Tint Swe

Myanmar is going through a deep crisis that can only be overcome on the basis of a unifying political project. It must include opposition parties and the country’s various ethnic groups in dialogue with the military junta. This initiative is a response to the dictatorship’s “democracy” plan, described as “unacceptable.”

The ambiguous and conniving policies of India and the West. The extreme poverty of the population and the overwhelming power of the military junta. Tint Swe, a member of the government in exile formed by refugees from Myanmar after the elections of 1990, describes the situation of his country on the eve of the verdict in the trial against Aung San Suu Kyi, with an eye on the elections in 2010.
