Description:
"The new political scenario in Burma has given hope for change. The scenario relates to the current talks between the Junta and
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of the democratic opposition. The scenario is new because the past has witnessed disastrous
confrontation between the two forces. The Junta stated first that they wanted the annihilation of the National League for
Democracy. Now the Junta has condescended to talks. Hope for change has come because an end to the long military rule since
1962 is in sight. The end of the military rule is pregnant with the expectations of the people that there will be a beginning of the
Rule of Law. The transition from authoritarianism to democracy will be ambiguous if it is not founded on interim institutional
changes on issues of Rule of Law..."
