The purported photos of the aftermath of the Christmas Eve massacre in eastern Mo So village, just outside Hpruso township in Kayah state where refugees were sheltering from an army offensive, spread on social media in the country, fueling outrage against the military that took power in February.

“We are not afraid to protest on the roads, we are not afraid to be shot, because our future has already been destroyed by this military coup,” he told the ABC. “We think this is really unfair to

disrespect our votes, and also our country was transforming into a democracy just a few years ago, but right now we are going back to the stone age.”

It is time for the world to stop debating how to categorise them and focus on finding the necessary resolve to act

Conservative mantra is debate everything so do nothing. How often do we hear Murdoch’s men claim the need to debate. Andrew Bolt says he’s an Indigenous Australian and it needs a debate. Meanwhile it does bugger all for Indigenous Australians.(ODT)
