and everything just like you know, like for example, am or g it's, it's basically supported by the french and, or taught in 92. since i'm military hunters all day since the time that we grew up . and then just finally, right now, the sanction a part of the project of many projects. and there it is. so all the statements condemnation, yes. as i'm representing on your anyone. but now more citizen, i'm tired of it. if you, if you could phrase a sentence that you fill might actually provoke some action, what would that sentence be waiting? well, people in burne are risking their lives. they're actually giving up their lives will freedom and democracy an international community. they don't even need to risk their life to help people in burma and they should be doing that. they need to risk their life. all they need to do is take effective action against the military who's
5:57 pm
been committing atrocities for many, many decades. and they should start doing, does w foreign minister won't be your centers to provoke the international community. you have a platform right now. your sentence would be what it should be a little bit difficult, the nurse and it based on schuman to everyone to go, situation in the country is very serious now. so please consider about it. see, let's move out. who is the deputy foreign minister of a national unity shadow government? thank you for joining us. min wayne in. really appreciate your take your perspective and your insight on what is happening in the amount right now and watching everybody. i'll see you next time. take a with
