In the Myanmar earthquake, some see political bones

The dust resulting from the devastating earthquake on Friday was still flowing in Myanmar when an existential question turned into this mix: Could this deadly clash of tectonic paintings, which added another layer of shock to a country already suffering Civil warAlso, the removal of the ruling military council, Myanmar?

The earthquake, known to have killed at least 1000, and perhaps more than that, hit one day after a day of celebrating the Myanmar military regime On the eighty of the armed forces With a display in NayPyidaw, the capital that was built by a previous group of generals.

It was difficult to ignore the sequence of events.

Rumors and rumors have long been estimated in an authoritarian country with a little free flow of information. When the ruling generals Hold the power Four years ago, they closed the country and returned to the sanctities of myths and publicity. Earthquakes are depicted in astronomical basins that are well thumb in Myanmar. A common version states that the earthquake in March indicates the destruction of cities, while one of them in July is the slowdown in the ousted kings and rulers.

The JUNTA stronghold is still in cities, as in Mandalay, the second largest in the country and one of the most difficult earthquake. This was the worst natural disaster that she had ever lived. A retired school principal, do not wait until July to predict her.

“We have a huge earthquake like this is the way of nature to punish a cruel and corrupt ruler,” she said. “After many people were killed, Min Ong Hinging is now facing the rule of nature.”

“Even the bones of those who were killed trembling,” added.

Since General Min Ong Hinging overthrew the elected government in Myanmar in 2021, Civil war It erupted in this country in Southeast Asia. The majority of lands are now in the hands of the resistance, with the army’s fortification in the major cities. JUNTA intimidated civilian areas with air strikes that excelled in recent months only by those who rained on Gaza.

The rebels Myanmar – a Unbutted assortment Among the militias of ethnic minorities, opposition politicians and youth who enjoy cunning in technology who scarred the drone warfare from the jury-they fought very much with little support. Myanmar Army bleeds soldiers, with Dirob. However, it punished the forest war, and both sides are desperate to go out.

Since people in Myanmar have wiped the earthquake on Saturday, with a screaming of trapped under the debris still hesitating in cities, the full range of destruction began only to crystallize.

Ko Kyaw works in Singapore, a part of the great diaspora of young people, learners from Myanmar who fled their country to search for better jobs abroad. He was sending money to the house to his parents, wife and two daughters, between the ages of 4 and 7. They all died in the earthquake, when their buildings were destroyed in Mandalay on the ground. Their bodies were part of a pile arranged in a nearby hall, and there is no space for burial so far.

For most of its history after colonialism, Myanmar, previously known as Burma, was ruled by military dictatorships. Generations of the generals relied on the owners of Fortuneselles and two astrologers to direct their policy decisions. The former president of Junta consulted a dwarf that spoke through her sister. (This sister continued predictions after the death of her brother, but her prophecies lost originality, according to those who initially paid a lot of money for her individual consulting sessions.)

A former white spy chief (the real, living gender) gathered to exhaust his strength. The former military council leader was very fairy about the ninth number he did in the country’s currency, including 45 and 90 KYAT. General Min Aung Hinging, the current military commander, has devoted temples and Buddha the giant in Naibidao to exhaust his reputation. The white elephants were also collected.

For generals, the most subordinate prophecy may have been in 2005. When Seers set the most auspicious exact time to start a secret step for the Myanmar capital from Yangon to a constructive site whose name is not mentioned in the center of the country. After consultations with Fortunetelles, trucks began a caravan north of what could soon be called Naypyidaw, or the house of kings.

today, The new capital He defends hills and attack by sea, unlike Yangon. When Hurricane Nargis criticized the ancient capital and the nearby Irrawaddy delta in 2008, leaving more than 130,000 dead or missing people, NayPyidaw was safe. The generals celebrated their hidden aspects, with their major streets, huge ministries and birds on ice (again, real type, living).

But the Friday earthquake was not benign against Naibidao. Government ministries are cracked. Pictures of senior leaders, including General Min Aung Hinging, fell on the ground. The air traffic control tower was overthrown in the capital, killing at least seven people, according to government media in Myanmar.

In the hills are not very far, the rebel forces are monitored. With fewer high buildings in the region, the earthquake had a lower impact on Friday. But even while the residents of Mandalay and other urban areas, such as Sagaing and Kyaukse, were dug through the rubble with their bare hands, and they went out of every brick to approach potential survivors, the Myanmar army resumed it Old customs.

On Friday evening, in the northern state of Shan, which borders the Mandalay region, Junta Fighter Jets dropped bombs on Naung Lin Village, which is kept by the rebels. There were no losses this time, but the readiness of the readiness two days before the killing of four people in the nearby villages. And one and a half week before, 10 people died at a school in the same town in air strikes.

“I cannot believe that they had at the same time with the earthquake,” said Lua Yal Ou, a resident of Nounges Lin. “Min Aung Hlaing creates a killing field in Myanmar.”

In Yangon, a mine of the Supreme Junta official said that the supreme copper belief in the signs of the stars was not faded. If there is anything, then they flow more on faith while reducing their grip on the country. Agents, who do not want to use her name because of the sensitivity to talking about its prominent military agents, said that General Min Aung Hinging relies heavily on the buddow talisman to stay in power.

The astrologers said that a military mediator called her, and asked to help protect the grip of the president of Junta on Myanmar. Buddha’s amulet advised to wear at all times.

But the astrologers said, I thought the earthquake was a fateful sign of the general.
