to this is crisis that from the un stop officer on me and mark where the who 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 mars 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 andrews, old it the 2nd diversity 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 and my on wednesday streets in many places were left largely deserted as part of a called silent strike against the regime in the countryside. though armed resistance

continues against the hunter, i'll be speaking to me and my judge mister of that in a bit. but 1st this report on how me and mark was plunged into crisis. then 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 rabble, malicious, crew. 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 the mud money else would i allow you and not allow you? they are not that my 2 nieces were with me like thought and they were killed at the same place like that when another shall land. it took me a lot of what not. yeah, i feel very sad. the ladder down to it on the lunch. they also know theda icon thought it at 17 carolyn gave up a dream of university to volunteers on medic helping rebel fighters stay alive, fell out of college. 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 the i'm again a whole body. i have to think how to improve myself and how to save them next time

. not at the not do now for god. they love it. i wanna rennie revolution union is one of the many rabble groups of war with the john to and me and mars dense jungle. they vowed to keep fighting until the government is elected by the people of them, no matter the cost of what they are. when a soldier dies, every friends and family member of this soldier is depressed. we have to encourage them to be stronger. they their quality. for you tit staying strong isn't easy. her teenage son like so many joined a rebel force following the qu. he died in combat. glad to dry, raised him and cared for him. his whole life feel lost now that he's gone. no. no

time may help her grieve but me and mars turmoil will require more than patients telling me enough or more is tend to know. she's managing director of burma news international and independent network of media organizations in me and map. there's no, we've seen pictures of empty street, some young gone as part of a silent protest against the military. but what does not say about the pro democracy movement in me and mars cities? is it alive? yes. or we can see that al, from this as i, let's try that show in these, there do not accept the middle to coop, and they are still in a hide and a very strong strongly against in the military coup. and there's still a team for their rise freedom and also their fundamental shimmer ice. so that is

also showing that, you know, we pro democracy groups as they're together even after 2 years. and then we 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 built a federal credit country where all the different ethnic groups and the individual enjoined or rice and also democracy that, that have like a principal in our country. what does it also not show that perhaps the military is clocked on, but then the pro democracy movement is working and the reason i ask this is because just last year, for instance of the year before, you had major demonstrations across suitors in miramar. we are not seen well, 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 the base and also right arise, big groups they are against you. so they're using 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 at even though we don't see people are coming in to like out on the street . and that did protest, but you can see that people i can stay in different ways and indifferent to my farm . like you, me entirely in bangkok, you know, big groups of people i have in like a campaign i have in this protest against family to region, showing that they are, they are there and that they will. if i enter the n o, you talked about people joining, the army struggle there are reports of violent places in the countryside between the hunter on the one side of america, rebels and civilians. on the other is the inter losing ground. here. we can say that there haunted can not completely control the whole country yet, even after 2 years. because like i in different places like there are the people

who had lead support at that the, you know, the people who joined the army struggles. they are with a ham struggles and they are with people to phone calls and they are with the as an organization that against are, you know, military jim? yes. the hunter is also promissory note, buildertrans in august to do legitimacy rhythm, electrons, blood work. there were there were do, do or go ahead and then you know, or organize this election even like i days, you know, the whole country is against 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, get their 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 election can be actually taken place. yeah. do me and more citizens feel abandoned by the

international community. not at all. in some extent, 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 later, you know, yesterday, canada, australia, you, as you keep, you know, they come out with a, go, a concrete and packet at session. 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 a very benefit to the people. and then we really appreciate the entre international community are taking some action that is important. to us, yet we leave a bill. thank you so much for joining us to look into. no, thank you so much. and as miss nero 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 hunter up, 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 on? so 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. up tuesday is sanctions by the us. you can 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, on my military, who did 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 was 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 to me and my son 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 need to get more support from like minded countries and those like my the countries me to engage with these frontline states in order to build a coalition that can really take the pressure former. meanwhile, from china and russia continue to arm the me and mom in the tree, 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 of time. but it is 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, is there more on the situation and me and moll and i website the denver dot com, forward slash asia. and you can also follow us on facebook and twitter back again tomorrow. at the same time, we'll see you then. but with cash up to date, don't miss our highlights. the d w program on line d, w dot com highlights number her in charlotte, man by your office. i am currently more people than ever on the leave
