[shock]

That man is the real voice of myanmar.

[starlitnews]

Bravo, ambassador, "Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today"

[curiousuranus]

Full marks to that ambassador and it rather strikes me that the worst thing to happen to a country is to share a boarder with China.

[ras]

He's not pushing against his own country he's standing up for it.

[bishallama]

The veto power must be cancelled...this is getting ridiculous ...when more than 80 percent of security council agree then the resolution should be implemented

[Mac-bzrc]

People in Myanmar want the real Democracy.

A Leader goes to UN Security Council and begs for assistance. Let’s see what he actually gets besides words of support.

[gelloyangsteryang]

the junta is known for playing dirty

[Vic]

He agree not only CRPH also NLD, He support Aung San Suu Kyi and 54 mil voices of myanmar poeples.

[myanmarfishkeeper]

But you can bring in humanitarian intervention. UN presence on the ground will gave us huge protections and safety to civilian before the massacre.
It's protection by presense. Just like the light can spot the wrong doing in the darkness.

[yamaytona]

That's a punto de vista express what good for Myanmar Saluti Grande to you : Free first the President then freedom liberty a la primera solucion.

[nangsamphoo]

This is the first time, Myanmar representative spoke out the truth, please help our Myanmar community, please, as soon as possible, please

[josephstalin]

Well he won't be able to come home now

[rafaelcunanan]

The UN must prove that it is till relevant.
Because what is happening in Myanmar is also happening in Hong Kong.
UN must make up it's mind to either do it's job or listen to China/Russia.
God Bless Always.🙏🙏🙏

[cedyy]
