Burmese Exiles Mount Anti-Total Protests Worldwide
Burmese exile groups staged demonstrations on Wednesday outside French embassies around the world in protest against investment in Burma by the French oil giant Total. The demonstrators charge the French government with...[opposing] EU sanctions against Burma in order to protect Total’s interests. Total is the largest European corporate investor in Burma. The company developed Burma’s Yadana gas fields, which are earning the Burmese government US $200-450 million annually.
