This, more than anything, distinguishes it from other recent upheavals such as the "people power" revolutions of the Arab spring, the fall of communism in Europe and the toppling of Indonesia's President Suharto. At crucial moments the threat of mass protests hurried the process along. Government advisers concede that in 2011 they were afraid of an Arab spring on the streets of Yangon. The army had mercilessly oppressed protests such as the aborted "saffron revolution" in 2007, led by monks, and the pro-democracy uprising in 1988 that had first propelled Miss Suu Kyi to national prominence. Those 1988 protests led to elections in 1990 which were won by the NLD but annulled by the government. For the main part, though, Myanmar now stands as a rare example of an authoritarian regime changing itself from within. The economic, domestic and strategic explanations for Myanmar's transition all suggest that it can become a normal democratic country, but much will depend on the army.
