Europe and the suffering of the people of Burma
Rohingya at Sittwe. Picture by the author. The fate of the Rohingya people reverted our attention to the suffering of the people of Burma/Myanmar. This blog tries to identify a more flexible and sophisticated strategy from Europe for helping the people of Burma/Myanmar. This strategy would involve identifying opportunities to work on humanitarian and development issues despite the government tactics that are not approved of. At the same time, it would mean a flexible strategy of supporting the progressive initiatives and people in the government and opposing the less progressive people and projects.
