ah, this is perhaps the greatest leonardo masterpiece in the collection of the louvre and no, it is not the mona lisa. it is the virgin of the rocks, 2 versions, multiple copies, and a hidden drawing. was there another symbolic meaning to this beautiful painting that perhaps we just don't understand how to search for answers started february 10th on d, w. this is d w news asia coming up today. 2 years since mia mas army toppled the democratically elected government and honest admission from the you and believe it is also at the 2nd anniversary of the failure of we as an international community to respond effectively and responsibly to this is crisis that from the un stop

officer on me and mark where the home does hold on power, continues at the cost of its people. what next for democracy in the country? ah i british manager, welcome to the dublin news asia. glad you could join us 2 years after me and bars military over through the elected government. a united nations official has accused member states of failing to respond adequately. you are on special repertoire for me and mom tom andrew's old it the 2nd anniversary of the international communities failure to effectively address the crosses across his he says, has seen the death of nearly 3000 people, and 17 and a half 1000 arrests. meanwhile, inside me, in my on wednesday streets in many places were left largely deserted as part of the

so called silent strike against the regime in the countryside. though armed resistance continues against the hunter. i'll be speaking to me and my journalist about that in a bit. but 1st, this report on how me and mom was plunged into crisis then at the 1st signs of trouble that will allow soldiers rounding up members of parliament in the dead of night. arbor trucks on the streets and checkpoints around the capital. men, mars military, john tar had seized power. these automobiles, you unleashing protests, blood shed, and a fresh war of attrition with rebel malicious, coo tar was among those forced to flee her home because of the fighting. living in

a camp for refugees. she know bears the scars of this conflict. thou thought, god, i didn't hear any gunfire, but then i had a sound and a shell landed near me. no, i just fell down to muddle money also that allow you not allow you at the are not did my 2 nieces were with me like thought and they were killed at the same page like that when another shells and it took me a lot of whatnot yeah, i feel very sad, yolanda bounce it on the loan. the yes or no theda. i can't thought it. at 17 carolyn gave up a dream of university to volunteers of medic helping rebel fighters stay alive. fella colored, i felt so depressed whenever i wasn't able to save a soldier, but i realized that i can't be depressed all the time. now that i'm looking like

a whole body, i have to think how to improve myself and how to save them next time. it's not at the do now for golf. the local atlanta co. rennie revolution union is one of the many rabble groups at war with a john tre in me. in march dense jungle, they vowed to keep fighting until the government is elected by the people of them, no matter the cost. so you want to, so would you die? every friends and family member of this soldier is depressed. we have to encourage them to be stronger. their quality for you tit staying strong isn't easy. her teenage son like so many joined a rabble force following the qu. he died in combat. glad dry raised him and cared for him. his whole life feel last now that he's gone

near p. lead time may help her grieve but me and mars turmoil will require more than patients telling me enough more is tend to know. she's managing director of burma news international and independent network of media organizations in me and mom miss. now we've seen pictures of empty streets and young gone as part of a silent protest against the military. but what does not say about the pro democracy movement in me and my cities? is it alive? yes, we can see that from this sinus tries showing these they do not accept them to cooper and they are in a hide and a very strong strongly against the military coup. still fighting for their rise freedom and also the fundamental rights so that this is also showing that,

you know, we pro democracy groups, they're together even after 2 years. and i will keep this kind of momentum to fight until we win until we get rid of this military gym from our country. where we can also build a federal credit country where all the different ethnic groups of the individual enjoined rice and also democracy that have like that type of principle in our country. but does that also not show that perhaps the military is correct on against the pro democracy movement is working? and the reason i ask is, is because just last year, for instance, of the year before that you had major demonstrations across cities in me. and now we're not seeing that right now. yes, because like i said after the, a brutal crack down against the peaceful, democratic democratic movement that the people choose different ways to fight back against their military regime. some of them join the army struggles and some of

them are actively, as are at a base are also right. arise, be groups they are against, is there use in different strategy to show that they against mil to region. and they are very much looking forward to a democratic country that guarantee the rise of the people. so they're like, i'm bad even though we don't see people are coming in to like our industries and that did protest, but you can see that people i can see in different ways and indifferent to my farm like you be in pain in bangkok, you know, big groups of people are having like a campaign or having this protest against the military region showing that they are, they are there and that they will. if i enter the end, you talked about people joining, the army struggle. there are reports of violence classes in the countryside between the hunter on the one side and infinite rebels and civilians on the other is the entire losing ground. so we can say that our hunter cannot completely control the whole country yet even after 2 years. because like

a in different places like there are the people who had lead support that, that be the, you know, the people who joined the army struggles. they are with a ham struggles and they are with their people to phone calls and they are with the anthony arm organization that against you know military jim? yes. the hunter is also parmesan nurse elections in august to grand legitimacy. wimberly transplant work. there were, there were, do they were go ahead and then you know, i organized this election even later days and you know, the whole country is against in them because that is their only ways out to get the legitimacy. but i'm sure that he, not the people are never accepted because lake are, this is the military, do ways to, ah, cadell credibility and that they try to show that the can i have the power with the wells of the people that can never happen, even though the physical lesson can be actually taken place. yeah. do me and my

citizens feel abandoned by the international community not at all in some extends their international communities, are showing their support more than ever as in the past. we can see that in a we, we have never seen this kind of like a strong support that we got from the international communities. because even like a, you know, yesterday, canada, australia, you, as you came in there, come out with like a concrete and packet at sanction. even like a, you know, a vision of, you know, if you are, are selling to the like, no other than the military gym. so this is very benefit to the people and then we really appreciate the enter international community. i take some action that is important to us, yet we live above under so much for joining us to look into. no, thank you so much. and as miss merrill just said, worse than sanctions have been taught. and just in the last 48 hours, for the 1st time, the yours, her sanctioned officials of a large state owned oil and gas company,

which is the single largest revenue honor for the whole trav, canada, and of the euchre. have sought to cut off incomes from the sale of aviation fuel and australia has targeted members of the hunter and a military run company. but is all this enough helping me out of that is fin robertson, deputy isha director for human rights watch fil, for 2 years you and other rights activists have been demanding sanctions against the hunters. oil and gas companies opt use their sanctions by the u. s. u. k. and canada enough. well, we're finally getting somewhere with these sanctions and they've sanctioned individuals rather than the overall myanmar oil and gas enterprise. but this is a start. this is a beginning building on what was done previously by the european union, which sanctioned the, the entire enterprise. so i'm hoping that we're going to now see some real progress . this is a real shot across the bow for the me and my military, hoosier,

that their financial lifeline is really missed. but one needs to ask why the, why the western mission needed to wait 2 years to initiate this action? well, it's an excellent question. we were calling for this in the 1st month after the military coup, because everybody recognizes that the oil and gas revenues are the most important financial lifeline for the military junta. so, you know, all they, all they would say to us is that we have to start lightly and then we'll add more. our attitude was actually go the other way around, should hit them hard, the very beginning. now we're finally getting there, but it's still not enough. i mean, i think that the international community needs to recognize that there has to be concerted efforts and not just now and again, connected to an anniversary. you know, once a year, you're in special repertoire on the situation of human rights immune mo, from andrews has called the 2nd anniversary of the failure of the international

community to respond effectively to this crisis. do you see that failure continuing? well, i think there's a lack of political will outside of a few governments to really sort of take this on. and what we're seeing in the region here in southeast asia is that the, the, on the 8th, our association, the southeast asian nations, is still hopelessly divided on this issue. everybody's looking to indonesia to take something forward. but the reality is that they, they need to get more support from like minded countries. and those like mind countries need to engage with these frontline states in order to build a coalition that can really take the pressure forward. meanwhile, food china and russia continue to on the me and my military. is that a way to end that support? i think that there is an effort to try to pressure these russia and trying to do more. but really it requires something by the un security council, a global arms embargo is something we've been calling on that council to take

forward for a long period time. but it has been blocked effectively by russia and china. we saw a resolution pass in december which was important 1st step, but it was watered down and things like arms embargo and military sales were taken out of the resolution. we leave there with the timing, but thanks so much for joining us today from robinson. and that's it for today there's, there are more on the situation and me and my on our website, the devil dot com, forward slash a share. and you can also follow us on facebook and twitter back again tomorrow at the same time with every day for us and for our planet. and global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we
