There is something fundamentally wrong in how the Burma story is being ignored by international editors. There is more to the world than Ukraine and Gaza.

Even journalists who want to report more on Burma tell me their editors tell them it's 'been done' and they need new angles. But when I talk to the public, MPs and others they complain they rarely see Burma in the news and don't really know much about what's going on now.

Shocking numbers, and all because the power-hungry, wildly corrupt military seized power from an elected government and immediately began brutalizing the population and rolling back reforms.

The middle class in #Myanmar has shrunk by 50% in just 3 years. 75% of the population - or approximately 42 million people - live either in poverty or are perilously close and a staggering 13.3 million people face acute food insecurity. undp.org/stories/can-my…

On a roll introducing the kids to some old movies that they like and actually hold up. Home Alone, Parent Trap, Lion King, and last night — Mary Poppins. They’re 6.5 and 4 years old; what should we watch next??

A 9-year-old girl, the youngest in a family of five, is forced to run when her village is shelled by soldiers. It’s an unimaginable experience that upends her life.
Then it happens again. And again. Ten times in two years.
Don’t look away from Myanmar:

@winglets747 Good points about limited scope of direct relationship between Amazon and FedEx in past. I wonder though whether the broader expansion of Amazon, facilitated in part by Amazon Air, has diverted some traffic that might otherwise move on FedEx flights.
English
@winglets747 Additionally, the relationship between FedEx and Amazon has changed as Amazon Air's fleet has grown from its launch in 2016 to 90 freighters today.

Here's a good NY Times article on the vast expansion of India's airline industry. Air India & IndiGo have ordered total of 970 new jets this year alone. Implications for global climate change not mentioned, however - nytimes.com/2023/11/02/bus…

If this is correct, it means big changes for low cost airlines like Spirit & JetBlue (which are currently warning of problems). Will be very interesting to watch
