BURMA MILITARY ATTACKS SEND CITIZENS FLEEING FOR THEIR LIVES
The Burmese military have without warning launched an attack against innocent Karen villagers at Ler Per Her near the Thailand border. (Pictured are victims of a prior cyclone since we don’t have pictures of current refugees fleeing.)
Where is this being covered in the mainstream media? Does anyone care?
The bloody massacres in Rwanda started like this but by the time word was out, a half million people were dead.
The current attacks in Burma are sending thousands of terrified citizens fleeing for their lives, as the thunderous sounds of warfare shook the camp that many had come to think of as a temporary home. As grenades and mortar fire sailed in their direction, over 4,000 desperate people fled into Thailand.
Conducting Talk Show interviews on this topic is Jim Jacobson, president of Christian Freedom International (CFI).
Jacobson urges Barack Obama to show the international community that he is concerned about these Christian refugees, fleeing for their lives.
Jim Jacobson shares how CFI is sending emergency supplies of food, clothing, Bibles, tarps, medicine, and mosquito nets for many of these families in response to this grave situation.
Jim is available live from Thailand, adjacent to ground zero of the human slaughter until July 15.
