70 killed in Myanmar crackdown on anti-coup protesters: U.N. expert

At least 70 people have been killed in the crackdown on anti-coup protesters by Myanmar security forces since the military took control of the country last month, a U.N. expert on human rights in the Southeast Asian country said Thursday.

“Credible reports indicate that, as of today, Myanmar security forces have murdered at least 70 people,” Thomas Andrews said at a session of the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva.

France says Lebanon ‘running out of time before total collapse’

“It’s tempting to say it is a case of non-assistance to a country in danger by Lebanese politicians,” French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told a news conference.

“Everyone knows what needs to be done.”

France has taken a leading role in trying to break the political deadlock in its former protectorate, with President Emmanuel Macron visiting the country twice last year.

Lebanon’s deeply divided political class has failed to agree on a new cabinet since a massive explosion in Beirut port last August that killed more than 200 people and led to the government’s resignation.

AFTERMATH

They no longer knew who to protect. Day after day revenue growth had drained all of the hospital’s resources. The supply of medicines had long since been suspended.The sick crowded in the corridors and the dead, in offices, laboratories and waiting rooms after the cellars and parking lots did not fit another soul. And when we thought we had seen it all, hunger arrived, well equipped with misery and frustration and sneaked into our homes without meeting the slightest resistance.
People were clamoring for justice, but the lawyers were exhausted and could not cope. The demands piled up one on top of the other, fiery, impatient, angry. We were all so busy with our problems, with our troubles, that no one realized that there were hardly any trees left to make coffins.
