Burmese Majority Timid

Unfortunately, the cunning and vicious regime’s “divide and conquer” scheme is still functioning in Burma. The truth is both democracy activists and Union Solidarity and Democracy Association followers are the victims in this hellish land and they suffer equally under the most repressive military regime in decades.

Protests in August were forcibly broken up by security forces
Sadly, the military regime maintains its position of privilege and power by sowing the seeds of hatred, confusion and fear. It is hard to believe the barbaric behaviors of the thuggish USDA auxiliaries, including disguised plainclothes police who openly attack their fellow Burmese in public (ignoring appeals and condemnations from the international community).

It's sickening to see the anarchic USDA hoodlums assault their fellow citizens on their devilish masters’ behalf! It seems these brainwashed gangs have no sense and are totally trapped in the web of the regime. In the past two decades, the regime has significantly and openly built up the USDA to do its dirty work. The whole world has witnessed the pro-regime mobs beating up peaceful freedom activists.

One can see that the majority of the population remains timid and does not stand up for those who sacrifice their lives for all. The future of Burma depends on the unity and participation of people from all walks of life, not just a group of students or a political party.

The pro-democracy groups have a lot to do to get the frightened bystanders on their side before launching another people-power movement.

Yes, "divide and conquer"! It's still functioning well in Burma, and even in Burmese community outside of Burma. Then the side effect is that there have been more bystanders who just totally ignore the Burma ongoing political and economic situation as if those do not belong to them to be handled. Moreover, bystanders are afraid to initiate and to involve by any means. Yes, the majority of population still remains timid and so do whose knowledge and belief on the aspect of the country's situation. It shouldn't be seen as just about politic as if which is a scared thing to contribute as we all young and old generation, after 88, have been brainwashed. It's not only just about the politics, but also social, economic, the welfare of the country, and the dream of it. Indeed the rule of the country, the basic foundation of it, have to be changed. The point is that to be moved, helping out something from any small corner would be a lot better than just standing beside always as bystanders regardless of politic or concerning to any political movement group. Meanwhile the work, input, has to be systematic and disciplinary too. WE, ALL OF US, REALLY NEED UNITY.
