What is the effective way to get rid of the oppressive military junta in Burma?

Burma has been under this dictator regime for decades now. Its people, mainly the ethnic groups are victims of violence and torture. The villagers have their villages destroyed and burnt and they have to flee in the jungle. The farmers have to pay high taxes and end up with insufficient harvest. The children don't go to school because the parents can't afford the price. The soldiers take by force the food and the money of the villagers. Men undergo forced labor, Women are object of rape and murder. people are shot insight.

Today there are hundred of thousands of displaced people all around Burma. Over 3 million refugees in neighboring countries. The refugees usually have underpaid jobs and are exposed to discrimination, violence and to human trafficking sometimes. Those in the camps have a better situation but no future outside.

The opposition is defeated in killing pots or in jails. There are at least 2000 political prisoners.

All this and the UN seems to be unable to do more than sending an envoy

The international banks are negatively contributing by keeping the fortunes of junta leaders safe.

Well could it be worse???

    Maybe economic pressure would help. Also supporting internal dissident groups.
