Aung San Suu Kyi

"Had the coup not occurred I have no doubt that Myanmar would have made real progress in catching up to its peers and neighbors."

The National Unity Government must be honest with the public about what the recent arrest warrant application does – and does not – entail.

The region's Nobel laureates have all been non-state actors whose advocacy has aligned with the narratives of Western powers.

How the "best laid plans" of Aung San Suu Kyi's civilian government went awry.

"The difference to the past," says economist Sean Turnell, "is that this junta does not seem to even pretend anymore that it has any sort of vision for Myanmar."

The move is part of a strategy aimed at normalizing the junta's relations with the outside world - or at least with ASEAN.

That the generals felt the need to offer pardons – albeit largely empty ones – of top NLD leaders suggests that the junta is feeling the heat from international isolation.
