While a cyclone heads into the coast of Myanmar today, the people of this region are in wait for the upcoming vote on a new constitution that the protestors of this country say vote "no" for it is a sham by the military gov't, which took control of a democratically lead country in the early 90's. The military gov't controlled high fuel hike lead to the September protests known as the Saffron Revolution. This fuel hike by a heavy handed gov't has an overall poor quality of life sprouting from forced labor to high food prices in the region. Here's an article on the forced labor which has lead to refugees fleeing the country. (Myanmar, the largest rice exporter, is also trying to form a Rice Cartel with other countries - second link.)
