The New York Times: "Myanmar — the name the junta gave to Burma — has been ruled by military dictatorship for 46 years, increasingly isolated and struggling under economic sanctions by the United States and Europe. Last September, the junta crushed peaceful protest marches by Buddhist monks."A devastating cyclone (Cyclone Nargis) has hit Myanmar. The numbers now follow: at least 22,000 dead, 41,000 missing, 1 million homeless. Meanwhile, the junta continue to refuse aid from other countries. Please pray for this country that:
-the country officials accept international aid
-that Cyclone Nargis victims will get access to water, food, and shelter asap
-that this horrific event will become a political salvation for the people of Myanmar
