The president vowed to bring peace and stability to the Burmese people and all the ethnic groups in his first interview with foreign media. Is the real power in his hands or in the hands of the army? The extent of the president’s power has been questioned. If the military are ruling behind the president, the real reform is not going to happen. Without a real change to the constitution, those recent reforms can be reversed at any time. The opposition party, NLD will be allowed to be in Parliament by elections in April, if elections are fair. Out of 664 seats in Parliament, 48 are vacant. If elections are fair, the NLD can be expected to win all of them. Elections in April this year are aimed at convincing the world that Burma is moving towards democracy or whether who is still pulling the strings behind the scenes.
