Thailand: Perpetual Crisis

Illegal Aliens Smuggling to and through Southeast Asia’s Golden Triangle

These are Chinese who have ended up on the Burmese side of the border with China, in a district called Kokang, by an accident of history. A mountainous area in Burma's northern Shan States, Kokang has always been a buffer zone-or link-between Yunnan and Burma. Although it remained part of China for centuries, Kokang's location in a remote corner of Yunnan made it impossible for the central government to control. But as trade between Yunnan and British Burma began to prosper in the late 19 th century, the British became increasingly interested in www.asiapacificms.com

The police had been returning prostitutes to Myanmar, until it was brought to their attention that 25 female prostitutes had been fatally injected with cyanide by Burmese authorities to stop the spread of HIV. Myanmar's military rulers have concentrated AIDS education on the military. They do not want the soldiers, who keep the military regime in power to become infected with AIDS. The reports of Burmese murders of prostitutes have come from all quarters. In the group of 25 prostitutes were two cousins of a Burmese citizen who reported the disappearance of his relatives after they left for a shopping trip in the southern Thai city of Ranong, opposite Kawthaung in Myanmar. Thai police found that the two cousins had been kidnapped and sold into prostitution in a brothel in Ranong, which had been raided by police. In the northern city of Chiang Mai, it is estimated that 10,000 of the prostitutes are Burmese girls and women. UNICEF has reported that as many as 40,000 Burmese girls are sold into prostitution in Bangkok and border towns such as Ranong and Chiang Mai. Anti-Slavery International estimated that more than 1500 of the prostitutes in Ranong are Burmese girls and women who have been forced into this work. Their condition is very similar to slavery. Girls are forced to work long hours and may be fed only a bowl of rice with watery soup. Prostitution flourished because 20,000 Burmese fisherman, who are at sea for prolonged periods, frequent the brothels on their return. There is a growing prevalence of HIV infection in Ranong in part due to the fishermen's widespread heroin use aboard ship. In Ranong, 1 in 5 prostitutes were found to be HIV positive including 1 in 3 of the Burmese women. Those locked in brothels are not included in the figures. Unfortunately the Burmese captives know no or very little Thai or English, which means there is no exposure to AIDS prevention efforts. Conditions were reported in a letter signed by 73 Burmese captive prostitutes who wanted to return to their parents. The letter was smuggled out of brothel operating in the Grand Victoria Hotel in Ranong. POlice raids and the return of prostitute to Myanmar by boat have been hindered by brothel owners who bribe officials.

Ces enfants-soldats seraient au nombre de cinquante mille. Les enfants des rues et les orphelins sont les plus vulnerables, et la voie birmane du socialisme n'a fait connaitre a nombre d'enfants et d'adolescents, depuis leur naissance, que la violence

Communism and Capital: Marxists Literature in Southeast Asia

‘Capital’ in the East, 2019

However, the issues of anti-colonial struggles, nationalism and ethnic identification dented the influence of once-powerful communist parties in Southeast Asia and eventually led to the demise of those movements they steered. Moreover, the fact that these communist movements with their widely disparate agendas and sometimes idiosyncratic policies were at times only tangentially related to the ideas of Marx and Engels also contributed to this fall. Yet, 150 years after the publication of Capital, Marxism is not dead in Southeast Asia. It continues to influence young, and some old, activists and social reformers. In Myanmar as well as in Thailand, where the countries’ respective militaries are still powerful, Marxist theory is seen by many as an ‘antidote’ to mili...

But the battle for the country is far from over, and its future remains uncertain. The fractures that led to the confrontation in the first place have yet to be mended. Thai society has become deeply polarized, with different elites jockeying for power and the urban population pitted against the rural population, the north and the northeast against Bangkok and the south, and the poor against the rich. With Thailand's economy now contracting, these divisions might become even more salient. To make matters worse, speculation abounds about the health of the country's 81-year-old monarch, Bhumibol Adulyadej, who has traditionally stood for stability and continuity.
