Death of 38 civilians in Burma is described as "horror" by the UN
Two Save the Children activists remain missing
Martin Griffiths, the United Nations Emergency Aid Coordinator, described the attack in which some 38 people were killed as "horror".
This event resulted in the disappearance of two people who were part of the NGO Save the Children, in a town in the state of Kayah, in eastern Burma.
The military junta has been blamed by the opposition for the massacre that occurred in the region. According to an NGO that fights for the freedoms of the Karenni population, the victims were inside the population trying to flee from the clashes between the military and the guerrillas.
Their bodies were charred, near the vehicles in which they were.
Griffiths condemned this incident and absolutely all the serious attacks against civilians throughout the country, which are strictly prohibited by international humanitarian law.
The United Nations Emergency Aid Coordinator insisted that two Save the Children guide workers are still absent.
These people were returning from a humanitarian mission in the same place, when their private vehicle was attacked and burned, according to the NGO.
In his opinion, the Burmese government should send a thorough and direct examination of the event so that the culprits can be dealt with quickly.
Finally, Griffiths demanded the safety of the civilian population, since millions of people in Burma urgently need humanitarian aid, and focused on the fact that the UN and the people who support them, are focused on offering aid throughout the country.
Air assault
Burma's military team claimed on Monday that the airstrikes are completely bogus in the eastern Burma state of Karen, where large numbers of citizens have been forced to cross the border into Thailand.
In a joint statement, some international shelters, including those in the United States, Australia and the European Union, denounced on Friday the violation of freedoms caused by military attacks against ordinary citizens in Karen, also called Kayin.
Nearby NGOs and ethnic guerrillas have blamed the use of heavy guns and the bombardment of villages by the military, while large numbers of people have been evicted to Thailand to seek asylum.
The Burmese Foreign Ministry affirmed in a public statement that the data came from members opposed to the government, oppressors and radical groups, and guaranteed that they have not been verified, according to the official press.
After the coup
Burma is a state of emergency and savagery after the military, led by Min Aung Hlaing, seized power from the coup on February 1.
Despite the silent struggles and the rebellion of the people, a civil militia has been generated, which has taken over the armor, together with the ethnic guerrillas and has maintained problems with the Burmese army for decades.
Despite the fact that 11 months have passed since this revolution, the military still does not have complete control of the Nation.
Adding all the violence to use against dissent, causing 1,375 deaths, according to studies by an organization of Burmese activists. The coup is justified by the Burmese Army.
They claim that an alleged electoral fraud was carried out in the November 2020 elections. They insist that the party of leader Aung San Suu Kyi clearly won. As was the case in 2015, where they were approved by the international commissioner.
