Burma or Myanmar / Rangoon or Yangon.
Here I just want to do something in memory of those died in Burmese monks' protest these days. Personally, I feel it's a very different pretest since it's in a country with 80-90% Buddhist in population. Anyway, hope Aung San Suu Kyi can still play an important part in Burmese democracy and its peace.
As for the answer, according to BBC, this country is known as Myanmar which is recognised by the United Nations, and by countries such as France and Japan. But United States and the UK. doesn't recognize the legitimacy of the regime that changed the name. That's why we can see both names of this country appears in the news.
Similarly and in the meantime of the ruling military junta's changes, Rangoon also became Yangon.
