OK, the Karen — not my sister. As far as I know, she’s in Woodburn, not Rangoon.
“It seems like the Burmese government is getting ready for a huge offensive action against a lot of people,” he says.
Klein believes he knows the target. “From what my contacts are saying from inside, they’re now trying to get rid of anybody who is opposed to the government. Everybody wants freedom. They want it to open up. They do not like this government, but they feel hopeless.
“Yesterday, we told you about the thousands of tribal people who have been forced out of Burma or killed. Klein says it’s nothing short of genocide. The question is: Why won’t the United Nations do something about it? Klein says, “The reason the UN Security Council won’t do anything is because China and Russia are backing the military government.”
Klein says there could be a “huge genocide before the election in October. They’re going to slaughter a whole bunch more people. They’ve been killing the Karen, and more and more of the tribals are being killed now. I’m just concerned that there are going to be millions of people slaughtered — is the world going to ignore and act like it’s not our problem?”
While the world ignores what’s going on, Vision Beyond Borders isn’t. Klein says, “People have lost all confidence in their government. Even people are turning away from Buddhism. They’re looking for hope. They’re turning to Jesus Christ. There are some Bibles getting into the country, and there is a tremendous need for more Scriptures because people are open to the Gospel now.”
Rwanda, Congo, Orissa, Burma — with a shrug, the world sweeps them under the rug.
yep! still in woodburn!! 🙂
