CNN: Screaming people and bodies everywhere: The horrific aftermath of Myanmar junta airstrike that killed 133  

Relatives were still recovering the charred bodies and limbs of victims killed in a military airstrike on a village in central Myanmar Wednesday, a day after one of the deadliest attacks since the junta seized power in a coup two years ago. 

An eyewitness, who hid in a tunnel during the attack, described a scene of horror as he approached the site of the military airstrike – of children dying, women screaming, and bodies heaped on the ground. 

At least 133 people, including women and children, were killed after Myanmar’s military junta bombed Kanbalu township in the central Sagaing region on Tuesday, the human rights minister of the ousted shadow National Unity Government Aung Myo Min told CNN.

I do not have a completely filled out score card for Myanmar.

Most of the action has been with the Rohingya in the northwest and the ethnic Chinese or whatever in the northeast. I guess the protests did not go away but morphed. French President Macaroni should take not of what happens when you squelch protests. He should pay attention to Syria and Myanmar.

But do you have to pay attention to the hoi polloi, when you wear €80,000 watches and fine clothes?

The article mentioned a tunnel, where a person hid during the bombing. So the civilians expected trouble? The is also the national shadow government.

America needs a shadow government. The Brits have that system. When Republicans control the White House and at least one chamber of congress, there is a shadow government. When Democrats are in power there is no shadow government, but a controlled opposition. What is The Turtle but controlled opposition?
