How to promote the real reform

Burma had made some progress by releasing some political prisoners, pursuing ceasefire talks with ethnic groups and opening dialogue between President Thein Sein and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. Though we are seeing the political opening , we continue to have concerns over the conflict areas which cause serious human rights abuses. The human rights groups say more needs to be done towards the real reform by releasing all remaining political prisoners. Daw Suu warned that she felt sometimes that "people are too optimistic about the scene in Burma. You have to remember that the democratization process is not irreversible." Excessive optimism over a political opening is not promoting the democracy in Burma.
