On Friday, the dust from the devastating earthquake was still churning into Myanmar, when a deadly question of an existence was rotated: whether this deadly clash of tectonic plates, which could still be added to another layer of trauma, which was already suffering from civil war, also portrays the death of Juti, the ruler of Myanmar?
Earthquakes, which were killed at least 1,000 and perhaps even more, Myanmar’s military rule hit the country a day after celebrating the country 80th Armed Forces Day With a parade in Naypyidaw, formed by the previous group of generals with capital purpose.
The sequence of events was difficult to ignore.
Omence and rumors have long been priced in an authoritarian country, with very little flow of information. When the ruling generals caught power four years ago, they sealed the country and returned to the reverence of superstition and publicity. And earthquakes are assessed in astrological almanacs which are well thumb in Myanmar. A popular version stated that an earthquake in March indicates the destruction of cities, while in July a kings and rulers have been removed.
Janta’s stronghold lives in cities, such as in Mandalay, the second largest in the country and one of the most difficult hits from the earthquake. 89 -year -old Dow Marler Ment said it was the worst natural disaster that he had ever experienced. A retired school principal, she is not waiting till July to make her prediction.
“We have a saying that such a big earthquake is the nature of nature to punish a cruel and corrupt ruler,” he said. “After killing so many people, Min Aung Hling is now facing the decision of nature.”
He said, “Even those who committed murders, the bones who have been killed have been killed.”
Since in 2021, Senior General Min Aung Holting uprooted the elected government of Myanmar, the civil war has erupted in this Southeast Asian country. Most regions are now in resistance, with military fortifications in large cities. In recent months, Junta has terrorized civil areas with an airstrikes by only rains on Gaza.
Myanmar rebels-ethnic minority militia, an uncontrolled classification of opposition politicians and technology-loving youths who are respected drone war from the jury-rigged parts-have worked hard with very little international support. Myanmar’s army is bleeding soldiers, with Disartision Rough. Nevertheless, this forest is punishing war, and both sides are desperate to get out.
And as people in Myanmar surveyed the earthquake on Saturday, screams from people trapped under the rubble are still echoing through the towns, the entire limit of destruction is just taking shape.
Kyav works in Singapore, who is part of the young, educated people of Myanmar, who fled from their country to search for better jobs abroad. He was sending his parents, wife and two daughters back home, at the age of 4 and 7. They all died in the earthquake, when their condominium building in the congregation crashed on the ground. Their bodies were part of a pile inside the hall nearby, which still has no place to bury.
For most of its colonial history, Myanmar, earlier known as Burma, is ruled by military dictatorship. The generations of the generals have trusted fortunellers and astrologers to guide their policy decisions. A former jute chief consulted a dwarf, who spoke through his sister. (After the sister’s death, the sister continued to pregnosticate, but her prophecies lost authenticity, according to those who gave a lot of money for their single counseling sessions initially.)
A former detective chief collected white elephants (real, living kind) to burn his power. The first jute leader was so superstitious about number nine that he adopted the country’s currency including 45 and 90 cute notes. And the current military head, General Min Aung Holting has proud of temples and a huge Buddha in NIPDAV to burn his reputation. They have also collected white elephants.
For generals, perhaps in 2005 there was the most resulting prediction. When Sirs has determined the exact time for the onset of a secret step from Yangon to Myanmar’s capital, which is still an anonymous construction site in the center of the country. After consulting with Fortunetellers, trucks started a convoy in the north, which would soon be called Naypyidaw, or the abode of Kings.
Today, the new capital is defended by the hills and unlike Yangon is unqualified to attack by the sea. When Cyclone Nargis slipped into the old capital and nearby Irawadi delta in 2008, NIPEDV was released after more than 130,000 people were killed or disappeared. The generalls celebrated their grand bolevards, large -scale ministries and penguins with ice (again, real, live like) and celebrated their cot capital.
But Friday’s earthquake was not so gentle for Naypyidaw. Government ministries exploded. Pictures of top leaders, including General Min Aung Hling, fell on the floor. According to Myanmar state media, the air traffic control tower in the capital died at least seven people.
Rebel forces are not far away in the hills, not far away. The area in which they control, with less high buildings, had a less impact on them on Friday. But even the residents of the Divisional and other urban areas, such as the saga and Kyuk, were dug through the debris with their bare hands, each brick, piercing to get closer to potential people, the Myanmar army resumed its old habits.
On Friday evening, in the northern Shaan state, which is the border of the Mandle region, the jute fighter jets dropped the bombs on the village of Naug Lynn, which is conducted by the rebels. This time there were no casualties, but two days before killing four people in nearby villages two days before. And a week before that, 10 people who gave shelter in a madrasa in the same township died in an air raid.
“I could not believe that they carried out an air strike at the same time as an earthquake,” said a Nauung Lynn resident Lave Yal OO. “Min Aung Hling is creating a murder area in Myanmar.”
In the Yangon, an astrologer for a top -jota officer said that the top brass confidence in star signs has not decreased. If anything, they are hanging even more for faith because their grip in the country decreases, he said. The astrologer, who did not want to use her name, was used due to the sensitivity to speak about her high-profile military customers, said that General Min Aang Halling depends a lot on the Buddhist talisman to live in power.
On Saturday morning, a military intermediary called him, the astrologer said, and requested to help protect the jute chief’s hold on Myanmar. He advised a Buddha talisman to be worn all the time.
But, the astrologer said, he thought that the earthquake was an inauspicious sign for general.
