The international intervention was sluggish. It took four months to
appoint an ASEAN special envoy. During those four months, the number of
civilian deaths and civilian arrests rose from the hundreds to the
thousands. They could not even pressure the military’s State
Administration Council to allow the ASEAN special envoy to visit
Myanmar. Our people are too frustrated. We, the NUG, have a
responsibility to reflect our peoples’ voices and suffering. Our call
for a war is our response to the depressing lack of action by the
international community.
