"...Scrapping the 2008 constitution and drafting a new one based on some kind of federal concept is likely the only viable way ahead to resolving Myanmar?s unresolved ethnic issue. Judging from the government?s response to ethnic demands, that isn?t likely to happen any time soon. Whatever the outcome of the present mass movement and the likelihood of some token NLD representation in parliament after the April 1 by-elections, Myanmar?s ethnic quagmire will endure and the government?s half-hearted calls for national reconciliation will remain unfulfilled."
