Condemnation of Myanmar violence 'well intended but ineffective'

Myanmar is on the "verge of a civil war" and the joint statement signed by Australia and 11 other countries will likely prove ineffective according to Curtin University Professor Joe Siracusa. Australia’s Chief of Defence Angus Campbell has issued a joint statement with 11 other armed forces leaders around the world condemning the military violence in Myanmar. The move comes after Myanmar forces killed at least 114 people – including children – in a crackdown on protestors on Armed Forces Day. The statement read, “we urge the Myanmar Armed Forces to cease violence and work to restore respect and credibility with the people of Myanmar that it has lost through its actions.” Mr Siracusa said the statement was “well intended but it isn’t going to have much effect". “This is the same regime which a couple of years ago gunned down 10,000 … Muslims without any qualms,” he pointed out.
