About Time
Posted on May 18, 2008, by Hanna Ingber Win, under International.
More than two weeks after Cyclone Nargis hit, Burma’s dictator, Sen. Gen. Than Shwe finally climbed out of his cave and visited survivors. He left his new, remote capital Naypyidaw to tour refugee camps in the outskirts of Rangoon.
The New Light of Myanmar reports in junta-propaganda jargon:
Chairman of the State Peace and Development Council Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Than Shwe accompanied by General Thura Shwe Mann of the Ministry of Defence, member of SPDC Lt-Gen Tin Aye, Commander-in-Chief (Navy)Vice-Admiral Soe Thein, Commander-in-Chief (Air) Lt-Gen Myat Hein, Deputy Minister for Health Dr Paing Soe, senior military officers and officials of SPDC Office flew to Yangon from Nay Pyi Taw by special flight to inspect storm-hit areas of Yangon and Ayeyawady Division this afternoon.
Than Shwe still has not gone to the Irrawaddy River delta, where the vast majority of damage was done and dead bodies still float in the water. A well-known Burmese blogger, Nyi Lynn Seck, has recent photographs from his relief work in Laputta, one of the worst-hit areas.
