As Myanmar (or Burma) gradually opens up to Western nations after a half-century of isolation, observers are wondering how far the Burmese government will actually go into enacting democratic reforms. 

Having elected a (nominally) civilian government last year, the new president of Burma, Thein Sein, has promised a series of liberalizing measures, including the legalization of trade unions, the release of (some) political prisoners, as well as “fair and free” elections. He has even opened up talks with pro-democracy activist and opposition figure, Aung San Suu Kyi. 

However, given the still-heavy presence of military figures in the “civilian” government, there are doubts that Burma will reform at all. 

In addition, Burma has one of the worst human rights records of any nation on earth. The military-led abuse and mistreatment of its ethnic minorities remains a sordid, black mark on the country’s psyche. 

Among the victims of this state-sanctioned oppression are the Rohingya people, an ethnic Muslim group that has long suffered in Buddhist-dominated Burma. 

About 2-million Ronhingya live in the northwestern parts of Burma, near the Bangladesh border. 

Hundreds of thousands of Burmese Ronhingya are currently living in neighboring Bangladesh, where they are unwanted refugees. But lacking Burmese citizenship, they are essentially stateless and existing in a kind of limbo. 

Late last month, Agence France Presse (AFP) reported that the Burmese government agreed to take back some refugees from Bangladesh – excluding Rohingya. 

According to the United Nations, the Rohingya who live in Burma don’t have it much better – they are forbidden from owning property, marrying or even travelling without state permission. Many are subject to forced slave labor and extortion by authorities. 

Mizzima, the India-based Burmese news agency reported a few years ago that Rohingya women in Burma are frequently subject to sexual abuse and rape by Burmese soldiers. Reportedly, Burma’s military continues to commit atrocities against the civilian Rohingya population. 

As such, desperate Rohingya pour across the borders into Bangladesh every year – although they are Muslims like the overwhelming majority of Bangladeshis, the Rohingya are despised and rejected there as well. Bangladesh, already impoverished and overpopulated, simply cannot cope with the influx. 

Mojibar Rahman, a Rohingya refugee living in a United Nations camps in Bangladesh, told AFP: "We thought that after the election [of a civilian government in Burma], the situation would improve for Rohingya in Myanmar, but it hasn't… no one wants to go back.” 

Indeed, Rohingyas are trapped in a hopeless Catch-22… unwanted in Bangladesh, rejected by Burma since they lack Burmese citizenship.
Some Rohingya refugees have made it as far as Malaysia I the east or the Arab countries towards the west. Many are also in Thailand. But wherever they are, Rohinya remain vulnerable. 

Refugees International has reported that “in both Bangladesh and Malaysia, repressive government policies and lack of adequate international support force the Rohingya to struggle for survival in both countries. The inability of the Rohingya to access basic services in both Bangladesh and Malaysia is further compounding their vulnerability.” 

An elder Rohingya refugee living in a camp in Kutupalong, Bangladesh, told BBC: "We have nothing in Burma. We are disabled people, like slaves. We cannot work because our hands and feet are cut off. If we don't permission to travel we are sent to jail. We are really like slaves there.” 

A younger Rohingya at the same camp lamented: "If I stay in Bangladesh, what will I do? Even if I build a house here people will treat me as Burmese... this is a hated word. I have a ray of hope in my heart that one day there will be peace in Burma and my people will get back all their lives." 

Panchali Saikia, a research officer at the Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies in India, recently wrote of the Ronhingya: “After providing shelter to the Rohingyas for nearly three decades, Bangladesh is now concerned about the annual increase in their numbers. Apart from being an economic burden, the Rohingyas’ involvement in insurgent activities along the Myanmar-Bangladesh border is feared by the government. Hence to reduce the influx, the government has declared that it will no more consider any asylum seeker as refugee.” 

She further stated: “Anti-Rohingya communities in Bangladesh have also pressurized the government to repatriate the Rohingyas. Due to the denial of protection, assistance, and fear of repatriation, the Rohingyas are now escaping to Malaysia through the sea route. Malaysia is seen as the best destination because of the religion factor. Also, the Malaysian government’s permit to access the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) has attracted asylum seekers.” 

Saikia added: “The plight of the Rohingyas and the growing concern over their influx is not only confined to Myanmar, Bangladesh and Thailand. Other regional powers like India, Indonesia and Malaysia must also engage themselves considering its security implications. The forcible push-backs are a major threat to the maritime as well as border security of these countries. Left with no other option, the Rohingyas are vulnerable to being recruited by sea pirates and involved in arms and drug smuggling.” 

Now, as Burma appears to be opening up to western nations, it will be interesting to see how its human rights abuses – and the plight of the Rohingya – will be assessed and handled.

Rangoon (Mizzima) – British Foreign Secretary William Hague says his government will watch the mood on the streets in Burma before considering removing sanctions on the Burmese government. 



British Foreign Secretary William Hague answers questions from the media at the British Council in Rangoon on Friday, January 6, 2012. Photo: MizzimaHague was speaking at a press conference in Rangoon at the end of a two-day trip to Naypyitaw to gauge the changes taking place in Burma and encourage the move to meaningful democracy. Speaking to a packed crowd of local and foreign journalists at the British Council in Rangoon, the foreign secretary said he could see positive changes taking place in Burma but was worried about the word on the street that indicated not much had changed on the ground level.

Press conference at Daw Aung San Suu Kyi Residence

The British government would watch what is happening and would reconsider the issue of sanctions in the next few months. 

Hague said he was in line with the position of countries in the European Union who want more proof of democratic changes and the release of all political prisoners.

“First, many hundreds of men and women still remain in jail here for their beliefs. This has no place in any democracy, and it has no place in the future of this country,” he said at his final press conference. “There is an urgent need for the U.N. to be allowed to deliver humanitarian assistance independently and with access to all areas, for an end to offensive operations in Kachin State, and for meaningful political dialogue with ethnic armed groups.”


Hague said he also raised concerns about the Rohingya community that lacks basic civil and human rights. The British government would send humanitarian assistance to the displaced people in Kachin State, Hague said.


Hague's visit is the first time in over half a century that a British foreign minister has visited Burma, a country it once ruled. 

In response to a question on direct British investment in Burma, he said this would depend on the political situation.

During his two-days of non-stop meetings, Hague met with Foreign Minister Wunna Maung Lwin on Thursday followed by a meeting with President Thein Sein in Naypyidaw, the sprawling new capital city.

After the meetings, he told reporters that Britain wanted to see progress on the release of political prisoners, fair by-elections, resolution of conflicts with armed ethnic groups and humanitarian access to the war zones. 

Hague said the foreign minister assured him the recent changes are irreversible. “I stressed that the world will judge the government by its actions,” he said.

However, the BBC later reported that in an interview Foreign Minister Wunna Maung Lwi said Burma did not acknowledge there were political prisoners.

"Prisoners are the ones who violated the law", he said, and it was up to the president to decide when prisoners were released. Burmese officials refuse to use the words “political prisoners.” 

The Financial Times quoted Hague saying, “I have assured him that if they do [release political prisoners], there will be a strongly positive response from the UK and, I believe, the rest of the European Union.”

The EU’s annual review of Burma policy comes in early April. Some European diplomats have suggested that if reforms continue and the elections are deemed fair, the EU could lift sanctions this year.

In a press conference on Friday, Hague said, “We must not relax our pressure. That is something we will guard against.”

The big tests, say diplomats, is whether the upcoming elections will be fair and whether all political prisoners will be released. 

Estimates vary on the exact number of political detainees in Burmese jails, ranging from around 600 to up to 1,500. Getting accurate numbers is impossible due to the government’s failure to acknowledge it has political prisoners, and a lack of information and transparency. Burma is notorious for protecting information held by various ministries, and for not allowing reporters access to information. Only recently have government ministers consented to talk to non-government affiliated reporters.

On Thursday evening, Hague travelled to Rangoon for talks with leaders of the country's ethnic minorities and with Aung San Suu Kyi, with whom he had a private dinner, according to reports.

Hague's visit follows Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, in December and Suu Kyi's recent decision to run for a seat in Parliament in the April 1 parliamentary by-election.

Assessing the stance of the British government, Mark Farmaner of Burma Campaign UK, said: “The British government knows that there has not been significant deep reform in Burma, and that the pace of changes that were taking place has slowed. By visiting Burma, William Hague is demonstrating that the UK is willing to engage and lift sanctions, but only if there are genuine political reforms, and an end to human rights abuses.” 

On the sincerity of the new civilian government, he said, “The fact that most political prisoners remain in jail and that attacks against ethnic civilians continue are reasons to doubt the commitment of the military-backed government to genuine reforms. 

“The British government has prioritized human rights over business interests and deserves credit for that. We have urged William Hague to push for the release of all political prisoners, and to make the point that while cease-fires talks are welcome, they need to go beyond cease-fires and start talking about a political solution to ethnic issues. The British government must veto moves by other EU members to relax economic sanctions before genuine reforms take place,” he said.

While many are optimistic that Burma’s road to the future will reach true democracy, others who have long experience in the country aren’t quite so sure. A founder of the National League for Democracy, Win Tin, holds fast to his experience of Burma over the past 50 years.

Win Tin told The Guardian newspaper: “Hague should keep in mind that, yes, we have found a light in the tunnel here in Burma. But we are still in the tunnel. Maybe we can reach the light, maybe we can make it brighter, and maybe we can even leave the tunnel. But we don't know yet. And meanwhile, we are still in the dark.”

BROUK welcomes and strongly supports UK Foreign Secretary William Hague’s historic visit to Burma on Thursday. The visit has demonstrated the UK Government’s serious  commitment to helping the people of Burma to achieve their democratic aspirations.

Last Monday U Thein Sein government’s sham Amnesty made great disappointment  to the people of Burma in which only 32 out of more than 1,500 jailed activists were released. If the regime is sincere in taking steps for democratic reform then it must release all the political prisoners who were unlawfully imprisoned.

Burmese military offensives against Kachin and other ethnic peoples have continued; no significant changes towards national reconciliation have been done. In addition, ‘systematic racism’ against Rohingya has been institutionalized; and religious persecution against non-Buddhist people, especially Muslims and Christians, has increased. 


The credibility of U Thein Sein regime’s promise of reform is now seriously questioned. However, we are in high spirit to see that the Foreign Secretary has cautiously welcomed the promises of political reform in Burma saying ‘the military junta will be judged by its actions rather than its words’.

Meanwhile, we at BROUK and Rohingya people would like to express our gratitude to the British Foreign Secretary for his meeting with ethnic representative groups, including Rohingyas, during his visit to Burma. We are very delighted to see his encouragement to U Thein Sein regime to bring genuine change, long-lasting peace, freedom and protection of human rights for all the people of Burma.

“The Rohingya political party leaders from the 1990 general election and the 2010 general election who attended the meeting are; - Master Yunus from National Democratic Party for Human Rights(NDPHR) and Abu Taher from National Democratic party for Development (NDPD).”

“Abu Taher highlighted the situation on Rohingya people of Arakan who are facing recently on – force labors, extortion, health, education, movement restriction, marriage restriction, religious persecution, unprecedented taxation, arbitrarily arrest and land confiscation- with recent report and appeal letter of NDPD to Burmese government which mention to find a solution about Rohingya issue of Arakan,” according to a Rohingya elite from Rangoon. 

Abu Taher is Central Executive member, Head of Political Bureau and Research and development. He won from People’s Parliament, Buthidaung Township in 2010 election. But, Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) forcedly denounced his victor, according to NDPD press released and case file against Shwe Maung of USDP.

NDPD complained to Township Election Commission, the votes were recounted by the Commission where Abu Taher (NDPD) got 56,882 votes and Shwe Maung (USDP) got 53,702 votes, according to election watch in Buthidaung report.

Master Yunus is CEC of NDPHR – 4 seats winner of 1990 general election from Maungdaw and Buthidaung - mentioned about Rohingya citizenship rights – the historical facts - in Burma which still the Burmese government not clearly mention on it. 

British Foreign Secretary William Hague arrived in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday on an official visit to Burma to observe the latest development of the country, according to official sources. “It is the first visit by a British foreign secretary to Myanmar since 1955.”

British Foreign Minister with Rohingya and other ethnic representatives 

“The visiting Burma was my first destination for 2012, to meet the President, senior ministers and ethnic minority leaders,” according to British Foreign Secretary William Hague’s statement in his face book.

"I am visiting the country to encourage the Burmese government to continue on its path of reform, and to gauge what more Britain can do to support this process,” according to British Foreign & Commonwealth website.

"Further steps are needed that will have a lasting impact on human rights and political freedom in Burma. In particular, we hope to see the release of all remaining political prisoners, free and fair by-elections, and humanitarian access to people in conflict areas, and credible steps towards national reconciliation." 

The Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK (BROUK) and Rohingya people would like to express our gratitude tothe British Foreign Secretary for his meeting with ethnic representative groups, including Rohingyas, during his visit to Burma. We are very delighted to see his encouragement to U Thein Sein regime to bring genuine change, long-lasting peace, freedom and protection of human rights for all the people of Burma, according to Maung Tun Khin, the president, the Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK (BROUK).

The ‘systematic racism’ against Rohingya has been institutionalized; and religious persecution against non-Buddhist people, especially Muslims and Christians, has increased. The credibility of U Thein Sein regime’s promise of reform is now seriously questioned. However, we are in high spirit to see that the Foreign Secretary has cautiously welcomed the promises of political reform in Burma saying ‘the military junta will be judged by its actions rather than its words’, the BROUK statement said.

The UK will continue to reward further signs of political reform in Burma with closer ties, William Hague has said at the start of the first visit to the country by a British foreign secretary in more than half a century.

A day after Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese opposition pro-democracy leader, made an impassioned appeal to her followers "to continue the march on the road to freedom", Hague met Burma's foreign minister, Wunna Maung Lwin, in Naypyidaw, the new capital city constructed six years ago by the then-ruing military junta.

After the meeting Hague told reporters he had told the minister, part of a still military-dominated civilian regime which took power almost a year ago, that the UK wished to see definite progress on the release of political prisoners, fair byelections to the country's parliament – Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy has said it will take part in these after boycotting a general election in November 2010 – as well the resolution of conflict with armed ethnic groups and humanitarian access to conflict areas.

"I have assured him that if they do, there will be a strongly positive response from the UK and, I believe, the rest of the European Union," Hague said.

"The foreign minister has reaffirmed commitments that have been made to release political prisoners. He said the changes are irreversible and I welcome that way of thinking. I stressed that the world will judge the government by its actions."

Later on Thursday Hague was due to meet Thein Sein, the former general who was appointed president last year. He will then travel to Rangoon for talks with leaders of the country's ethnic minorities.

He will have two meetings there with Aung San Suu Kyi: a private dinner on Thursday and more substantive discussions on Friday, followed by an encounter with another famous former political prisoner, an actor and director known as Zarganar, who was among 250 political prisoners freed in October as part of the government's political reforms.

During Wednesday's celebrations of Burma's independence day at her party's headquarters, Aung San Suu Kyi told members of her NLD that "all Burmese people deserve freedom".

"We have to struggle for more freedom. What we do is anchored by our belief in freedom. Sometimes we face many difficulties. Now we cannot say we are free so we must work for more freedom," she said.

Burma is undergoing rapid political changes as a new nominally civilian government pursues what a key aide to Thein Sein told the Guardian was "a mission of democratisation". However, many analysts and campaigners are sceptical about the depth of recent reforms and the willingness of the military, which has ruled the country since 1962, to relinquish power.

Hague's visit follows that of Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, last month and Aung San Suu Kyi's recent decision, following reforms, to stand in April's parliamentary byelections and seek entry to the new national assembly, even though it is dominated by the army.

Min Yaing, a founder of the youth protest movement Generation Wave, said he welcomed the succession of foreign diplomats visiting Burma, which is also known as Myanmar, because they would counter Chinese influence in the country.

With American and European Union sanctions in place, Beijing has been able to build a major presence in Burma in recent years.

"This is good for our movement. Before, the government was just looking to China all the time. Now they are not just listening to one voice," Min Yaing, 31, said.

Thi Ha Saw, editor of a newspaper in Rangoon, added that Hague's visit would "help reformers within the regime" as it would be seen as "evidence of recognition by western powers".

There was a danger of a backlash against the reforms, he warned. "The president is a moderate but there are hardliners who could take over. There is pressure to move fast and get as much change done as possible so a point of no return is reached," Thi Ha Saw told The Guardian.

Nay Zin Latt, the president's political adviser, acknowledged resistance within the regime to recent changes. Beyond the gradual acceptance of the NLD as a legitimate opposition party, there have been new labour laws and a reduction in media censorship as well as reduced surveillance of democratic activists.

"There is always resistance to change. But it is a question of the speed of that change and differing points of view. No one within the government is opposing change entirely. Some want it to go faster than others," Nay Zin Latt said.

Sceptics point out that somewhere between 600 and 2,000 political prisoners remain in jail and that military operations are still continuing against Burmese ethnic minorities. There was widespread disappointment at the limited extent of an amnesty announced on Tuesday which saw sentences cut but resulted in the actual release of only between 10 and 30 political prisoners.

None of the most important dissidents or ethnic minority leaders currently held in extremely harsh conditions on often arbitrary or trivial charges were released. The limited scope of the amnesty, the fourth in a series that has seen more than 200 prisoners freed, has put Aung Sun Suu Kyi in a difficult position, with many campaigners unhappy at continued dialogue with the authorities while fellow activists remain in jail.

"This is just playing a political game. If they were serious they would release everybody," said Than Naing Oo, who was released from Insein jail near Rangoon on Tuesday. He was serving a three-year sentence for distributing pro-democracy leaflets.

Hla Soe, a politician from the Arakhai minority, said that he distrusted the government and the "deal" they had done with Aung San Suu Kyi. "The government is still ignoring ethnic rights. That is what I want to tell Mr Hague and the international community," he said.

However, on one central street in Rangoon on Wednesday night, crowds witnessed a daring bid to force the speed of change as images of police repression during unrest in 2007 were projected on a big screen as part of a film festival. Inside a nearby conference hall thousands had gathered to watch a series of politically charged films that provoked gasps and applause from an audience unused to such open defiance of Burma's strict censors. A banner read: "Free Art, free thought, freedom."

The event was organised by Zarganar, who is due to meet with Hague. "This is free expression. This is a step in the right direction. And we are not afraid. We are never afraid," he declared.

Min Thai Ke, winner of best short film for his depiction of the plight of the poor and political prisoners, said Burma was living "through a very fragile time" but that he too was not afraid.

Aung San Suu KyiA senior aide to the Burmese president has welcomed the prospect of the party of Aung San Suu Kyi, the democracy campaigner and Nobel prize winner, taking power in the country.

"They can be the ruling party one day," Nay Zin Latt, the personal political adviser of president Thein Sein, told the Guardian.

His comments constitute one of the most outspoken declarations of support for change in the secretive and repressive state so far.

William Hague, the British foreign secretary, flew into Burma on Thursday for a two-day visit aimed at "encouraging reforms".

He is the first British official of such rank to travel to the country for more than 50 years. But many observers both inside Burma and outside doubt the authorities' commitment to what Latt described as "a mission of democratisation."

Between 600 and 2,000 political prisoners remain in jail, the army continues operations against ethnic groups in the north-east of the country and censorship, though somewhat eased, remains heavy. Political life and the economy is dominated directly and indirectly by the ruling regime.

Nonetheless, it now appears likely that Aung San Suu Kyi will lead her party, the National League for Democracy, in by-elections in April. The move is controversial and some campaigners within Burma have opposed it.

The NLD boycotted elections held in November 2010 - the first for 20 years - as its leader remained under house arrest. She was released shortly after the poll.

Aung San Suu Kyi, 66, told the BBC she now believed Burma would hold democratic elections in her lifetime.

She qualified her statement however by saying that she did not know if she would live "a normal lifespan". Aung San Suu Kyi was scheduled to have a private dinner with Hague on Thursday evening. The foreign secretary was also due to meet representatives of Burma's ethnic minorities. Officials said that particular attention would be paid to the plight of refugees fleeing fighting between the Burmese army, which has been repeatedly accused of systematic human rights abuses, and forces from the Kachin minority in the north-east of the country.

Hague has said the visit was aimed at encouraging Burma "on its path of reform towards democracy".

Aung San Suu Kyi said that President Thein Sein, appointed by the elderly military dictator Than Shwe in March 2010 to lead a nominally civilian government and a transition to democracy, was "an honest man... [He is] a man capable of taking risks if he thinks they are worth taking."

The key issue of political prisoners remains unresolved, however. Hague was reported on Wednesday saying he had been assured by his Burmese counterpart that they would be freed. However in an interview with the BBC, Burmese service Wunna Maung Lwi later said there were only "criminals" in Burmese jails.

There was widespread disappointment at the limited scale of an amnesty to mark the anniversary of Burmese independence from British rule earlier this week. Only 10 political prisoners were freed, all serving short sentences.

"We cannot say there is any change. We can just glimpse some kind of road ahead but we are still at the starting point. As long as there are still political prisoners, abuses, civil war and land grabs you cannot talk of change," said Kokoji, an activist and former prisoner.

Latt, the presidential aide, said change in Burma was "genuine and authentic" but "obviously reversible".

"The west want us to be a democratic country. Politically they will get a benefit from this because we will be part of the democratic world and the west wants to contain China," Latt said.

He promised political prisoners would eventually be freed "in the future" but that any release would be gradual.

William Hague is the first British Foreign Secretary to visit Burma for more than 50 years


William Hague is to become the first British Foreign Secretary to visit Burma for more than 50 years in a move intended to bolster the country's budding reform process.

New president Thein Sein last year unexpectedly embarked on a series of liberalising measures, including opening talks with opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, releasing more than 200 political prisoners and legalising trade unions.

Speaking ahead of his arrival in the capital Naypyitaw, Mr Hague welcomed the "encouraging" steps taken by the government and urged it to continue on the path of reform after years of hardline military rule.

Critics however cautioned that significant numbers of political prisoners remain behind bars, despite government promises to free them, while reports of abuses against ethnic minorities continue.

Mr Hague is expected to use his meetings with Thein Sein and other senior figures to press for the release of the remaining political prisoners - variously estimated to number between 590 and 1,700 - and for free and fair elections.

Aung Sang Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy has now re-registered as a political party and will contest a series of 48 parliamentary by-elections due to take place on April 1, in what is being seen as an important test of the reform process.

Britain is also pushing for a process of national reconciliation to end the fighting between the government and the country's ethnic minorities, such as the Kachins, and to bring them into the mainstream political process.

"I am visiting the country to encourage the Burmese government to continue on its path of reform, and to gauge what more Britain can do to support this process," Mr Hague said.

"Further steps are needed that will have a lasting impact on human rights and political freedom in Burma.

"In particular, we hope to see the release of all remaining political prisoners, free and fair by-elections, humanitarian access to people in conflict areas, and credible steps towards national reconciliation."

Diplomats and advocacy groups reaching out to the international community through the media.


State College, Pennsylvania, USA. 

Ambassador Prof. Dr. Akbar Ahmed calls on U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton “Madam Secretary, Please Don’t Forget the Rohingya”. The resounding calls are coming from dignitaries, diplomats, legislators, government officials, human right advocates, and many other dignified individuals in Washington, New York, and many other cities in the world, in various forms. Despite the inaccessibility of the Northern Arakan State by the international media or monitors, the bits and pieces of reports coming out of Northern Arakan is so alarming that the international community could not remain silent. Regardless of the mission and station of the international organizations, they have one unified voice on Rohingya – human right violations in historic proportions.

The United Nations (Special Rapporteur on Human Rights), the Irish Center for Human Rights, Human Rights Watch, Physicians for Human Rights, Amnesty International, Refugees International, U.S. Campaign for Burma, Medecin Sans Frontieres, The Arakan Project, Open Society Foundation, National Coalition Government of the Union of Burma (The Human Rights Documentation Unit), and many other organizations have expressed serious concerns over gross human right violations against Rohingya by the Burmese military and Nasaka forces (secret police named as Border Security Force). Some of them have openly demanded the Burmese military to end all the violations and restore the citizenship and all their rights.

Most recently, Ambassador Prof. Dr. Akbar Ahmed of the American University has spoken out about the rapidly deteriorating conditions in Arakan and Rohingya refugee camps. His recent article “Little help for the persecuted Rohingya of Burma” in The Guardian newspaper in London was another reminder about the plights of Rohingya in Burma. Dr. Ahmed quotes BBC on Rohingya "one of the world's most persecuted minority groups" in his article and provided a historical perspective dating back the ethnic lineage of Rohingya in Arakan to many centuries. 

Dr. Ahmed’s article  effectively addressed the root cause of the Rohingya ethnic cleansing dating back to 1962 during the reign of former dictator General Ne Win that began with his policy of "Burmanization", based on the ultra-nationalist ideology of racial "purity”. In discussion with Dr. Wakar Uddin about the human right violations against Rohingya by the Burmese military, such as its refusal to restore citizenship, travel restriction, ban on marriages, land confiscation, denial of education, denial of permission to renovate the places of worship, Dr. Ahmed simply replied “it is humanly unthinkable”. In parallel with several human rights analysts, Dr. Ahmed expressed his views of the Rohingya forced labor in Burma as modern-day slavery, forcing Rohingya to work on infrastructure projects which include constructing "model villages" to house the Burmese settlers that were brought in from mainland Burma intended to displace the Rohingya villagers. Dr. Ahmed also gently reminded the international community the dilemma of 35,000 registered Rohingya refugees and another estimated 250,000 unregistered in Bangladesh, while the gradual flow of refugees heading to Malaysia in rickety boats through the sea continues.

Dr. Ahmed is currently writing a volume dedicated to Rohingya human rights and political issues for the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C.

People stand behind barricades as they wait for family members to be freed from Insein Prison in Yangon, Myanmar, on Tuesday. Myanmar's government announced Monday that it is reducing the sentences of many prisoners, but stopped short of declaring an amnesty for political prisoners that many people had expected.


One of the more surprising moments in U.S. foreign policy last year occurred when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Myanmar, long ruled by a repressive military government and shunned as a pariah nation.

There, she met with high-level officials in the country's empty new capital, Naypyitaw, and toured a glittering pagoda in the old capital Yangon, or Rangoon.

The U.S. has been calling on Myanmar, also known as Burma, to build on the reforms that have taken place in the country since a new president took office in March.

Clinton offered some incentives to keep Myanmar's president, Thein Sein, on track with reforms, and told NPR at the time that she was coordinating closely with the country's most prominent dissident, Aung San Suu Kyi.

"She has expressed her confidence in how we are proceeding. Obviously, we both want to see significant steps taken by the government, starting with the release of all political prisoners, before we are able to do any more," Clinton said. 
Myanmar has set parliamentary by-elections for April 1, scheduling a highly anticipated vote that will return dissident Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy to mainstream politics after two decades. Here, Suu Kyi attends a fundraising event for the party in Yangon, Myanmar, last month.
Myanmar has set parliamentary by-elections for April 1, scheduling a highly anticipated vote that will return dissident Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy to mainstream politics after two decades. Here, Suu Kyi attends a fundraising event for the party in Yangon, Myanmar, last month. 
But an announcement this week by Thein Sein came as a disappointment: He offered to reduce sentences for some political prisoners, but the clemency announcement fell far short of expectations of activists in the country and of the Obama administration.

The order, signed ahead of the country's 64th anniversary this week, commutes death sentences to life sentences, while prisoners serving more than 30 years will have their sentences reduced to 30 years. Those serving 20 to 30 years will have their terms reduced to 20 years, and those with less than 20 years will have their sentences cut by one-fourth.

As a result, most political prisoners will remain in prison. Reports indicate that no more than 10 political prisoners were among those released.

A State Department spokesperson said Tuesday that the U.S. remains concerned about the more than 1,000 political prisoners still being held, and "continues to call for their immediate and unconditional release at every opportunity."

Elections Planned For AprilThis is a bump in the long road ahead for Derek Mitchell, Clinton's special envoy to Myanmar. Mitchell, who works on this issue on a day-to-day basis, travels to Myanmar about once a month, and says he will be packing his bags again soon.

He thinks Clinton's trip a month ago put wind in the sails of a reform process.

"I have to say it is a remarkable pace. You can't get around the fact that this government came in in late March, and there was hope that there would be reform over time. But the pace of reform has come fairly rapidly and has encouraged an atmosphere in Rangoon that is quite optimistic about the future in the new year," Mitchell says.

Myanmar has set elections for April 1, and the announcement that Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy plan to participate in the elections has buoyed the international community's confidence.

Also, the U.S. has agreed to let the U.N. Development Program and the World Bank assess the needs of the country, one of the poorest in Southeast Asia. Obama administration officials still have to work through U.S. laws and sanctions to make that happen, and Mitchell also has to answer many questions in Congress about how quickly the U.S. should be moving.

"Debates are ongoing about Burma policy, but there's no serious resistance to certainly [Clinton's] trip, what came out of [the] trip and the way forward overall," Mitchell says.

Momentum For More Positive Change

The envoy says much will depend on the Myanmar government's next steps and whether Thein Sein delivers on other promises he made to Clinton. The U.S. is pushing not only for more political rights in the country, but is also trying to promote peace efforts in the many long-running ethnic conflicts that have ravaged Myanmar.

"You continue to have reports of aggression, of abuses, of rape as a weapon of war, of torture and of killing of civilians. All that is very, very serious and informs our policy as well," Mitchell says.

One expert on Myanmar, David Steinberg of Georgetown University, says that so far the Obama administration has taken a safe, well-paced approach. Steinberg says there will be a flurry of diplomatic activity this month, including a visit by Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, a major critic of Myanmar's military rulers.

"If [McConnell] comes back and says, 'Well, there are some changes and we ought to adjust our policy,' that would be very good. And if he talks to Aung San Suu Kyi, as I'm sure he must, and she says now is the time for modification, then I think there are some positive things that can happen," Steinberg says.

Steinberg says Suu Kyi once told him that the U.S. sanctions are something she uses as leverage with Myanmar's leaders, but at some point they could be a liability for her. Mitchell, the U.S. envoy, says the U.S. won't change its sanctions policy until it gets a signal from Suu Kyi that the time has come.
WASHINGTON — The United States said Tuesday that Myanmar's decision to cut prison terms for detainees fell short of what Washington expects to reward reforms undertaken by the army-backed regime.

"Even one political prisoner is one political prisoner too many," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said, underscoring points US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made during a landmark visit to Myanmar last month.

"We remain concerned about the more than a thousand political prisoners that remain in custody," Nuland told reporters.

"We will continue to make the case to the government in Naypyidaw that it is a full political prisoner release that the international community wants to see," Nuland said.

"It's not a step of the magnitude that we would be interested in matching," she added.

During her visit at the start of December, Clinton said the United States will not end sanctions against Myanmar until its leaders carry out broader democratic reforms.

Myanmar's political prisoners include former student protesters, monks, journalists and lawyers and their fate is a key concern of the international community.

Under the order, death sentences will be commuted to life imprisonment, jail terms above 30 years will be reduced to 30 years, those between 20 and 30 years will be cut to 20 years and shorter sentences will be cut by a quarter.

Most high-profile dissidents, like those from a failed 1988 student uprising, are serving decades behind bars so would have little hope of freedom as a result of the order, which was made to honor Independence Day on Wednesday.

A government official told AFP that it was still unclear how many inmates would be freed, but about 800 men and 130 women held in Yangon were set to be released.

Nyan Win, spokesman for Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy, said it was not yet clear whether any of the party's imprisoned members would be released as a result of the move.

At the beginning of December Clinton became the top US official in more than 50 years to visit Myanmar as she sought to encourage reforms by the government which has opened talks with the opposition and ethnic minorities.
