Myanmar to free ex-British ambassador, Australian adviser, Japanese journalist among nearly 6,000

Great news! But I feel sad for the people in Myanmar, they were experiencing an economic boom before this, now all investors are gone

Why would you be stupid enough to go to Burma in the FIRST place.

Everyone I ever met from there, I would congratulate on their escape and they would laugh.

What is AFP reporting here?

The Southeast Asian country has been in turmoil since the military's coup last year and a bloody crackdown on dissent that has seen thousands jailed

The military is murdering and torturing its own people!

Jailed for not reporting a change of address?

Jailed and murdered for reporting?

Arrested for speaking freely?

It is time for AFP to tell it like it really is!

Even the junta must sometimes have to bow to reality. They can't have everything their own way and they know that their "power" has its limits in the wider world of international geopolitics.
