The Fight For a New Myanmar Peoples power
Every day since the military coup of Feb. 1, the people have been taking to the streets in protest in all parts of Myanmar. Over 400 people have been killed by police and soldiers firing indiscriminately on crowds of protestors, or murdered randomly in dragnets carried out by day or under cover of darkness.
But instead of diminishing, the protests have escalated, drawing people from all walks of life workers and peasants, students and professionals, parents and children.

Vietnam has no paramount ruler and is officially led by four pillars : the powerful General Secretary of the Communist Party, a largely ceremonial president, a governing prime minister and the chair of its National Assembly.
The main candidates for each post had all been widely known in Hanoi s political circles, but were officially declared top secret in December last year in order to discourage potentially critical debate.
