Currently on BBC Sounds: Quartered Safe Out Here by George MacDonald Fraser
Widely accepted as one of the best war-memoirs ever written – by turns hilarious, exciting, & moving – it recounts the author’s time with the 14th army in Burma
Dramatised by Robin Brooks

“An officer – he must have been a new arrival, and a right clown – ran out in front of the company and shouted, with enthusiasm: ‘Men! The war in Europe is over!’”
—George MacDonald Fraser spent VE Day in 1945 waiting to attack a Japanese-held village in Burma – from his memoir QUARTERED SAFE OUT HERE:

Scamland Myanamar: How Conflict and Crime Syndicates Built A Global Fraud Industry
Wild, wild stuff.
Scams at industrial scale - whole newly built compounds devoted to using enslaved trafficked workers.
Footprint of the new compounds is expanding at some 13.5 acres a month.
An area containing some scam centres was captured by anti-government forces.
And some 40,000 enslaved workers returned to China.

If all goes well, #TimorLeste will officially join the #ASEAN as its 11th member.
For grassroots:
- 30 days visa-free entry across all 11 ASEAN members
-- you can reset it twice by crossing to another ASEAN member for at least 24 hours, so that's 90 days total
- more work opportunities for Timorians and the rest of ASEANs
- easy exchange student processing
- cultural exchanges
- ASEAN jokes and memes 😂#Philippines #Indonesia #Singapore #Thailand #Malaysia #Laos #Lao #VietNam #Cambodia #Myanmar #Burma #Brunei

China's genocidal occupation of Tibet is of course the ultimate act of violence against #Tibetans.
A final solution after millenia of coexistance, not to mention the treaty of *eternal peace* signed in 822 after Tibetans had had enough and invaded Chang'an, the capital of Tang dynasty.
But, it also an act of grave violence against India, Nepal, Bhutan and Burma. All of these countries have suffered the loss of historic cultural, religious and economic exchanges with a friendly neighbour, only to be replaced by a hostile and military-expansionist Chinese #dictatorship.
The #Uighurs and (South) #Mongolians to the north have suffered that loss too, but they have a singular *far*more immediate worry as like Tibetans they too are marked for eradication by the CCP's Han-nationalist imperial regime.
Ideally the Chinese people themselves would end this nightmare, not only for all the Han peoples but also those repressed neighbours whose fate will forever be a stain on that previously civilized civilization, just like #nazism will remain on #german peoples' record.
Chinese peoples still have a closing window to reverse course before CCP's imperial projects become irreversible...
