The Irrawaddy asked ethnic leaders how they view Aung San Suu Kyi and her leadership in the country?s almost two-decade long pro-democracy movement... ?We ethnic members have studied her from the very beginning. Having listened to her speech at the Shwedagon rally in 1988 and met with her o?n several occasions, we have come to believe that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is a person, and a leader, who will accept reality. ?But we?ve never expected a political leader who is completely flawless. Since the popular uprising in 1988, there have been weaknesses among politicians who have played a leading role in Burma?s politics—including me. As we have weaknesses, we are still failing to achieve a democratic nation. So, should we blame her alone for the failure? We all are responsible for that.?... —Aye Thar Aung, secretary of the Arakan League for Democracy party, based in Rangoon; —Shwe Ohn, a leader of the banned United Nationalities League for Democracy, who attended the 1947 Panglong conference, based in Rangoon; —Cin Siang Thang, chairman of the ethnic Zomi National Congress party, based in Rangoon; —Mahn Sha, secretary of Burma?s oldest and strongest rebel group, the Karen National Union
