YANGON, Feb. 8 () -- Myanmar's foreign trade is expected to grow more than 30 percent to reach 16.1 billion U.S. dollars in the fiscal year 2011-12 from 12 billion dollars in the previous year thanks to trade policy change, according to local media on Wednesday.The trade volume attained 14 billion dollars in the first ten months (April-January) of 2011-12, the Myanmar Times quoted the Ministry of Commerce as saying.Of the total during the period, the export took 7.1 billion dollars while the import represented 7.3 billion dollars and these earning were mainly gained from the export of natural gas, marine products, rice, minerals and beans and pulses.Meanwhile, to boost export, the government has exempted commercial tax on a number of export items such as rice, beans and pulses, corn, sesame, rubber, freshwater and saltwater products and animal products (except prohibited ones) as well as value-added products made of timber, bamboo and rattan.Myanmar mainly exports agricultural, animal, marine, mineral, forestry products and finished goods, while it imports cement, agricultural machinery and its spare parts, computer and electronic devices, motor cars, motorcycles, mobile phones and their accessories.
DAMASCUS, June 4 () -- Clashes in the Lebanese city of Tripoli that claimed the lives of 14 people and wounded scores others and which were seen by many as an extension of the Syrian crisis, has promoted thousands of Syrian workers to flee the country, thus overburdening the staggering Syrian economy.Lebanese security forces imposed Sunday a tenuous calm in Tripoli after deadly armed clashes between supporters and opponents of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad over the weekend claimed the lives of 14 people and wounded scores of others.The clashes, the fourth of its kind between the rival neighborhoods since June last year, came weeks after 11 were killed in similar fighting.Following reports in Lebanon that a Syrian worker was found killed and that his throat was slashed, nearly 7,000 Syrian workers, especially those who work in southern Lebanon, moved back to their country.Media reports said that the workers have had mounting fears of reprisals following clashes in Lebanon, which some Lebanese held the Syrian government part of responsibility for.Unemployment has further increased the economic hardships in the country and exhausted the Syrian citizen. A lot of Syrians suffer also compulsory displacement inside the country as a result of military operations in some cities and towns.Syrian officials said that the rate of unemployment in the country had reached 14.8 percent in 2012, but many others speculate that the number could be much higher and had even reached a "frightening and alarming" record.The capital Damascus is now overcrowded by Syrians who fled their areas seeking save haven in the capital that is still relatively the best among all Syrian cities regardless of some sporadic gunshots and reverberations of far bombings.It is almost impossible for the displaced Syrians to find jobs in the capital which is already suffering from dipping business that has prompted most of private sector establishments to fire a big number of their workers.Syrians in general do not expect the economic circumstances in their country to get better in the near future.Adnan Hamed, who has left his house in the Damascus suburb of Harasta few months ago and rented an apartment in Damascus, told that he is no more able to live in such high-rent apartment and has opted to return to his house despite the security risks that are laying ahead.Displacement has sent rental fees of apartments in Damascus skyrocketing. An apartment that was used to be leased for 20,000 Syrian pounds (312 U.S. dollars) a month ahead of the crisis is not rented for 75,000 Syrian pounds (about 1,173 dollars) now."I left behind my shop and my house seeking a secured and quite place, but now may savings are about to finish and I have to go back," Hamed said.Another citizen who identified himself as Ahmed is from the central province of Homs. He said he moved to Damascus with his wife and two kids seven months ago and complained of running short of his savings."I spent nearly one million Syrian pounds (about 15,650 dollars) in the capital and sold my wife's jewelry ... now I have nothing to sell and I can't find a job," he grumbled.Joblessness and instability are annoying factors in Syria and there is no specific data about those who have lost their jobs and incomes due to the deteriorating security conditions.The prolonged crisis has caused gross losses in various sectors, and Syria's oil sector, an artery of the Syrian economy, has lost around 4 billion Syrian pounds (about 62.6 million dollars) since the eruption of the crisis in mid March 2011.The crisis has also cast dim shadows on the health sector amid reports that the local markets is running low on imported drugs and vaccine owing to the economic siege imposed on the country by the West.Wael al-Halqi, Syria's Minister of Health, told the official SANA news agency that his ministry would take all required measures to bring in different kinds of drugs from new sources to meet the local market's needs.Halqi stressed that local medicines are still available and covers 93 percent of the market's need, promising to provide other drugs within a week.

WASHINGTON, April 11 () -- The White House on Wednesday said that it was "deeply concerned" about the situation in Bahrain and called on all parties in the Gulf state to refrain from violence."The United States continues to be deeply concerned about the situation in Bahrain, and we urge all parties to reject violence in all its forms," White House spokesman Jay Carney said in a statement.Carney condemned the violence against Bahrain's police and government institutions, while he also called on the police to exercise "maximum restraint," and condemned the use of excessive force and indiscriminate use of tear gas against protesters.Carney underscored the importance for both the government and people of Bahrain to work together to address the "underlying causes of mistrust and to promote reconciliation.""In this respect, we note our continued concern for the well- being of jailed activist Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja and call on the Government of Bahrain to consider urgently all available options to resolve his case," he said.Carney renewed the U.S. call for Bahrain's government, opposition parties, and all spectrums of the society to engage in a "genuine dialogue leading to meaningful reforms that address the legitimate aspirations of all Bahrainis."In the past few weeks, the situation in Bahrain deteriorated as anti-government protesters stepped up their demonstrations.On Monday, seven policemen were severely injured after a home- made explosion detonated, with three of them still in critical condition.Protesters allied with Bahrain's largest opposition group Al Wefaq National Islamic Society are demanding the release of activists Abdulhadi Al Khawaja and Shia cleric Hassam Mushaima. Both of them were arrested last year on charges of overthrowing the regime and were jailed for life.Bahrain, home to the U.S. Fifth Fleet, was hit by a wave of anti-government protests last year.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 () -- The United States on Tuesday imposed sanctions on two senior Iranian officers for alleged serious human rights abuses in the Islamic republic.The Departments of Treasury and State blacklisted Hassan Firouzabadi, chairman of Iran's Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Abdollah Araqi, deputy commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Ground Force, under a presidential order targeting serious human rights abuses by government officials and persons in Iran since the June 2009 presidential election.The move bars any transactions with the pair, and their assets on U.S. soil are frozen in addition to visa denial."The Iranian people have suffered tremendously at the hands of senior officials, who instead of protecting their basic rights have ordered and orchestrated widespread, serious human rights abuses aimed at silencing criticism and punishing dissent," said Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control Director Adam Szubin."In support of the Iranian people's quest for justice and accountability, we are taking further action today to expose the involvement of senior Iranian government officials in serious human rights abuses," he said in a statement.The U.S. has slapped sanctions on a number of Iranian officials and individuals since the controversial 2009 election in Iran, which led to protests in the country.
