As the saying goes, “Truth is bitter.” But we must face these bitter truths if we want to avoid deception, abandon illusions and act practically to solve our country’s chronic political crisis.
Let’s swallow that bitter medicine. This is about diagnosing a deep-rooted disease that has plagued Myanmar for over a century. I call it “Myanmar’s 60-Year Political Cycle.” Why? Because our country has already endured 60 years under colonial rule and another 60 years under military dictatorship. The question now is: What comes next?
Can Myanmar finally become a peaceful and stable nation after breaking free from military rule? When, and how, will we escape it?
