LOI TAI LENG, Myanmar ¨C The head of one of Myanmar¡¯s influential ethnic armies accused world leaders of ignoring the ruling military junta¡¯s surge in deadly airstrikes on civilians, adding that only China was intervening in the conflict.
Reuters was the only international outlet present for the leader¡¯s first meeting with media in years, just days after an election held by the Southeast Asian nation¡¯s ruling junta that cemented the military¡¯s grip on power.
¡°The civilians are suffering and I want the international community not to ignore it,¡± said Gen. Yawd Serk, ?who chairs the Restoration Council of Shan State (RCSS), speaking at his mountaintop base.
