"Free Burma Rangers" a controversial yet efficient "humanitarian resistance" group • The Observers

They allow their men to bear arms and openly admits they have taken the side of the ethnic rebel groups who are fighting the government.
What The Free Burma Rangers and their founder, a former US special forces offcier and current pastor are doing is the exact opposite of traditional humanitarian groups.
They're what a former policy adviser for the Red Cross calls a "humaniatrian resistance". They might be controversial, but they get things done

[@mythought1654]

free Burma ranger did incredible job for the oppress ppl from hard to reach area. Their operative area have almost no access from humanitarian groups nor former government services. The situation inside Burma, not just conflict between different perspectives but the minority/ oppress vs the dictatorship. Myanmar Red Cross society merely acting as propaganda for Military dictatorship. Even UN organisation ignore ppl voice or concern.

[@DCrypt1]

Exactly, most NGOs and especially the UN are completely corrupt.

[@mofo78536]

Don't knock on the Red Cross, the neutrality is there for a purpose. But however, we need both Red Cross and these Rangers to cover both sides of the humanitarian spectrum from the wider outside of conflict stabilization to the on the ground works. Plus having these rangers on the ground would help encourage the rebel sides to adhere to humanitarian principles as well like not executing prisoners of war.

[@mythought1654]

@@mofo78536 I totally agree with your statement except Myanmar Red Cross society. This group is a different story from international Red Cross.

Worked with Dave and FBR nearly a decade. Highly effective, highly gracious and only want the best for everyone - unfortunately the Junta are violent psyche paths who don't care about anyone but themselves. For any right minded, compassionate person, there is no real "sides" here. I support the Burmese resistance and support the Free Burma Rangers.
