#1 The problem here is what will become of the Karen, Kachin, Padaung, and Shan minorities. The Burmans when aroused are a vicious ethnicity. Burma, in many ways is like the Sudan. A ruling elite, generally military, at the core, and facing off against ethinic minorities on the periphery. Now faced with a problem among the Muslim minority of the west, what is needed is a diplomacy, a leader, who can bring the fissiparous elements together in what could be a very fine and profitable multi-ethnic Burma. |
