[Peace] FB censored this column by Pepe Escobar

[Karen Aram]

Pepe is as always spot on. I mentioned this on AWARE, on the air a few years ago, given a former leader of the ABSDF, when in exile in Thailand, was kicked out of Parliament because “he had a big mouth.” He was also warned to leave the country. He told me Daw Suu Kye was continuing to work with the military gov., being more diplomatic. He also mentioned the Head of the Railroads, telling him a foreign nation was intervening in issues, no doubt related to the BRI.

There is little doubt US concerns in relation to Burma/Myanmar is containment of China, using abuse of Muslims as their excuse, and training and supplying weapons to those exiled in Saudi. The hypocrisy of the US showing concern for the lives of Muslims after we have massacred millions in the Middle East.

She promised there would be peace in the border regions – eternally mired in a fight between the Tatmadaw and autonomous movements. She could not possibly deliver because she had no power whatsoever over the military.
