Burma-Myanmar

The military government changed the name of the nation from Burma to Myanmar, so we'll go with Burma.

The internet has been shut down by the junta government resulting in a slowing of information coming out of the country. A few Burmese living abroad have been blogging about the protests. Some have been receiving smuggled data consisting of pictures and videos from underground reporters in Burma. This blog is taking Burmese blogs and translating them to English and including their pictures.

Here is a site that has been trying to draw attention to Burma and is calling for intervention by the U.N.
