PM’s blog post on Burma
PM’s blog post on Burma
The Prime Minister has written a blog post for the Huffington Post about the UN Secretary-General’s visit to Burma, published on 3 July 2009.
Read the blog post
When UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon meets the military dictatorship in Burma today he will have the whole world with him.
His mission, to persuade the junta to release all political prisoners and engage with democracy, is critical to the future of the Burmese people.
But it is also a crucial moment for the international community.
In recent weeks, we have seen an extraordinary consensus around the world in support of all those forced to suffer under the Burmese regime.
The UN, the EU, and ASEAN have all made clear the need for urgent change. More than 45 Heads of State have added their voices to the call.
How we respond to the injustices in Burma will send a message about our resolution to tackle similar abuses across the globe.
Political and humanitarian conditions in the country continue to deteriorate.
When over 140,000 were killed and millions made destitute by Cyclone Nargis last year the world’s efforts to help were resisted, a peaceful uprising by monks in 2007 was violently quashed, ethnic minorities are persecuted and under armed attack.
The media are muzzled, freedom of speech and assembly are non-existent and the number of political prisoners has doubled to more than 2000.
As Secretary-General Ban arrives, the most high profile of them - Aung San Suu Kyi - faces further persecution from the Generals as her sham trial resumes.
She has long been a symbol of hope and defiance during her 14 years as a prisoner of conscience.
She is a most courageous woman. In those long years, she has barely seen her two sons - yet is resolute in her faith in democracy and the Burmese people.
Her refusal to buckle in the face of tyranny is an inspiration.
I call on the regime to mark Ban Ki Moon’s arrival by immediately halting her trial, which makes a mockery of justice, and ending her detention which undermines their credibility in the eyes of the world.
But while hugely significant, this alone would not be the sole measure of progress.
Only agreement to release all political prisoners, start a genuine dialogue with the opposition and ethnic groups will give any credibility to the elections in 2010.
I hope that Ban Ki Moon can convince the Generals to take the first steps. A serious offer is on the table: the international community will work with Burma if the Generals are prepared to embark on a genuine transition to democracy.
But if the Burmese regime refuses to engage, the international community must be prepared to respond robustly.
We should not rest until Aung San Suu Kyi - and all those who share her commitment to a better and brighter future for Burma - are able to play their rightful role in it.
The Burmese people have been condemned to nearly half a century of conflict, poverty and isolation. It is time to give them the chance of a new beginning.
The regime can choose to ignore the clamour for change. Or it can choose the path of reform as the region, and the world, have urged.
Today can be the start.

SPEAKER Ivan Lewis
DATE 03/07/2009
Foreign Office Minister Ivan Lewis spoke to BBC World News about the visit of UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's visit to Burma, 3 July 2009.
Read the transcript
Jonathan Charles (JC): Ban Ki-moon’s trip to Burma is just part of the growing international pressure on Burma attempting to achieve the release of pro democracy leader Aung San Su Kyi. Many Governments are also trying to exert leverage.
I’ve been speaking to the British Foreign Office Minister responsible for Burma, Ivan Lewis. Does he think that Mr Ban’s visit can achieve anything?
Ivan Lewis (IL): Well we strongly support his mission. We want to see the immediate release of Aung San Su Kyi, the other two thousand one hundred political prisoners. And we want him to send a strong message from the international community that the human rights abuses, particularly of minorities in Burma need to come to an end and we want to see a road map to reform in time for the 2010 elections. So he has our full support and he will be delivering tough messages.
JC: Well he himself has described it as a very tough mission that he’s on.
IL: It is a tough mission. We believe in the man, we believe in his office and we believe if ever there was a test of the United Nations relevance Burma is that test. That’s why we’ve been strongly supportive of the mission, that’s why we believe he’s doing absolutely the right thing and it’s also why our Prime Minister for example only recently spoke directly to the President of China because it’s very important that Burma’s friends and neighbours also send a clear and strong message about the abuse, human rights abuses, and also about political prisoners.
JC: I suppose the trouble is that the Burmese ruling military junta has not in the past proved very susceptible to international pressure and there has been a lot of pressure on them.
IL: Well the message via the Secretary General from the international community is that Burma has a choice. That choice is to continue contravening human rights, to continue imprisoning political prisoners, or to come in to the main stream, to be part of the international community. And in a sense this mission by the Secretary General is a crucial pivotal moment in the choices that Burma has to make.
JC: The generals know there’s a bit of a danger for them though and that is that if they release Aung San Su Kyi she becomes a beacon against them and possibly they could be swept from power.
IL: Maybe, but that’s the consequences of democracy and if they’re serious about free and fair elections in 2010 to imprison the leading opposition leader is completely contrary to any notion of free and fair elections. So you can’t have this double speak, trumped up charges, a bogus trial that Aung San Su Kyi now faces, that needs to be brought to an end. She needs to be released immediately, but so do the other two thousand one hundred political prisoners.
JC: Well I suppose opposition people would say they’re not really serious about the 2010 elections. Do you think there’s any reason at all to be optimistic about change in Burma?
IL: My generation saw the Berlin wall come down, Nelson Mandela become President of South Africa, peace in Northern Ireland, a black American elected as President of the United States. So yes, I believe the job of Governments around the world in these difficult conflicts, challenges, circumstances, is always to go for optimism and hope over despair. But in the end this will be about the choices that the Burmese regime make.

A united message to Burma on human rights abuses
A united message to Burma on human rights abuses (03/07/2009)
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon travelled to Burma today to put pressure on Burma to release the pro democracy leader Aung San Su Kyi. His visit is part of wider international pressure being applied to Burma by governments worldwide, sending a united message to Burma that human rights abuses, particularly of minorities in Burma, need to come to an end.
Commenting on the visit Foreign Office Minister Ivan Lewis said:
"We strongly support his mission. We want to see the immediate release of Aung San Su Kyi, the other two thousand one hundred political prisoners. And we want him to send a strong message from the international community that the human rights abuses, particularly of minorities in Burma need to come to an end and we want to see a road map to reform in time for the 2010 elections.

The Prime Minister's wife Sarah Brown has also joined high profile women from around the world calling for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi. She has joined fifty First Ladies, Nobel Laureates and leaders from the world of politics, human rights and the arts to issue a 64 word message.
The message reads:
"Aung San Suu Kyi inspires us all. In recent weeks regional leaders have led demands for her freedom and for reform in Burma. Today we - women from all around the world - add our voices to that call. Until she, and the thousands of other political prisoners in Burma, are released we must keep the spotlight on their plight. The world must not stand by."

ေဘာလုံးဝါသနာရွင္မ်ား သုဝဏၰကြင္း ေလးဘက္ေလးတန္ ျပည့္သြားကာ လက္ရမ္းေဘာင္မ်ားေပၚတြင္ပင္ ကုတ္တြယ္ တက္ထုိင္ၿပီး အားေပးၾကသည္။ လူသြားလမ္းမ်ားတြင္လည္း မတ္တတ္ရပ္ ၾကည့္သူမ်ားျဖင့္ ျပည့္ႏွက္ေနသည္။
ဗုိလ္လုပဲြစဥ္ကုိ ရုပ္ျမင္သံၾကားတြင္ တုိက္ရုိက္ ထုတ္လႊင့္ ျပသေသာေၾကာင့္ ညေနပုိင္း လွ်ပ္စစ္မီးရရိွသူ ရန္ကုန္ေဒသခံမ်ားက ေနအိမ္ ရုပ္ျမင္သံၾကားေရွ႕မွ အားေပးၾကသည္။
ေဘာလုံးကြင္းအထိ သြားေရာက္အားေပးၾကသူမ်ားမွာ ပဲြမစမီ သုံးေလးနာရီ ခန္႔ကပင္ တဖဲြဖဲြ ႀကိဳတင္ေရာက္ေနၾကသည္။

ေၾကးစား ေဘာလုံးအသင္း ၈ သင္းထဲမွ အေကာင္းဆုံး အသင္း ၂ သင္း ျဖစ္ေသာ ရတနာပံု FC အသင္းႏွင့္ ရန္ကုန္ ယူႏိုက္တက္ FC အသင္းတုိ႔ အႀကိတ္အနယ္ ယွဥ္ၿပိဳင္ၾကသည့္ ဗုိလ္လုပဲြ ျဖစ္သည္။
ရတနာပံု FC အသင္းသည္ မႏၱေလးတုိင္းကုိယ္စားျပဳအသင္းျဖစ္သည္။ ရန္ကုန္ ယူႏိုက္တက္ FC အသင္းမွာ ရန္ကုန္တုိင္းကုိ ကုိယ္စားျပဳသည္။
ရန္ကုန္ယူႏုိက္တက္အသင္းသည္ ဗုိလ္ခ်ဳပ္မွဴးႀကီး သန္းေရႊႏွင့္ နီးစပ္သည္ဟု သတင္းထြက္ေနေသာ ဦးေတဇ ပုိင္ဆုိင္သည့္အသင္း ျဖစ္သည္။ ထုိ႔ေၾကာင့္ ဒုိင္လူႀကီးမ်ား အားကုိးျဖင့္ ရန္ကုန္အသင္း အႏုိင္ရရိွေရးကုိ ေဆာင္ရြက္လိမ့္မည္ဟုပင္ တခ်ဳိ႕က တြက္ဆထားၾကသည္။
ထုိတြက္ဆခ်က္မ်ား မွားသြားသည္။ ရတနာပံု FC အသင္း အႏုိင္ရၿပီး ဖလားကုိ ဆြတ္ခူးသြားေလသည္။ ႏွစ္ဂိုးစီ သေရက်ေနသျဖင့္ ပင္နယ္တီ ဆံုးျဖတ္ခ်က္ ခံယူခဲ့ရာ ရတနာပုံအသင္းက ၆ ဂုိး ၃ ဂုိးျဖင့္ အႏုိင္ရရိွသြားျခင္း ျဖစ္သည္။
ရန္ကုန္အသင္း အသင္းေခါင္းေဆာင္ ဂုိးသမား ေအာင္ေအာင္ဦးက အစြမ္းကုန္ ကာကြယ္ေသာ္လည္း ဂုိးမ်ား အသြင္းခံရသည္။
သုိ႔ေသာ္လည္း သူ၏ ႀကိဳးပမ္းခ်က္မွာ ၆ ဂုိး အသြင္းခံခ့ဲရသျဖင့္ ခ်ီးက်ဴးျခင္း မခံရေပ။
“ဟုိခုန္ ဒီခုန္နဲ႔ ဟန္ေရးျပတာ မ်ားသြားတယ္ေလ။ ဒါေၾကာင့္ အသြင္းခံရတာ” ဟု ရန္ကုန္အသင္းဘက္မွ အားေပးသူ ရန္ကုန္သားတဦးက ေျပာသည္။

ရန္ကုန္အသင္းက ဂုိးရရိွခ်ိန္တြင္ တီဗီၾကည့္ ပရိသတ္ထံမွ “ဂုိး”ဟူေသာ ဝမ္းသာအားရ ေအာ္ဟစ္လုိက္သံမ်ား ဆူညံသြားသည္။
“လမ္းထဲမွာေတာ့ တီဗီကေန ေတာ္ေတာ္ ၾကည့္ၾကတယ္။ ရန္ကုန္က ဂုိးသြင္းလုိက္ရင္ေတာ့ က်ဳပ္တုိ႔ တုိက္ခန္းေတြမွာ ေျခေဆာင့္ၿပီး ေအာ္ၾကတာ ပြက္ေလာရုိက္ေနတာပဲ။ ဟုိက သြင္းလုိက္ရင္ေတာ့ ျငိမ္သြားပါေလေရာ၊ လုံးဝ အသံ မထြက္ေတာ့ဘူး” ဟု ရန္ကုန္ၿမိဳ႕လယ္ အထပ္ျမင့္တုိက္ခန္းတခုတြင္ ေနထုိင္သူ စာေရးဆရာတဦးက ေျပာသည္။
ေဘာလုံးပဲြ က်င္းပရာ သုဝဏၰကြင္းထဲတြင္လည္း ေအာ္ဟစ္ အားေပးသံမ်ားျဖင့္ ဆူပြက္ေနသည္။ ရန္ကုန္တြင္ ျပဳလုပ္ေသာပဲြ ျဖစ္ေသာ္လည္း မႏၱေလးမွ ပရိသတ္အမ်ားအျပား ေရာက္ေနေသာေၾကာင့္ ပရိသတ္က ဆတူခန္႔ ျဖစ္သြားသည္။
ဗုိလ္လုပဲြသုိ႔ သြားေရာက္ ၾကည့္ရႈမည့္ ပရိသတ္ အေရအတြက္ကုိ ကန္႔သတ္သည့္ အာဏာပုိင္တုိ႔က ဝင္ေၾကးကုိလည္း တုိးျမွင့္ခ့ဲရာ ရိုးရိုးတန္း လက္မွတ္ကုိ က်ပ္ ၅ဝဝ မွ က်ပ္ ၂ဝဝဝ သုိ႔ ေျပာင္းလုိက္သည္။ အထူးတန္း က်ပ္ ၁ဝဝဝ တန္လက္မွတ္မွာ က်ပ္ ၃ဝဝဝ ျဖစ္သြားသည္။
“အဲလိုသတ္မွတ္တာက ပရိသတ္ တခ်ိဳ႕ ဆူပူမွာကို ကာကြယ္ရာ ေရာက္သလို အသင္းႀကီးေတြ ယွဥ္ၿပိဳင္တဲ့ အခါ ပရိသတ္ကို ထိန္းတဲ့ သေဘာပါ” ဟု ျမန္မာ ႏုိင္ငံ ေဘာလံုး အဖြဲ႔ခ်ဳပ္ ျပန္ၾကား ေရးတာဝန္ခံ ဦးစိုးမိုးက သတင္းေထာက္မ်ားကုိ ေျပာဖူးသည္။
က်ပ္ ၃ဝဝဝ တန္ အထူးတန္း ပဲြၾကည့္စင္ လက္မွတ္မွာ ကြင္းအျပင္ဘက္ ေမွာင္ခုိ ေစ်းကြက္တြင္ က်ပ္ ၉ဝဝဝ ဝန္းက်င္ ျဖစ္သြားသည္။
သုဝဏၰကြင္း အျပင္ဘက္ရိွ လက္မွတ္ မရသည့္ ေထာင္ႏွင့္ ခ်ီေသာ ပရိသတ္ကုိလည္း ေဘာလုံးပဲြ တနည္းတဖုံ ၾကည့္ႏုိင္ရန္ အာဏာပုိင္တုိ႔က စီစဥ္ေပးသည္။ သုဝဏၰ ေလ့က်င့္ေရးကြင္း အမွတ္ ၁ ႏွင့္ အမွတ္ ၂ တုိ႔တြင္ ပရုိဂ်က္တာ ျဖင့္ ျပသခ့ဲျခင္းျဖစ္သည္။
ေမလ ၁၆ ရက္ေန ့မွ စတင္ က်င္းပခဲ ့ေသာ ျမန္မာေနရွင္နယ္လိ ပဲြစဥ္မ်ားကုိ ျမန္မာ့ေဘာလုံး ဝါသနာရွင္မ်ားက ဝမ္းသာအားရ ၾကည့္ရႈအားေပးၾကသည္။ ျမန္မာ့ေဘာလုံးေလာက တေခတ္ဆန္းလာၿပီဟု ႀကိဳဆုိၾကသက့ဲသုိ႔ အာဏာပုိင္တုိ႔၏ ေဘာလုံးေျခလွမ္းကုိ သံသယ ဝင္ၾကသူမ်ားလည္း ရိွသည္။
အာဏာပုိင္တုိ႔က ၂ဝ၁ဝ ေရြးေကာက္ပဲြအတြက္ မဲဆြယ္လုိေသာေၾကာင့္ ေၾကးစား ကလပ္အသင္းမ်ား ဖဲြ႔စည္းေစၿပီး ၿပိဳင္ပဲြမ်ား ျပဳလုပ္ေစျခင္းျဖစ္သည္ဟု သုံးသပ္သူမ်ားလည္း ရိွသည္။ ျမန္မာျပည္၏ ႏုိင္ငံေရးအေျခအေနမ်ားကုိ အာရုံမစုိက္ေစရန္ ျပဳလုပ္သည့္ အစီအစဥ္မ်ားတြင္ ေဘာလုံးပဲြမ်ားလည္း ပါဝင္သည္ဟု အခ်ဳိ႕က ယူဆေနၾကသည္။
ယခုႏွစ္မကုန္မီ ျမန္မာေနရွင္နယ္လိ ပဲြစဥ္တခု ထပ္မံ ေပၚေပါက္လာဦးမည္ဟု အမ်ားက ယုံၾကည္ေနၾကသည္။

ကမၻာ့ကုလသမဂၢ အေထြေထြ အတြင္းေရးမႉးခ်ဳပ္ မစၥတာ ဘန္ကီမြန္းသည္ ဇူလိုင္ ၃ ရက္ႏွင့္ ၄ ရက္ေန႔မ်ားတြင္ ျမန္မာျပည္သို႔ သြားေရာက္ခဲ့ၿပီးအျပန္ ဘန္ေကာက္ေလဆိပ္၌ ေခတၱ ရပ္နားစဥ္ ထုိင္း၀န္ႀကီးခ်ဳပ္ အဖိဆစ္ ႏွင့္ ေတြ႕ဆံုသည့္သတင္း၌ ယင္းခရီးစဥ္ႏွင့္ပတ္သက္ၿပီး ထည့္သြင္း ေဖာ္ျပထားျခင္း ျဖစ္သည္။
ထိုင္း အစုိးရ ေျပာခြင့္ရပုဂၢဳိလ္ ပါနိတန္၀ါတန္ယာခြန္က ၀န္ႀကီးခ်ဳပ္ အဖိဆစ္ ေ၀့ခ်ာခ်ီ၀သည္ ယခုလ ကုန္ပုိင္း တြင္ ျမန္မာႏုိင္ငံသုိ႔ သြားေရာက္မည္ ျဖစ္ၿပီး ဤ ခရီးစဥ္သည္ ၎၏ ပထမဆုံး ျမန္မာျပည္ ခရီးစဥ္ ျဖစ္ေၾကာင္း သတင္းစာတြင္ ေရးသားထားသည္။
ရန္ကုန္ၿမိဳ႕ အင္းစိန္ အက်ဥ္းေထာင္တြင္း အထူးတရား႐ံုးတြင္ အမႈရင္ဆိုင္ေနရေသာ ေဒၚေအာင္ဆန္းစုၾကည္ အပါအ၀င္ ႏိုင္ငံေရး အက်ဥ္းသားမ်ား လြတ္ေျမာက္ေရးအတြက္ ထုိင္းႏိုင္ငံ ၀န္ႀကီးခ်ဳပ္ အဖိဆစ္ ေ၀့ခ်ာခ်ီ၀က ထပ္မံေတာင္းဆို လိုက္သည္ဟု ပါနိတန္၀ါတန္ယာခြန္က ဆိုသည္။
ထုိင္းအစုိးရက ျမန္မာစစ္အစုိးရကုိ အမ်ဳိးသား ျပန္လည္သင့္ျမတ္ေရး အတြက္ ေဒၚေအာင္ဆန္းစုၾကည္ ႏွင့္ ႏုိင္ငံ ေရးအက်ဥ္းသားမ်ားအား လႊတ္ေပးေစလုိသည္ဟု ၀န္ႀကီးခ်ဳပ္က ေျပာဆုိခ့ဲေၾကာင္း ေရးသားထားသည္။
ကမၻာ့ ကုလသမဂၢ၏ ျမန္မာ့အေရး ၾကား၀င္ေဆာင္ရြက္ေပးေနမႈကုိလည္း ထုိင္းႏုိင္ငံအေနျဖင့္ ေထာက္ခံသည္ဟု သိရသည္။
လြန္ခဲ့သည့္ ေမလ ၁၈ ရက္ေန႔က လက္ရွိ တရားရင္ဆိုင္ေနရေသာ ေဒၚေအာင္ဆန္းစုၾကည္ကို အျမန္ဆုံးလႊတ္ ေပးရန္ အာဆီယံအဖြဲ႔ အလွည့္က် ဥကၠဌ တာ၀န္ယူထားသည့္ ထုိင္းႏိုင္ငံက ၀န္ႀကီးခ်ဳပ္ႏွင့္ ႏုိင္ငံျခားေရး ၀န္ႀကီး တို႔က ျမန္မာ စစ္အစိုးရအား ျပစ္တင္ေ၀ဖန္ခဲ့သည့္အတြက္ ႏွစ္ႏွိင္ငံ တင္းမာမႈမ်ား ရွိခဲ့သည္။

Dear All,
Former UN Secretary-General U Thant's grandson, historian, former UN
Senior Officer (political department) and author of "River of the Lost Footsteps" and
"The Making of Modern Burma" Dr. Thant Myint-U was interviewed by Asia Times
Online about his views on the Myanmar issue including Ban's recent visit.
Please use this url : http://atimes.com/atimes/Southeast_Asia/KG04Ae01.html.
On sanctions:
Just over the past few years I think many more Western policymakers have
come to the conclusion that sanctions-based approaches just won't work
with a regime like Burma's. There has been a willingness to go back to
the drawing board and think about fresh approaches. Sanctions are at
best ineffective because they are not universal. The government is more
than able to survive on just trade and investment from within the
region. In the worst case, though sanctions are extremely
counter-productive, in that they've held back two forces - American
soft power and global capitalism - that could have actually started to
change things.
I fear the democracy movement has very little hope for
success if it's going to fight on the current landscape, that was
created and cultivated by the army over decades of fighting.
For me,the most important thing is to change the landscape first. The
involvement of the West through aid, investment and tourism could be a
huge part of changing this landscape. If over the past 20 years, if we
hadn't had all these sanctions and boycotts, and and instead had
focused on ending the armed conflicts, reforming the economy, and
reconnecting Burma to the world, including through global capitalism, I
think the pro-democracy movement would be in a much stronger position
today.
On UNSG Ban Ki-moon's visit:
It's incredibly hard for an international figure like Ban to simply go in
and sort things out. In North Korea for example everyone accepts the
focus is on nuclear proliferation; but - here it's much more
complicated, there are so many different issues, and international
opinion just on the nature of the problem is completely divided.
There are opportunities for Ban Ki-Moon but his success on this trip will
depend on his willingness to look at the big picture. He has to deal
with some of the immediate political challenges, but if he simply
repeats the mantra of the past many years and sees himself primarily as
a broker between the government and Aung San Suu Kyi, I'm not sure he
can get very far. I don't think he brings any leverage.
............ ......... ......... ......... ....
while other human rights violators like China is not imposed sanctions (explicitly they (West)
are afraid and can't afford to lose their interests), Myanmar has been facing severe sanctions
and international isolation for decades (ordinary people do not seem to understand this factor).
Simply they (the West) don't have any interest. All they have done is just moral concern..
The 'Lady' has been talking talking talking and is talking..... .
Moral concern is very dangerous in international relations.
Many people see the Roadmap as an opportunity and plan to contest in upcoming elections.
Perhaps there is no hope from the West as the history has already told us.
In fact, politics is to do with what you have, seize any opportunity comes, use in effective way.
True politicians. It is not too late for Burma to change.

On sanctions:
Just over the past few years I think many more Western policymakers have
come to the conclusion that sanctions-based approaches just won't work
with a regime like Burma's. There has been a willingness to go back to
the drawing board and think about fresh approaches. Sanctions are at
best ineffective because they are not universal. The government is more
than able to survive on just trade and investment from within the
region. In the worst case, though sanctions are extremely
counter-productive, in that they've held back two forces - American
soft power and global capitalism - that could have actually started to
change things.
I fear the democracy movement has very little hope for
success if it's going to fight on the current landscape, that was
created and cultivated by the army over decades of fighting.
For me,the most important thing is to change the landscape first. The
involvement of the West through aid, investment and tourism could be a
huge part of changing this landscape. If over the past 20 years, if we
hadn't had all these sanctions and boycotts, and and instead had
focused on ending the armed conflicts, reforming the economy, and
reconnecting Burma to the world, including through global capitalism, I
think the pro-democracy movement would be in a much stronger position
today.
On UNSG Ban Ki-moon's visit:
It's incredibly hard for an international figure like Ban to simply go in
and sort things out. In North Korea for example everyone accepts the
focus is on nuclear proliferation; but - here it's much more
complicated, there are so many different issues, and international
opinion just on the nature of the problem is completely divided.
There are opportunities for Ban Ki-Moon but his success on this trip will
depend on his willingness to look at the big picture. He has to deal
with some of the immediate political challenges, but if he simply
repeats the mantra of the past many years and sees himself primarily as
a broker between the government and Aung San Suu Kyi, I'm not sure he
can get very far. I don't think he brings any leverage.
............ ......... ......... ......... ....
while other human rights violators like China is not imposed sanctions (explicitly they (West)
are afraid and can't afford to lose their interests), Myanmar has been facing severe sanctions
and international isolation for decades (ordinary people do not seem to understand this factor).
Simply they (the West) don't have any interest. All they have done is just moral concern..
The 'Lady' has been talking talking talking and is talking..... .
Moral concern is very dangerous in international relations.
Many people see the Roadmap as an opportunity and plan to contest in upcoming elections.
Perhaps there is no hope from the West as the history has already told us.
In fact, politics is to do with what you have, seize any opportunity comes, use in effective way.
True politicians. It is not too late for Burma to change.
best,
