Now, nearly one million people have fled Burma’s political and economic chaos for neighboring countries, and another million people remain internally displaced.

当缅甸在1997年加入东盟时，在整个地区只有21万名缅甸难民和寻求政治避难者。而现在，有近100万人已从缅甸的政治和经济混乱中逃到了邻国，还有一百万人在缅甸国内处于颠沛流离的状态。我们的年轻人从大量流入的，以安非他明类兴奋剂(ATS)为主的麻醉品中染上毒瘾的风险正处于历史最高点。而这些毒品的源头正是缅甸，那里的将军们和毒枭沆瀣一气。
