Myanmar I May 2017
MYANMAR
YANGON, Myanmar - The League for De-
mocracy celebrated its first year in pow-
er recently, and the record of Daw Aung
San Suu Kyi’s young government, which
has succeeded decades of military rule,
already is disappointing some ethnic
groups and outside observers, notably
when it comes to human rights.
But these shortcomings also reflect the
total staggering challenges of pursuing
the country’s transition to democracy,
and some of the unexpected side effects.
