Re-posting after one year - Potemkin Politics: Are Burmese reforms real by Kyi May Kaung

http://www.himalmag.com/component/content/article/4842-potemkin-politics.html I am happy to have the last word, though sad that I am right about Burma yet again./ In the end, I get to say "I told you so," but the Burmese people suffer more under the regime, which is still the same old, same old military./ Where is the so-called reform. Nowhere./ K.M. Kaung
