(ANS – Yangon) – “In the collective drama marked by insecurity and uncertainty about the future, it is still possible to maintain hope in Myanmar, even amidst conflict, poverty, and the painful feeling of international abandonment. But this hope is not naive optimism: it is a Christian hope born from the Cross and the Resurrection. Hope in Myanmar today is a crucified hope, and yet it is not dead.” This is what the Archbishop of Yangon, the Salesian Cardinal Charles Maung Bo, stated in a message in which he describes the situation in the country five years after the coup.
