Burma : a forgotten war



Burma has been torn by civil war for over 50 years. More than four million people have been killed or displaced. Every year the UN calls for dialogue inside Burma. Every year, this resolution is ignored both by Burma's military dictatorship and by the international community.' -- title screens. '6000,000 people are hiding from the Burmese Army in temporary settlements inside Burma. 77,000 people are now living in 167 forced relocation sites in Eastern Burma alone. 2,700 villages have been destroyed in the past 10 years. 800,000 are victims of forced labor. In addition, the Burmese Army has forcibly recruited 70,000 child soldiers, more than any other country in the world.' -- end titles. As a volunteer at the Centre for Peace and Human Security, Lea Rekow crossed the border of Thailand into Burma to secretly document the resistance of the Burmese people to the rule of the corrupt military junta. The Army completely controls Burma, using land mines, forced removal and forced labor, torture, rape, and drugs to subjugate, harass, and stamp out all resistance by the many ethnic minorities that continue to survive in the South East region of Burma
