Abstract
Although the Myanmar coup occurred in February 2021, the world paid little attention mostly because the citizens were not white, not European, and the country did not hold huge oil reserves. Subsequent to the coup, Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, and Israel responded to the Hamas attack on its territory by invading Gaza in 2023. Both of these events assured that the international community paid little to no attention to the plight of the people of Myanmar under the thumb of a repressive military dictatorship after having their freely elected democracy ripped away. If Ukraine is worthy of global attention, then the human beings in Myanmar deserve an equal amount of compassion and assistance to stop their needless suffering that has gone on for way too long. It is time for the international community to act to remove the Tatmadaw in Myanmar and restore the democratically elected government to its rightful place of governance.
