First lady visit Myanmar exile US First Lady Laura Bush, after meeting with refugees who fled a brutal campaign by Myanmar's military junta, urged China and other countries on Thursday to join the U.S. in imposing sanctions against the country. "We urge the Chinese to do what other countries have done — to sanction, to put a financial squeeze on the Burmese generals," Mrs. Bush said. The First lady, a vocal critic of Myanmar's military junta, toured a refugee camp on Thursday and called on the military regime to open dialogue with the opposition. Highlighting abuses in military-run Myanmar has been the chief cause of the first lady, and with her daughter Barbara she made her way through a muddy settlement which is home to tens of thousands who have fled the junta's repression. She thanked the Thai government for allowing the nine camps housing more than 120,000 refugees that string the border with Myanmar. "If we could see a change in the Burmese government ... so people could move home in safety, that would be the best result," the first lady told camp leaders, referring to Myanmar by its previous name. "The best solution would be if General Than Shwe's regime would start real dialogue," she said after being greeted by refugees performing song and dance in traditional dress. About 35,000 refugees huddle in Mae La camp at the foot of forested mountains, which many risked their lives to cross in their desperation to flee military crackdowns on ethnic rebel armies in their homeland. Mae La is on the site of the first refugee camp, which was set up in 1984 as Myanmar's army advanced into Karen state and forced thousands over the border. Most are from Myanmar's ethnic groups, including many Christians from the Karen minority. The United States has pledged to resettle 26,811 refugees, and Bush and her daughter — who were swaddled in shawls woven by the refugees — also visited a class teaching the people about life in America. But, Bush said: "Most people do not want to have to move to third countries. They would rather move to their home villages in safety and security." The Myanmar junta's decades-long conflict with a number of the country's ethnic minorities has sparked an ongoing exodus, and some 140,000 refugees now live in camps strung out along the Thai-Myanmar border. Mrs. Bush also visited the Mae Tao Clinic, run Dr. Cynthia Maung, a Karen Christian refugee who provides medical care on the Thai side of the border to more than 50,000 people from Myanmar every year. She visited a ward for victims of land mines, which are buried along the border and inside eastern Myanmar. Tags: myochitmyanmar Myo Chit Myanmar Cyclone Nargis Burma |
