Democracy Is The Solution For All Disasters

Typhoons swept over Myanmar and tens of thousand of people died. More people died not due to typhoons but due to the way the Myanmar military junta handled the rescues. Tons of food and emergency aids came to Myanmar to rescue the victims but the junta refused the rescue workers to distribute the items to the victims. Worse, the foreign ships are barred from entering the Myanmar ports to unload the food , medcine and the necessary items.
Thus, we can see clearly from here that dictators could bring more disasters to a nation and its people compared to natural disasters. As long as a country is ruled by dictators, people will continue to suffer.What the Myanmese need is not food aid. They need democracy.
