SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

The Alliance of All Burmese Buddhist Monks vowed to continue the anti-government protests until they had "wiped the military dictatorship from the land", the BBC reported.

Thousands of monks marched peacefully in Yangon, Mandalay, and other Myanmar cities Saturday in the sixth day of protests and the largest show of government opposition since the uprising in 1988.

The monks are revered in Myanmar, formerly Burma, making the government hesitant to stop them, the BBC said. However, the longer the protests continue, the weaker the government appears, the BBC reported.

The protests began last month when the government doubled fuel prices and have grown in strength and enthusiasm as more monks join the protest ranks, many with traditional alms bowls turned upside down as a sign of their disgust with the government.
