ah, soccer is a sport of colors and the children in this mountain village know them all. but can everyone be a dog with them regardless of gender. huh. where's glue? the color of her favorite sex is traditions, prevent her from going to games and play with an insurmountable obstacle. little girl football on the peak that starts february, 4th on d w. ah, this is deed of the news asia coming up to date one year after the military called is me and mar, facing a civil war. more than a 1000 civilians have lost their lives, standing up to a brutal military dictatorship. and now some protest as a fighting,

but with weapons. he's me and ma cycle of violence said to get worse. and what of the response from the world regional initiative to restore democracy in me and mar, has come up short and sanctions against the generals? haven't achieved much. he's a diplomatic solution even possible. ah . my british energy welcome to dw news asia. glad you could join us one year since me and mas army overthrew the elected civilian government. the country appears to be in the throes of a civil war, at least according to one former un official. the army has stepped up violent attacks against citizens and pro democracy protest as are organizing into armed groups to fight the government. but it's an uneven contest and the military appears willing to do anything to stay in power. the meal,

my regimes responds to popular resistance, tells a story of indiscriminate violence from the 1st protesters gun down. just days after the military coup to air strikes, launched in a remote area in december, sending people fleeing into neighboring thailand by him. and that more and more, the conflict is becoming a civil war. and st protestors are deciding to take up arms with them. i feel fine. we hate the military dictatorship, colorado and we've decided to end it by routing out the military from the country. he's all i am all making out, we promise to help and try our best to finish them off when the war starts. you

know, on all of those sit of i am with him as a young mother who united regarding him. i don't follow when you a lot of these anti coo activists have joined the ethnic rebel group, putting their lives on the line against a regime they've sworn to resist their decision. a sign of desperation, of having no other option. i see the stage so to set for prolonged conflict need aside, seemed willing to back down. i just very difficult to see how the conflicts ah, will, will diminish. i will reduce, i'm in the, in the near term, even in, you know, over a period of several years. neither side may be strong enough to win an outright victory, meaning villages and army bases like this one will continue to burn me. and earlier i spoke to me in my human rights activist tests way when, who was on the border between thailand and me and my helping refugees fee the

violence. i asked him to describe for me specific instances of violence perpetrated by the military. so over on that then these military right now, so we call that as a fascist military for the you know, to do the killing torture in people every way, you know, not only in the ethnic area. you think that the coop said the that you know, they make a lot of progress in many places for the right. know what they are doing right now in the, in the area. yes. yes, definitely. the same did in the area, you know, many years ago, like the rape daughter at the cave, you know that for event, but you know, one of my friend a, she was an attractive woman and she was that rest have to tell me in mentally like you know crushed by why she was writing about us. i get take the crush her with a car. and i just brought her to the briefing that the torture and the humiliate

her in many ways because you know that, that they have the bomb, if military, if it, how the old, if to in the area and also that, you know, the rate it holds up at night and then you just random issued with the paper for the event yesterday and this morning today. and this morning like an infant. why was tied by the bus monitor and today of village and yesterday in 5th grade, also one why it was also being paid by the bus military. but you're the keeling in burma by the, by me. but it is happening every day. and every way, i mean just what you're describing is just, it's just, it's just heartbreaking to get it. and therefore i'm guessing some people are describing the situation in me and my as a civil war. i mean, would you agree with that classification? yeah, i totally agree with that, so we're already in the see the one and then our people only preparing for our

right to defend. we have a right to defense follow with that also reports a set of people forming armed resistance against the military. and the form of these are people's defense forces or their joining ethnic armed rebels. do people see no other option of resisting the military government? and we actually tween to leave when, if the doing it on the ground that you know for to have it. and i to protest every day in the fifty's for that we have in the protest every day already. you know, i had a $0.55 left here, so we, we do it every, every way, you know, in many places. then of course, you do that for deaf nowadays into a very dangerous and very like, you know, only a few people can do this. but you know, our young people that generation v a, you know, trying to do this even for today. you know, many group of an activity in the fifty's, no choice that, you know,

we're not that the, the 1st but it re route the country. but in the other hand, the other, the young people are also taking them because, you know, we, the thing that, you know, we cannot waive this mandatory. by only doing that before with that, you know, i offered to refer for the refer for their division because they didn't really get that deaf division of them for that. many groups are formed, you know, their own rift as groups in many believe. and also some of them also tried with the ethnic revolutionary group and some of them with the nation unity government, a defensive me and my human rights activists affect to say when they're talking to me earlier. and through this entire crisis, the international community has been accused of not doing enough to stand up to me and mas military leaders. the u. s. the european union and the u. k. have imposed some sanctions on individuals and companies. but the foreign governments are

continuing to send weapons to the cool leaders and protest pills on the ground, se they fear they have been abandoned by the world. the un special envoy to the region has called for renewed international efforts to bring about change. i hope a great the action including the security council to help lay down the building block. so narrowed the truck deficit and initiate, talk about top on peace, national unity and democracy. so the road ahead will be long and difficult at the time, so it's now and time is running. and joining me now for more is gay when he's found an executive director of the human rights network. and he joins me now from bangkok . mr. when has the response from the international community been ineffective so far?

in order to answer unquestioned, i think there isn't any to tell inaction. there is action, but doubt that as being symbolic action. so what we are asking do international community to have a concrete action that must be effective action or so imposing any sanction effectively. so that need to include your mom while and get in there, right? something that generating millions of dollars and meters of money in going to into the, the military is pocket which they use the spend the money to buy the weapon. and also international arms and bubble, which is crucial to stop the military on committing cruelties in burma. but this hasn't happened in the past year, and 1500 civilians have been killed. why is the international community hesitant to

impose such targeted sanctions and these arms embargoes as your demanding? i mean so far the media, the sanction is coming from you in the us and u. k. and canada. but the but you see that it is not only a now but un secretary of possible us or the council. you don't see any roles of us equity counseling, describe it totally paid once i get the confidence in faith. so what we, what we are seeing if in the national community is divided like china and russia is one side and the tried to support and stand with them will it be despite the military is committing heinous crime, crime against humanity. and we launch a report today called breathing tyranny of military. in this report, we clearly defied all the military committing, you know, i mean, does i mean the crime against humanity or the wife's right? very none of his guns are. yeah. so

the military is got the waves, could go move, conducting the quality and the atrocity mark killing them. and, and often the tag on the villages is quite similar very same way. it is a very systematic and very similar way, though we are literally committed, you know, citing the hype to the, against your people, which indicate, i'm sorry, i'm really just talking about this when the fact that an actor is tools on the thailand me in my border about the atrocities of the military, but i just wonder, just to go back to the point that you were making earlier about a divided international community. and you talked about china and russia being on one side and other countries being on the other side. can i just ask you directly, is it the support of china and russia that allows me, in my military to continue to rule so far, the military receiving arms from china and russia. but one thing is that china is

very close country to barbara. china has also influence to other like a, like a change like why like many, many other northern alliance. so the many group in exist, entire operate operating table bought the evidence, very china, very strong influence. also china as a some on the indian border. so russia seems to use a remote very far from boma, but it has a very strong influence. thousands of them is military training, taking trading printing in are in russia all high tech and a false and a lot of apples and maybe all different sectors. the taking a training from, from, from, from the russian army so that the 2 countries have a lot of investment in market in burma. and also they have a political support the but however they, these 2 country didn't refill neither military as a government,

obama. so that's still, they hope you see that there is some, there is some rules and hope that the other country like like you, as you gave wrong. another country can convince these 2 other power to do something against the, you know, the military. good, good, possible. here's hoping that happened really over there that i mean, thank you so much for joining us. k written of the by my human rights network. thank you sir. and that's it for today. that of course, more on the situation and me and ma, now website the w dot com forward slash asia. and as ever you can follow us on facebook and twitter back again at the same time. tomorrow's here then, or by what secrets lie behind these was discover new adventures in 360 degrees
