I was in a conference of Asian nation’s
transition from military dictatorship to democracy. The conference aimed to be
closed-door discussion between the Burmese government delegations and
academics.
The Burmese government representatives
boldly said there is no human rights abuse in Burma and they blame the ethnic
insurgents for disrupting economic growth.
I wonder why they did not mention about
corruption and mismanagement of the country economy are obstacles of the growth
too.
Ye Htut, the ministry of information,
said the ethnic armed groups should not participate in the politics fold
because it is unacceptable in international standard. However, the 2008
constitution, which drafted by junta, allows the Burmese military general to
take up 25 per cent of seats in parliaments.
Dr. Kyaw Yin Hlaing, said if we are
only pointing out those problem, we can not move on to the next stage. Should
we ignore those evidences to build confident among us? The past is a lesson for
future. So the government should show different to win the ethnics trust.
