On April 1st the NLD won 43 of the 44 by-election seats it contested, with possibly over 90% of the votes in some constituencies. Its supporters are euphoric. Yet Myanmar's path to democracy is more perilous than it seems. The country's transformation rests on two people, Suu Kyi and the president, Thein Sein. A lot depends on the "civilian" government, which succeeded the junta after rigged elections in 2010. It is dominated by former soldiers, including the president, and many of them take a harder line than Thein Sein appears to do. Hundreds of political prisoners remain locked up. The by-elections involved less than one-tenth of the seats in parliament. There was a time when Myanmar was a simple struggle between democrats and autocrats. As the country has reformed, so the situation has become more complex. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
