NLD မွတ္ပုံတင္ေရး မတင္ေရး ရက္ပုိင္းအတြင္း ေၾကညာဖြယ္ရိွ
ခင္ဦးသာ on October 31, 2011 6:41 pm, ဧရာ၀တီမဂဇင္း။
အမ်ဳိးသားဒီမိုကေရစီအဖြဲ႔ခ်ဳပ္ (NLD) ႏွင့္ မဟာမိတ္ပါတီမ်ားက ႏုိင္ငံေရးပါတီမ်ားအျဖစ္ မွတ္ပုံတင္ေရး၊ မတင္ေရး ႏွင့္ ၾကားျဖတ္ေရြးေကာက္ပြဲ ၀င္ေရး၊ မ၀င္ေရး ကိစၥမ်ားကို ႏို၀င္ဘာလ ၄ ရက္ေန႔တြင္ ေၾကညာသြားဖြယ္ရွိေၾကာင္း သိရသည္။
ယေန႔ ေန႔လယ္ပုိင္းက ရန္ကုန္ျမိဳ႕ ေဗဒါသင္တန္းေက်ာင္းတြင္ ေတြ႔ရေသာ ေဒၚေအာင္ဆန္းစုၾကည္ (ဓာတ္ပုံ - ဧရာ၀တီ)
“CRPP အစည္းအေ၀းမွာ ပါတီမွတ္ပုံေရး ကိစၥေတြ အားလုံး ေဆြးေႏြးသုံးသပ္ၾကမယ္၊ ေၾကညာခ်က္ထုတ္မယ္၊ ဆုံးျဖတ္ခ်က္တခုေပးမယ္၊ CRPP ဆုံးျဖတ္ခ်က္ကို NLD ကလည္းပဲ သေဘာတူၿပီးပါၿပီ၊ NLD စီအီးစီ အစည္းအေ၀းလည္း အဲဒီေန႔မွာ လုပ္မယ္လို႔ ၾကားသိရပါတယ္” ဟု ဦးေအးသာေအာင္က ဧရာ၀တီကုိ ေျပာသည္။
“ျဖစ္ေပၚ တိုးတက္မႈေတြကို အေျခခံၿပီးေတာ့ က်ေနာ္တို႔ အေနနဲ႔ အားလုံးနဲ႔ ပူးေပါင္း ေဆာင္ရြက္သြားဖို႔ရွိပါတယ္၊ ရပ္ေနလို႔ေတာ့ မရဘူးေပါ့” ဟု ဦးေအးသာေအာင္က ဆက္ေျပာသည္။
ႏိုင္ငံေရးပါတီမ်ား မွတ္ပုံတင္ျခင္း ဥပေဒၾကမ္း ထြက္ေပၚၿပီးေနာက္ NLD ပါတီမွတ္ပုံတင္ေရးကိစၥအေပၚ အျမင္ အမ်ဳိးမ်ဳိးထြက္ေပၚေနသည္။ ႏိုင္ငံေရးအက်ဥ္းသားမ်ား အားလုံး လြတ္ေျမာက္လာၿပီး၊ ျပည္တြင္းၿငိမ္းခ်မ္းေရး ေဆာင္ရြက္ၿပီးမွသာ မွတ္ပုံတင္၍ ေရြးေကာက္ပြဲ၀င္သင့္ေၾကာင္း အတိုက္အခံ တခ်ဳိ႕က ယူဆၾကသည္။
ျပည္ပေရာက္ ဒီမိုကေရစီအေရးလွႈပ္ရွားေနသူ မခင္ဥမၼာက NLDသည္ ျပည္သူ တရပ္လုံးအား ကိုယ္စားျပဳထားသည့္ ဒီမိုကေရစီအေရး တိုက္ပြဲ၀င္ေနေသာ ပါတီတခုျဖစ္၍ ေသခ်ာ စဥ္းစား ဆုံးျဖတ္သင့္ေၾကာင္း ေျပာသည္။
၂၀၁၀ ေရြးေကာက္ပြဲကို NLD က သပိတ္ေမွာက္ခဲ့သည့္ အတြက္သာ ေဒၚေအာင္ဆန္းစုၾကည္ႏွင့္ သမၼတ ဦးသိန္းစိန္တို႔ ေတြ႔ဆုံမႈ၊ ၀န္ႀကီး ဦးေအာင္ၾကည္ႏွင့္ ေတြ႔ဆုံမႈတို႔ ျဖစ္ေပၚလာရေၾကာင္း၊ အကယ္၍ ပါတီ မွတ္ပုံတင္ၿပီး ေရြးေကာက္ပြဲ၀င္မည္ ဆိုပါက တျခားပါတီမ်ားကဲ့သို႔ ရပ္တည္ ေဆာင္ရြက္ရေတာ့မည္ ျဖစ္ေၾကာင္း ထိုင္းႏိုင္ငံအေျခစိုက္ မခင္ဥမၼာက သုံးသပ္လုိက္သည္။
“၂၀၁၀ ေရြးေကာက္ပြဲတုန္းကသာ ပါ၀င္ခဲ့ရင္ အခုလိုမ်ဳိး သမၼတက သီးသန္႔ ေတြ႔ဆုံ ေဆြးေႏြးမႈေတြ ျဖစ္လာမွာ မဟုတ္ပါဘူး၊ ေျပာစရာရွိရင္ လႊတ္ေတာ္ထဲကေျပာ လို႔ပဲ ေျပာေတာ့မွာေပါ့၊ လႊတ္ေတာ္ထဲမွာလည္းပဲ ႀကံ့ဖြံ႔နဲ႔စစ္တပ္က လႊမ္းမိုးေနေတာ့ ေျပာဆို တင္ျပသမွ် ပယ္ခ်ခံေနရဦးမွာပဲ” ဟု မခင္ဥမၼာက ဆိုသည္။
မခင္ဥမၼာက အစုိးရ၏ ေျခလွမ္းမ်ားကုိ သံသယ ရိွေသာ္လည္း မၾကာေသးမီက ႏိုင္ငံေရးပါတီမ်ား မွတ္ပုံတင္ျခင္း ဥပေဒ၏ အခ်က္တခ်ဳိ႕အား ျပင္ဆင္လိုက္ျခင္းကို ႀကိဳဆိုလုိက္သည္။
ျပင္ဆင္ထားသည့္ ဥပေဒၾကမ္းအား လႊတ္ေတာ္ ႏွစ္ရပ္လုံးက ေအာက္တိုဘာ ၂၇ ရက္ေန႔တြင္ အတည္ျပဳခ့ဲၾကၿပီး သမၼတ လက္မွတ္ေရးထိုးရန္သာ လိုေတာ့သည္။
ထိုသုိ႔ ျပင္ဆင္ခ်က္မ်ားတြင္ ၂၀၀၈ ဖြဲ႔စည္းပုံ အေျခခံဥပေဒအား ထိန္းသိမ္းေစာင့္ေရွာက္ရမည္ ဟူေသာ စကားရပ္အစား ေလးစားလိုက္နာရမည္ဟု ေျပာင္းလဲ ေရးသားခ်က္ ပါ၀င္သည္။ အက်ဥ္းက်ခံဖူးသူမ်ား ပါတီ တည္ေထာင္ခြင့္၊ အက်ဥ္းက်ေနသူမ်ား ပါတီ၀င္အျဖစ္ သတ္မွတ္ပိုင္ခြင့္ စသည့္ အခ်က္မ်ားလည္း ပါ၀င္သည္။
NLD ပါတီသည္ မွတ္ပုံတင္ပါက ၾကားျဖတ္ေရြးေကာက္ပြဲ၌ အနည္းဆုံး ကိုယ္စားလွယ္ ၃ ေနရာ ၀င္ေရာက္ အေရြးခံရမည္ျဖစ္သည္။ လစ္လပ္ေနေသာ မဲဆႏၵနယ္ ၅၀ ၀န္းက်င္ အတြက္ ျပဳလုပ္မည့္ ၾကားျဖတ္ေရြးေကာက္ပြဲ က်င္းပမည့္ အခ်ိန္ကုိ အစုိးရက ေၾကညာျခင္း မရိွေသးေပ။
“NLD ပါတီနဲ႔ ပတ္သက္ၿပီးေတာ့ ၾကားျဖတ္ ေရြးေကာက္ပြဲကို မ၀င္ဘဲ ၂၀၁၅ (ေရြးေကာက္ပဲြ) မွာပဲ တႏိုင္ငံလုံး အတိုင္းအတာနဲ႔၀င္ေစ ခ်င္ေနၾကတာ ရွိသလို ရသေလာက္ကို ၀င္ၿပိဳင္ၿပီးေတာ့ လႊတ္ေတာ္ထဲက ေျပာဆိုေစခ်င္သူေတြလည္း ၾကားေနရပါတယ္၊ က်ေနာ္ကေတာ့ ျပည္သူအားလုံး အက်ဳိးရွိမယ့္ ကိစၥဆိုရင္ အားလုံးက ပူးေပါင္းသင့္တယ္ ထင္တယ္” ဟု ဦးေအးသာေအာင္က ေျပာသည္။
ဤအေတာအတြင္း ကိုမင္းကိုႏိုင္၊ ကိုေဌးၾကြယ္၊ ကိုကိုႀကီး စသည့္ ထင္ရွားသူမ်ား အပါအ၀င္ ႏုိင္ငံေရးအက်ဥ္းသားမ်ား ျပန္လည္ လြတ္ေျမာက္လာေတာ့မည္ဟု ၾကားသိရေၾကာင္း ဦးေအးသာေအာင္က ေျပာသည္။ ထုိသတင္းႏွင့္ ပတ္သက္ျပီး အာဏာပုိင္တုိ႔က အတည္ျပဳ ေျပာဆုိျခင္း မရိွေသးေပ။
NLD ပါတီ မွတ္ပုံတင္ၿပီး ၾကားျဖတ္ ေရြးေကာက္ပဲြ၀င္ေရးကုိ အျပည့္အ၀ ေထာက္ခံသူမ်ားထဲတြင္ NDF ပါတီ ေခၚ အမ်ဳိးသားဒီမိုကေရစီ အင္အားစုလည္း ပါ၀င္သည္။
“ျပည္သူေတြရဲ႕ လိုအပ္ခ်က္ေတြကို လႊတ္ေတာ္ထဲက ေျပာခ်င္တယ္ ဆိုရင္ေတာ့ ပါတီေထာင္ၿပီး ေရြးေကာက္ပြဲ၀င္တာ အေကာင္းဆုံးပါ၊ လႊတ္ေတာ္ႏိုင္ငံေရးကသာ အာဏာရွင္အစိုးရကို ပယ္ဖ်က္ႏိုင္မယ္လို႔ ယူဆတယ္” ဟု NDF ပါတီ ေခါင္းေဆာင္ ဦးခင္ေမာင္ေဆြက ဆိုသည္။

“အဖြဲ႔ခ်ဳပ္ဗဟိုကေန ဆံုးျဖတ္ေဆာင္ရြက္တာကို က်ေနာ္တုိ႔ကေတာ့ လုိက္နာေဆာင္ရြက္မွာ ျဖစ္တယ္ေလ။ က်ေနာ္တုိ႔ျမင္တာကေတာ့ ႏိုင္ငံေရးပါတီရယ္လို႔ျဖစ္လာရင္ေတာ့ ႏိုင္ငံေရးလုပ္ငန္းေတြ ေဆာင္ရြက္ဖို႔၊ ႏိုင္ငံေရးအာဏာ ရယူဖို႔၊ ႏိုင္ငံေရးအာဏာ ရယူမွ ကုိယ္လိုခ်င္တဲ့လူထုအတြက္ ဒီမိုကေရစီနဲ႔ လူ႔အခြင့္အေရးကို က်ေနာ္တုိ႔က ေဆာင္ၾကဥ္းႏိုင္မွာ ျဖစ္တာကိုး။ အထဲက ေခါင္းေဆာင္မႈျဖစ္တဲ့ ဗဟိုအလုပ္မႈေဆာင္အဖြဲ႔ ရွိတယ္၊ ဗဟိုအလုပ္မႈေဆာင္ ေကာ္မတီ၀င္ေတြ ရွိတယ္။ ၿမိဳ႕နယ္အသီးသီးက ေခါင္းေဆာင္ေတြ ရွိတယ္။ အဲဒီလို အားလံုးရဲ႕ သေဘာတူဆႏၵနဲ႔အညီ ဆံုးျဖတ္ေဆာင္ရြက္ၾကလိမ့္မယ္လို႔ က်ေနာ္တုိ႔ အေလးအနက္ ယံုၾကည္တဲ့အတြက္ တရား၀င္ ႏုိင္ငံေရးပါတီအျဖစ္ မွတ္ပံုတယ္မယ္ဆိုတဲ့ ကိစၥကိုေတာ့ က်ေနာ္တို႔အေနနဲ႔ ကန္႔ကြက္စရာမရွိဘူးလို႔ က်ေနာ္ ေျပာခ်င္ပါတယ္။
“အဲဒီေတာ့ က်ေနာ္တုိ႔က NLD လြတ္ေျမာက္နယ္ေျမသည္ က်ေနာ္တို႔ ရွိေနျခင္းက အက်ိဳးရွိမလား၊ အက်ိဳးယုတ္ေစႏုိင္မလား။ အက်ိဳးယုတ္ေစႏိုင္မယ္ဆိုရင္ေတာ့ က်ေနာ္တုိ႔က အားလံုးရဲ႕ ညိႇႏိႈင္းေဆာင္ရြက္မႈနဲ႔ NLD-LA ရွိသင့္မသင့္၊ ဆက္ၿပီး ေဆာင္ရြက္သင့္မသင့္ က်ေနာ္တုိ႔ ၀ိုင္း၀န္းဆံုးျဖတ္သြားၾကရမွာ ျဖစ္တယ္ေလ။ သို႔ေသာ္လည္း က်ေနာ္တို႔ကေတာ့ NLD-LA က ယခင္ကလည္း မိခင္ NLD ေဆာင္ရြက္ႏိုင္တဲ့ ကိစၥေပါ့။ ဥပမာ - ဒီဘက္မွာ တိုင္းရင္းသား လက္နက္ကိုင္အဖြဲ႔ေတြနဲ႔ က်ေနာ္တို႔က နီးနီးကပ္ကပ္ ပူးေပါင္းေဆာင္ရြက္ႏိုင္တယ္။ က်ေနာ္တို႔နဲ႔ သူတုိ႔ၾကားမွာ နားလည္မႈေတြ တည္ေဆာက္ႏုိင္တယ္။ အလုပ္ေတြ အတူတူလုပ္ႏုိင္တယ္။
ဒီဟာေတြအတြက္ေတာ့ က်ေနာ္တို႔က NLD-LA က ရွိဖို႔လိုအပ္တယ္ဆိုရင္ေတာ့ ဆက္ရွိေနဦးမွာပဲ။”
NLD အေနနဲ႔ ပါတီ မွတ္ပံုတင္ေရး မတင္ေရး ဆံုးျဖတ္တာမွာ လက္ရွိ ႏုိင္ငံေရး အက်ဥ္းသားအေရး၊ တုိင္းရင္းသားအေရးနဲ႔ စစ္မွန္တဲ႔ ေတြ႔ဆံုေဆြးေႏြးေရး ကိစၥေတြကို ထည့္သြင္း စဥ္းစားဖို႔ေတာ့ လိုတယ္လို႔ ထုိင္းႏုိင္ငံအေျခစိုက္ ျမန္မာႏုိင္ငံ ဒီမိုကရက္တစ္ တပ္ေပါင္းစု (FDB) ရဲ႕ အေထြေထြ အတြင္းေရးမႉးခ်ဳပ္ ေဒါက္တာ ႏုိင္ေအာင္က ေျပာဆိုပါတယ္။
“က်ေနာ္တို႔အားလံုး တုိင္းျပည္ကို ျပန္လည္ေကာင္းေအာင္ လုပ္ေစခ်င္တယ္ဆိုရင္ေတာ့ အေျခခံေကာင္းတဲ့ အေျခအေနတစ္ရပ္ ရွိဖို႔လိုပါတယ္။ အဲဒါက ႏိုင္ငံေရးအက်ဥ္းသားေတြ ျပန္လႊတ္ရမယ္။ ေနာက္ၿပီးေတာ့မွ ရန္သူေတြရဲ႕အျပဳအမူေတြ ရပ္ဆိုင္းတဲ့အေနနဲ႔ အပစ္အခတ္ ရပ္စဲေရးလုပ္ရမယ္။ ေတြ႔ဆံုေဆြးေႏြးပြဲဆိုတာ ေပၚရမယ္။ အဲဒါဆိုလိုရရွိရင္ တစ္ေယာက္နဲ႔တစ္ေယာက္ ရန္ရွာစရာမလိုဘဲနဲ႔ အားလံုးကေနၿပီးေတာ့ သြားလို႔ရတဲ့ အေနအထားမ်ိဳးေပါ့။

အေနာက္ႏုိင္ငံ ဥေရာပတုိ႔ အီးယူႏုိင္ငံတုိ႔မွာ ပုဂၢဳိလ္ေတြလည္း အနည္းငယ္ ရွိပါတယ္တဲ့။ အမ်ားစုကေတာ့ ျမန္မာႏုိင္ငံကုိ အျပစ္ ေျပာေနဆဲ ျဖစ္ပါတယ္တဲ့။ ျမန္မာႏုိင္ငံအေနနဲ႔ အေလ်ာ့ေပးၿပီးေတာ့ ဒီလုိ ေျပာင္းလဲမႈႏႈန္း တုိးတက္လာတာနဲ႔အမွ် အဲဒီလုိ ပုဂၢဳိလ္ေတြရဲ႕ အေျပာကလည္း ေလ်ာ့လာမွာ ျဖစ္ႏုိင္ပါတယ္လုိ႔ သူက ထင္ျမင္ခ်က္ ေပးပါတယ္။"
ဟုတ္ကဲ့၊ သူက အတြင္းေရးမႉးခ်ဳပ္လာမယ္လုိ႔ ေျပာသလားခင္ဗ်၊ ျမန္မာျပည္ကုိ။
"ဟုတ္ကဲ့၊ လာမယ္လုိ႔ ေျပာတယ္။ ဒါေပမယ့္ အခ်ိန္ေတာ့ မေျပာဘူးဗ်။"
မၾကာခင္လာမယ္လုိ႔ ေျပာသလား။
"ဟုတ္ကဲ့၊ လာမယ္။ လာတဲ့အခါက်ရင္ ဒီထက္ တုိးတက္ ေျပာင္းလဲတဲ့အေျခအေန သူျမင္သြားရင္ သူလည္း လက္ခံသြားႏုိင္တယ္ ဆုိတဲ့ဟာကုိ သူ ေမွ်ာ္လင့္ပါတယ္ေပါ့။"

"ဦးခင္ေအာင္ျမင့္ကေတာ့ Sanction ေလးေတြ (ပိတ္ဆုိ႔ အေရးယူမႈေတြ) ေလ်ာ့ေပးဖုိ႔၊ ျပန္သြားရင္ ျပန္ေျပာေပးပါလုိ႔ အဲဒီလုိ စကားပါးလုိက္တယ္။ ေနာက္ၿပီးေတာ့မွာ က်ေနာ္တုိ႔က ပါလီမန္စံနစ္ ခ်ီတက္တာက အင္မတန္မွ ႏုနယ္ေသးတဲ့အတြက္ေၾကာင့္ သိပ္ ျမန္ျမန္ ဆန္ဆန္ႀကီးေတာ့ ေျပာင္းလဲရင္

Give Suu Kyi a Blank Check
By AUNG ZAW
Wednesday, November 2, 201, Irrawaddy.
In early November 2010, Burma held a sham general election while Aung
San Suu Kyi was still under house arrest, and even if she had been free
the country’s Political Parties Registration Law would have prohibited
her from running for a seat in the military- and ex-military-dominated
Parliament.
In contrast, last week Burma’s Parliament passed amendments to the Political Parties Registration Law that would allow both Suu Kyi and her party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), to legally participate in the political process. Moreover, President Thein Sein appears to be seeking what may be the ultimate stamp of legitimacy for his new government by actively attempting to persuade Suu Kyi to register the NLD and run for office.
On
Sunday, Suu Kyi held her fourth meeting in as many months with Labor
Minister Aung Kyi—the government’s liaison to the opposition
leader—during which they reportedly discussed both the Political Parties
Registration Law amendments and a wide range of the country’s most
pressing issues, including the conditions surrounding an amnesty, peace
talks with ethnic armed groups and economic and financial matters. Following
the meeting, the pro-democracy leader was upbeat and said that in the
coming days she will hold a series of meetings with NLD leaders, ethnic
leaders and other opposition allies. When asked if the NLD would
register, however, Suu Kyi kept her cards close to her vest. "Once we
see the law, then we will hold a party meeting and decide whether or not
we will register," she said.
Reading between the lines, Suu Kyi was saying that if the negotiations taking place over the details of the Political Parties Registration Law and the other major issues being discussed result in terms acceptable to her and the NLD, then the party will re-register and contest in future elections, including the upcoming by-election for seats vacated—mostly by MPs joining Thein Sein’s administration—since the November 2010 election.
To the dismay of critics and observers who just a few months earlier dismissed her relevance and ability to lead, Suu Kyi is now more influential and popular than ever, and both Thein Sein and major international players such as the US have clearly acknowledged her as the main opposition leader. This was confirmed in spades by her one-on-one meeting with Thein Sein in August, and reconfirmed by her latest meeting with his liaison, as well as the government’s not so subtle attempt to court her into the formal political process.
Suu Kyi is well aware of the factions and rivalries within the Burmese government and clearly sees Thein Sein as the horse to place her bet on. This was reflected in an article in the Wall Street Journal, where she said she believes the president is honest and straightforward.
This perception did not happen immediately after the new government was formed; it took time to emerge over a period of mutual confidence building. Suu Kyi was first allowed a minor personal excursion to Bagan, during which she took pains to not be too overtly political or do anything to unleash a backlash from government hard-liners.
On July 19, Thein Sein’s government allowed Suu Kyi even more leeway when it permitted her and some 2,000 people to march from NLD headquarters to the Martyr’s Day ceremony, where police officials did not intervene and actually helped facilitate the biggest public opposition gathering since the 2007 crackdown on pro-democracy protesters. Then on August 14, Suu Kyi was allowed to travel to Pegu and meet with supporters. In both instances, Suu Kyi kept things low-key and did not take advantage of the situation by stirring the crowd into any kind of anti-government frenzy, although she clearly could have done so if she had wanted to.
After Martyr’s Day, the meetings between Suu Kyi and government minister Aung Kyi resumed, and Suu Kyi saw a perceptible difference in her interactions with the new government versus the old military junta. Under the previous regime, Aung Kyi was merely a messenger of the senior generals. But to Suu Kyi’s delight, this time he was given more authority to speak on behalf of the government and brought decent proposals on the key issues to be discussed, including the release of political prisoners.
Suu Kyi was even more pleasantly surprised when Thein Sein invited her to visit to Naypyidaw to meet with him and attend a government-sponsored economic forum.

Suu Kyi was even more pleasantly surprised when Thein Sein invited her to visit to Naypyidaw to meet with him and attend a government-sponsored economic forum.
A key player who deserves at least some credit for the
meeting and the improved relations is respected economist U Myint, who
despite having played guitar along with Suu Kyi’s son at NLD
headquarters after Suu Kyi was released, was appointed to be the chief
economic advisor to the president.
The irony is that no foreign envoy played a major role in breaking the ice between the two camps—it was a homegrown initiative that came from the mutual desire of both sides wanting to sit down and talk.
Suu Kyi was probably, and rightfully, skeptical at first. After all, she had been invited several times in the past to meet with key regime leaders, including the former junta chief, Snr-Gen Than Shwe, and each time she had later ended up back under house arrest. But despite being known as a vague politician beholden to Than Shwe, the more personal style of Thein Sein undoubtedly helped set Suu Kyi more at ease.
During her visit to Naypyidaw, Thein Sein’s wife, Khin Khin Win, even held a non-pretentious family dinner for Suu Kyi that included good-natured and candid conversation, according to informed government sources. This was quite a contrast from Suu Kyi’s previous experience with the wives of Burmese generals, many of whom were notoriously corrupt and haughty and held open animosity towards the pro-democracy leader.
In Burma, personal relationships play a big part in discussions between opposing parties, and Suu Kyi has been extremely positive since her cordial visit with Thein Sein in Naypyidaw. She seems convinced that changes are coming to Burma and it is time to take a chance—and that the best way she can contribute to the peace and prosperity of the nation is to participate in the process of political transition.
The Burmese government’s embrace of Suu Kyi—along with steps such as releasing a number of political prisoners, relaxing restrictions on the press and suspending the Myitsone Dam project—has turned the recently isolated country that was known as a pariah state into a diplomatic hotspot.
Indonesia currently holds the chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean), a chair which Burma would like to assume in 2014, and Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa just visited Burma on a fact-finding mission. After the foreign minister’s three-day visit, he said that Naypyidaw's political reforms look “irreversible” and added that he believed the process would continue, but said more changes need to take place before Burma assumes the Asean chair.
The Burmese government is also keen to improve relations with the US in order to counterbalance China’s influence, and to get US sanctions lifted or significantly reduced. The US assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights and labor, Michael Posner, and the US coordinator for policy on Burma, Derek Mitchell, will arrive in Naypyidaw today. It will be Mitchell’s third visit in two months, and he has previously said that if Burma takes concrete actions towards real reform, the US will reciprocate in kind.
European support, particularly from certain EU members, has been actively solicited by the new Burmese government as well. Norway’s deputy foreign minister concluded a visit to Burma a few weeks ago and now the Norwegian international development minister is in town. In addition, Harn Yawnghwe, the director of the Brussels-based Euro-Burma Office, just concluded a trip to Burma that included a flurry of meetings with government and opposition leaders.
The UN—whose special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Burma has recommended a Commission of Inquiry into crimes against humanity in Burma—also has its special envoy in country, with Vijay Nambiar currently in Rangoon for his second visit this year.
So with Asean, the US, Europe and the UN all represented in Burma at virtually the same time—a time when Suu Kyi is actively engaged in discussions with the government regarding her potentially joining the formal political process—what does the revolving door of diplomats denote?
Are they all in Burma just to keep tabs on the situation? Or are they there to both encourage the “reform” process and push the Burmese leaders to quickly make it more concrete and irreversible?
With Burma’s by-elections and an Asean meeting upcoming, and with the US about to turn the corner into an election year, it seems that now may be the time that the preliminary small-talk has stopped and the major players have sat down for serious negotiations over the top issues of concern to all sides.
If so, then this may be the best chance that Suu Kyi has to force Thein Sein and his new government allies to put their cards on the table and show how serious they are about meaningful and irreversible reform.

Given
the internal rivalries and the possibility that the balance of power
could tip back towards the hard-liners if Thein Sein and his reformist
group falters, some political analysts have argued that Thein Sein
should receive sufficient support from inside and outside of Burma to
strengthen both his reform agenda and his internal power without
expecting him to give too much in return at this point.
Others disagree, however, suspecting that the government is attempting to increase its legitimacy and obtain international concessions while making only small changes around the edge while maintaining firm control at the center.
Suu Kyi is aware of the arguments on both sides and of the pitfalls of taking one position or the other. But despite her improved relations with the government and their open attempts to woo her, she must maintain her role as the main opposition figure and maximize this opportunity for the benefit of all the people of Burma, including the country’s diverse ethnic groups.
Suu Kyi has received significant support from ethnic groups since her release from house arrest in November and, like her father, she will not betray her ethnic allies. Their issues, including the ongoing armed conflicts, have been one of her top agenda items when meeting with government officials, and she seems committed to following through on her offer to act as a peace broker between the government and ethnic groups.
Since Suu Kyi’s release from house arrest, there has been an ongoing debate about whether she should remain as head of the NLD or leave the party and become a national figure without allegiance to one particular organization, allowing her to lead the effort towards national reconciliation by being an independent player in a position to bridge the gaps between all stakeholders. Suu Kyi is also aware of shortcomings in the NLD and the need for reform, so it won’t be surprising if in the future she delegates more authority and power to a younger generation of respected leaders, some of whom may currently be outside the NLD fold. There has even been a rumor that she has been offered a government position, but has turned it down.
However, regardless of what Suu Kyi chooses to do about her NLD affiliation in the future, or whether she decides to run for office or stay outside the day-to-day political fray, what is now necessary is that the positive energy between the government and opposition camps be used to bring about real change that will have a significant impact on the lives of the people of Burma.
The many political dissidents still in prison, the ethnic soldiers fighting in the jungle, those suffering from human rights abuses such as rape and forced labor, refugees and displaced people along the border and all the people struggling just to survive in Burma deserve a better future, and they have already placed their faith in Suu Kyi as their leader and the chief negotiator on their behalf.
What will be required is a combination of goodwill and pragmatism together with tough resolve and an unflinching negotiating strategy regarding key issues. In order to obtain the best results, both the Burmese people and the international community need to speak with one voice. Suu Kyi is that voice, and she should be given both our full support and a blank check to cut the best deal possible under the current circumstances—which all signs indicate could, if the negotiations are handled properly, be a good one for the people of Burma.
