Monks Silenced

I read an article in the New York Times a couple of weeks ago about a nation crackdown. The internet was shut off in Myanmar, and the Monks were being silenced. There was a lot of network coverage over the thousands of monks in red robes protesting in the streets of violence and chaos, against their government officials. And after seeing videos and pictures of their people rising up against them; the Generals in charge of Myanmar, were embarrassed by it and cut their nation off from the rest of the world. The generals considered the internet to be their biggest enemy, and Myanmar was unplugged from the rest of the world.
