Post Finally Gets Around To Reporting Move Of Burma's Capital
In early November of this year, the repressive Burmese (Myanmar) government abruptly packed up and began moving their capital from Rangoon (Yangon) to the isolated city of Pyinmana, 200 miles to the north.
The Washington Post is a little tardy reporting on this story. Today the WaPo places on the front page of the paper this news, which had been first reported in the United States by the blog Effwit (see Myanmar Abruptly Moves Government) shortly after the move began.
The intrepid Effwit, working from diplomatic sources, got the story correct to the actual minute the move began, and the possible reasons for the move.
