    In reforming Myanmar, junta mouthpiece gets makeover

    Reuters

    Employees get freshly printed copies of the New Light of Myanmar at the newspaper's office in Naypyitaw, Sept. 19, 2012. Established in 1993, the state-run New Light of Myanmar is the country's only English-language daily newspaper. It will soon face competition from private publishers and is undergoing a redesign.

    Reuters

    Editor-in-chief Than Myint Tun holds up a dummy of the New Light of Myanmar in Naypyitaw, Sept. 19.

    Reuters reports — The New Light of Myanmar has an image problem. That's putting it mildly.

    Created in 1993 as the mouthpiece of a military junta, the newspaper once described democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi as "obsessed by lust and superstition," while praising the achievements of generals who kept Myanmar in poverty and fear. Its nickname was "The New Lies of Myanmar."

    Now, with the junta gone and a reformist government in power, the mouthpiece is getting a makeover.

    "Feel free to ask me any question! We are very transparent now!" cries Than Myint Tun, its affable, betel-nut-chewing editor-in-chief during a Reuters tour of the state-run newspaper, the first by the international media.

    The New Light is the country's only English-language daily -- but not for long. Among its reforms since taking power last year, Myanmar's quasi-civilian government has effectively scrapped censorship, boosting an already vibrant weekly newspaper scene. It will allow the publication of privately owned dailies in early 2013.

    With competition looming, the long-derided New Light is battling for relevance and readers.

    Hate-filled propaganda has been replaced by lively editorials and entertainment news. Cartoons that once showed Suu Kyi as a toothless crone now comment on hot issues such as political transparency and the popularity of Western dress. Full story…

    EDITOR’S NOTE: This story was made available to NBC News on Oct. 17, 2012.

    Heavy going in Myanmar's transportation

    Damir Sagolj / Reuters

    Vehicles pass the intersection in front of the Sule Pagoda in central Yangon, Myanmar, Sept. 24, 2012. Yangon is a town of taxis, small privately owned buses and other improvised vehicles providing alternative to the choking public transport.

    Reuters reports — For more than a century, owners of ox-drawn carts, World War Two-era trucks and decrepit buses have descended on a shrine under a banyan tree in Myanmar's biggest city to bless one of the world's oldest vehicle fleets, dominated by wheezing Japanese rust-buckets from the 1980s or older. Today, as the country emerges from 49 years of isolation, the Shwe Nyaung Pin Nat Shrine has new visitors - freshly minted cars.

    As Myanmar opens up, the most immediate physical changes are on its streets, as new cars begin plying roads long dominated by rattletrap buses and rusting taxies. Barely changed since the British colonial era in the early 20th century, some of the decades-old buses and trains are starting to be retired. Read the full story.

    A potential customer breastfeeds her baby at a newly imported car dealership in central Yangon, Sept. 23. Saloons with newly imported vehicles recently mushroomed across the country offering everything from Indian micro cars to expensive Rolls Royce models. It is now much easier and cheaper to import cars as the incredibly complicated and expensive procedure has been replaced with something more affordable.

    Passengers traveling on a government-owned ferry get ready to disembark at the Dallah township of Yangon, Sept. 18. Dallah Township, a short ferry ride cross the river, is the place where the big city touches the province. Thousands of daily migrants cross the river to Dallah using dangerous long tail boats and cheap government operated ferries.

    Drivers of different vehicles wait for passengers to arrive by ferry from Yangon to Dallah Township, Sept. 18. Thousands of daily migrants cross the river to Dallah using dangerous long tail boats and cheap government operated ferries. As soon as a ferry unloads passengers, hundreds of rickshaws, motorcycles, pick-up trucks and small busses start their loud performance to get people on-board. They don't leave on schedule and are often overcrowded.

    Passengers wait for a Bayboo bus to leave the station in North Dagon Township, Sept. 18. On line 61, several Bayboo, meaning 'big belly' in Burmese, buses take passengers from North Dagon Township to the city. Possibly the oldest operating bus in the world, "Bayboo" is an improvised local legend that has maneuvered dirty roads for over 70 years. The original vehicle, whose only charm is its spectacular ugliness, was a World War II military Chevrolet C15.

    Emboldened by political reforms, Myanmar villagers protest seized farmland from safety of monastery

    Soe Zeya Tun / Reuters

    Farmers cry inside a monastery, which they are using as a protest camp, in Monywa township, Myanmar, on Sept. 12. Villagers protested against the seizing of over 7,800 acres of farmland, involving 26 villages, for a copper mine project in Sarlingyi Township in Sagaing Division, about 450 miles northwest of Yangon. The mine project is a joint venture between a Chinese company and Myanmar's military-owned Myanmar Economic Holding Limited. Some villagers say they are satisfied with the compensations paid by the mining company while some others do not want to leave their village for compensation.

    Soe Zeya Tun / Reuters

    Villagers shout for their farms and villages during protests against the Lebadaung copper mine project in Sarlingyi township on Sept. 12.

    The Associated Press reports: Students have joined farmers and other people who have been protesting the seizure of land for a copper mining project in northwestern Myanmar jointly owned by the military and a Chinese company.

    The protest in Monywa in Sagaing region has been continuing since August, but expanded this week in response to the detention of its leaders, activists said Wednesday. The primary issue concerns the confiscation of nearly 8,000 acres (3,250 hectares) of land for the Monywa copper mine project, an area which includes 26 villages and several mountains.

    Emboldened by Myanmar's changing political climate, farmers, villagers, factory workers and others are now staging demonstrations in various parts of the country over issues ranging from land confiscation to electricity cuts. Read the full story.

    Burmese school teacher Aung Pee, 56, powers down a Burmese road on his solar battery powered bicycle as he makes the 38 kms journey to teach his school class, in Twortay township, south of Yangon, Myanmar. In Myanmar, where fuel prices are spiraling way above the pockets of the Burmese, most must ride crowded public buses and trucks. A few trishaws remain and bicycles are a perennial favorite in a country hampered by energy shortages, with one of the more ingenious experimenting with solar power to avoid the cost and shortages of fuel.

    Bangladesh under international pressure to open border to Rohingya refugees

    Boats carrying Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar, trying to cross the Naf river into Bangladesh to escape sectarian violence, are intercepted by Bangladeshi Coast Guard officials in Teknaf on June 18.

    Muslim Rohingyas continue to flee across the Naf river in boats to Bangladesh attempting to escape sectarian violence in Myanmar's Rakhine region only to be turned away by Bangladeshi border guards.

    Reuters reports, the violence, which displaced 30,000 people and killed 50 in Myanmar, also known as Burma, flared last month with a rampage of rock-hurling, arson and machete attacks, after the gang rape and murder of a Buddhist woman that was blamed on Muslims. 

    Bangladesh is coming under increasing international pressure to open its border to Rohingya, but has so far refused to do so.

    2,500 houses torched in a week in Myanmar sectarian clashes

    A fire truck arrives at a site where houses are on fire in Sittwe, capital of the western state of Rakhine, Myanmar, on June 15, 2012.

    More than 30,000 people have been displaced by deadly sectarian clashes in western Myanmar, a senior local official said on Thursday, and at least 29 people have been killed since June 8, with scores more wounded.

    More than 20 houses were burned down late on Thursday in a village near Sittwe, residents said, adding to the 2,500 torched in the past week. But there were no reports of further deaths.

    Rohingya Muslims, trying to cross the Naf river into Bangladesh to escape sectarian violence in Myanmar, look on from an intercepted boat in Teknaf on June 13, 2012. Bangladeshi guards have turned back 16 boats carrying more than 660 Rohingya people, most of them women and children, since June 11.

    Hundreds of Muslim Rohingyas have tried to flee in rickety boats to Bangladesh after days of sectarian violence in the Myanmar town of Sittwe, Reuters reports, but Bangladesh's foreign minister says the country will not take them in.

    Major Shafiqur Rahman of the Bangladesh Border Guard told Reuters by phone that 110 Rohingyas in three boats had landed in Teknaf on the southern tip of the Bangladesh mainland in the early hours of Wednesday. The two countries are separated in the area by a river that flows into the Bay of Bengal.

    Muslims flee burning homes during sectarian violence in Myanmar

    Muslim residents carry their belongings as they evacuate their houses amid ongoing violence in Sittwe, capital of Myanmar's western state of Rakhine on Tuesday. Dozens of people have been killed in a surge in sectarian violence in Myanmar, an official said on Tuesday as international pressure grew for an end to the bloodshed. A state of emergency has been declared in western Rakhine state, which has been rocked by a wave of rioting and arson, posing a major test for the reformist government which took power last year.

A Rohingya Muslim died in a Bangladeshi hospital June 12, days after he was shot allegedly by Myanmar security forces during last week's sectarian violence, police said. Bangladeshi border guards have been turning back boats transporting Rohingya Muslims fleeing violence in Myanmar, officials said, as the UN refugee agency called for the border to be opened.

    A Rohingya Muslim family, who fled Myanmar to Bangladesh to escape religious violence, sits at a relief camp in Taknaf, Bangladesh, on Tuesday. Bangladesh on Tuesday turned away three boats carrying 1,000 Rohingya Muslims fleeing violence in neighboring Myanmar, bringing to 1,500 the number of refugees blocked in recent days, officials said.

    Reuters reports that fighting has raged for five days in Sittwe in northwest Myanmar, and that some people are fleeing to Bangladesh:

    Hundreds of Rohingyas have fled in rickety boats for the shores of neighboring Bangladesh but are being turned back to sea by authorities there, say Bangladesh border officials. Many of the boats, packed with women and children, are left drifting.

    Groups of Buddhists patrolled the streets, some armed with bamboo stakes, machetes and sling-shots, witnesses said. Rohingyas were seen setting homes alight and throwing rocks. Min San Aye, Rakhine's Fire Department Chief, said some Rohingyas blocked roads.

    Reuters reports that at least seven people were killed in fighting in northwest Myanmar:

    The unrest undermines the image of ethnic unity and stability that helped persuade the United States and Europe to suspend economic sanctions this year, while increasing curfews could threaten tourism and foreign investment - rewards for emerging from nearly half a century of army rule.

    It might also force reformist President Thein Sein, a former general, to confront an issue that human rights groups have criticized for years: the plight of thousands of stateless Rohingya Muslims who live along Myanmar's border with Bangladesh in abject conditions and are despised by many ethnic Rakhine, members of Myanmar's predominantly Buddhist majority.

    British Dr Claudia Turner examines a child as staff assist at the SMRU hospital inside the Mae La refugee camp in Tak province, Thailand. The refugee camp is situated along the Burma-Thailand border and is home to around 50,000 refugees. Mae La is the largest of nine camps along the Thai border where the Burmese live in a stateless limbo for many years. Aung San Suu Kyi recently visited the camp during her first visit to Thailand in 24 years. She spoke briefly assuring that she would strive to bring about positive change and more cooperation from Thai authorities.
