The United Nations General Assembly has called for a stop to the flow of arms to Myanmar and urged the military to respect November election results and release political detainees, including leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

The United Nations General Assembly on Friday called for a stop to the flow of arms to Myanmar and urged the military to respect November election results and release political detainees, including leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

"The risk of a large-scale civil war is real," UN special envoy on Myanmar Christine Schraner Burgener told the General Assembly after the vote."Time is of the essence. The opportunity to reverse the military takeover is narrowing."Some countries which abstained said the crisis was an internal issue for Myanmar.

The military cited the government's refusal to address what it said was fraud in a November election as the reason for the coup. International observers have said the ballot was fair.An initial draft UN resolution included stronger language calling for an arms embargo on Myanmar. According to a proposal seen by Reuters last month, General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding but carry political weight.

The General Assembly also called on Myanmar to swiftly implement a five-point consensus the junta forged with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in April to halt violence and start dialogue with its opponents.

This has all to do with the Myanmar Military elite not making the money they used to when they were in charge. So let's remove the elected government so we can turn the money pipeline on again.

Darwin COVID-19 vaccine bookings paused amid surge in demand from young peopleA surge in demand from young people keen to get vaccinated against coronavirus has temporarily halted bookings in Darwin on the government's website. 303 dead from the covid vaccine. It’s now the deadliest vaccine in Australian history. Now line up 🐑 AstraZeneca is now for the over sixties and in this age bracket they are getting clots. It must be thrown out. That lasted a week. All very well for Gunner to make the grand announcements but leave Fyles to pick up the mess. Why didn't they offer the 'good one' Pfizer to the 73,000 remaining unvaccinated Indigenous when it's agreed they are by far the highest risk group?

Unsurprising Labor states are 'cosying up to China' given they're all 'authoritarian states' | Sky News AustraliaClinical Psychiatrist and Author Tanveer Ahmed says it is unsurprising places like Queensland, Western Australia, or Victoria are 'cosying up to China' given they were already quickly 'turning into authoritarian states'.\n\n'Those three places, in particular, they're effectively closer to the Chinese model these days. They want to impose on ordinary human freedoms, they're using the pandemic to extend their powers at every turn, often unjustifiably,' he said.\n\n'Obviously there's an economic interest and there's a strong political interest. You get the feeling states are on to a winning formula by poking the federal government at every opportunity.'\n\n More that WA and QLD basically sell all their resources to China and Vic relies entirely on selling them apartments. Do you all manage to keep a straight face when you write this crap ? Does clinical psychiatrist and author Tanveer Ahmed wear a tin foil hat ? Serial plagiarist Tanveer Ahmed now rehashing the Murdoch propaganda. Has this guy ever had an original thought ... ?!
