On this page you will find some useful links to web sites and articles that discuss some of the key issues relating to Burma's current situation. We have tried to include links to a wide variety of sources, some of which have very differing opinions on how a solution may be reached. The situation is complex and we encourage you to read widely and form your own opinion.
As many of the larger news sites, such as the BBC, track which stories are being viewed, just the act of viewing these articles will help keep stories about Burma in the news. Last but not least, we suggest other ways in which you can help. There is a large online community behind the cause. Read the news articles. Join the community groups. Sign the petitions. Show your support.
