View: Politically Dos and don'ts

BDD

Time is clicking and regime is still pretending that it is in a comfort zone ever. Many Burmese scholars and observers said either sanctions or constructive engagement on regime don't work.

Half way to the democratic reform, Burmese observer said 2010 election is only option for Burma democratization process. However, election might not provide any solution for the real reform or somewhat reform, they even confused themselves.

Complicated situation in the Burma issue, all admitted, but none of so-call observers or activists finds out the solution or existing strategy from political deadlock.



What we should learn from the current situation in the both camps; there have no solid unity in the either regime or democratic front. Both sides claimed they are united but this is opposite of what each camp claimed.

Regime has struggled among the different interest groups led by different generals. Indeed, regime's constitutions provide presidential and chief of staff of arm forces would be the most powerful positions. And the each group wanted to have both and neither would get after 2010 election. Besides, they have to face uncertain of ceasefire groups' future and reality, yet, mid and low level officers' view that they are incapable leaders in the process of transitional period.

Democrats declared more divisive and exposed more critical accusations each others, "sometimes trashing each other is worse than regime propagates" a Burmese observer noted.

Each camp only needs is do not make any major mistake and can survive, otherwise any groups' wrong move send itself to the history.
