Caricature of General Than Shwe of Myanmar. In the forefront of the cartoon are bags of 'fortified wheat flour' from the World Food Programme' and piles of bags of other kinds of food staples as well that have been sent to Myanmar by aid organisations. Behind the sacks of food is a heavy chain which stretches across the area preventing the food from being taken into Myanmar. There is also a signpost showing crossed swords below a grinning skull which is headed with the name 'Myanmar'. General Shwe stands in front of the signpost and chain with his arms outstretched indicating that he is the instigator of this refusal to accept international aid to help the victims of Cyclone Nargis which struck Myanmar on May 3 2008.
