В Бирме уже давно есть своя Каталония, территория с процветающей экономикой, всеми силами стремящаяся к независимости. За территорией штата Шан уже столетиями закреплен имидж опиумной столицы мира. Вооруженная борьба за национальную автономию финансируется за счет средств, полученных от оптовой реализации высококачественного опиума. Говорят, что сейчас наркобароны сменили квалификацию и ведут вполне легальный бизнес, торгуя табаком и чаем, но если вы в это верите, то вы, вероятно, курите их особый чай в слишком больших количествах. В начале 1990-х годов центральное правительство Мьянмы заключило ряд соглашений о перемирии с представителями шанского повстанческого движения. По некоторым сведениям, одним из условий прекращения вооруженного сопротивления была негласная договоренность о легализации доходов от незаконного оборота наркотиков. Для того, чтобы обычному туристу попасть на эти территории, нужно получить дополнительное разрешение. Каждый иностранец регистрируется при въезде и за его передвижениями ведется тщательный контроль. Но, поверьте, оно того стоит ― природа здесь абсолютно космическая и люди фантастические. // Burma has its own Catalonia ― a territory with a thriving economy, doing its utmost to become independent. The Shan State for a very long time has had the image of the opium capital of the world. Armed struggle for national autonomy is financed with funds received from the wholesale of high-quality opium. They say that the drug lords replaced their businesses and started to run legitimate tobacco and tea businesses, but if you believe that you’ve probably been smoking too much of their special tea. In the early 1990s, the central government of Myanmar signed a number of agreements on a ceasefire with the Shan insurgency. Supposedly one of the conditions to end the conflict was a tacit agreement on the possibility of legalisation of proceeds from drug trafficking. Regular travellers should get special permission to visit these area with foreigner registered at the entrance and movements carefully accounted and controlled. But, believe me, it's worth it ― the nature is absolutely incredible here and people are openhearted. #непутевыезаметочки
Burma has long had its own Catalonia, a territory with a thriving economy, striving for independence by all means. The Shan State has been an image of the world's opium capital for centuries. The armed struggle for national autonomy is financed by the funds received from the wholesale of high-quality opium. They say that now the drug lords have changed their qualifications and are running a completely legal business, selling tobacco and tea, but if you believe in this, then you probably smoke their special tea in too large quantities. In the early 1990s, Myanmar's central government entered into a series of ceasefire agreements with representatives of the Shan rebel movement. According to some reports, one of the conditions for ending the armed resistance was a tacit agreement on the legalization of proceeds from illegal drug trafficking. In order for an ordinary tourist to get to these territories, you need to obtain an additional permit. Every foreigner is registered upon entry and his movements are closely monitored. But, believe me, it's worth it - the nature here is absolutely cosmic and the people are fantastic. // Burma has its own Catalonia - a territory with a thriving economy, doing its utmost to become independent.
