Burma--The So-called Transition to Deomcracy
Since 2011 and Mrs. Clinton and President Obama's first visit to Naypyitaw, the "King's Royal City" in the heartland of Burma--the international and Burmese language media has been touting "reforms."
But the recent death by torture of Par Gyi, a reporter covering the war on the eastern border, just before Presdt Obama's second visit, the systematically amped up "interracial conflict" between Muslims and Buddhists, the visit of the racist monk Wirathu to Sri Lanka, and ongoing land grabs from farmers, the picture for democracy in Burma is not encouraging.
I give a blow by blow account of what has been happening since 2011 and provide background on the Burmese junta and its policies.
