On 18 February 2020, United Nations University hosted “What Future for Myanmar?”, a virtual conversation with Prof. Marie Lall, Professor of Education and South Asian Studies at the UCL Institute of Education.
For many, the military coup in Myanmar came as a surprise. They saw in Myanmar a country on course to democracy under the leadership of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. But looking at the country’s history, the past decades have been a contest between the army and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy. People expected economic transformation, peace, and social justice from the new leadership. However, discontent grew, both internally and internationally, as progress seemingly stalled.
How can the recent developments in Myanmar be explained? What is the reality on the ground after years of reform and extensive support from international donors? And what is the outlook for Myanmar’s democracy, and social and economic development?
Prof. Marie Lall was joined by UNU Executive Officer Dr Sabine Becker-Thierry to discuss the latest developments in the context of Myanmar’s reform process.
After seven months of this interview, I accidentally watched it. Nowadays, Myanmar is rapidly changing in many areas of the country. One thing that never changed since February 1st is that we must win at the end against military. The journey from freedom of our leader to form federal Domocracy country in the furture is still going on.
I believe that young generation will change the mentality of the olders one !!!
I almost cant remember when did I follow this channel
Excellent informative input. Thank you.
Excellent interview
About 75%of Myanmar people buried alive in poverty for long time, especially in rural villages. Since 2016, we have seen the silver lining because of Democracy brought by our Mother Day Aung San Su Kyi. But now it is being backward rapidly day by day. But we believe we will get back democracy after a serious fighting. We believe, we hope and we are fighting in any forms.
Stay strong, unite the people and stand up to autocrats; also the CCP and the religionists of peace. Wear all of them down. You have numbers on your side. Get more organised than the jackbooted goons (tatmadaw).
Good job

So the people were robbed their freedom & there's no way to gain back no matter how hard they're trying??
They were giving a false sense of freedom, The coup had always being in power and unless another country invades it by force. Don't think Russia or China will come to aid the coup after all coup is not communist.
We just want democracy back not about NLD party here. (We don’t want to be narrow-minded and naive like we used to be. Myanmar people are clever but underrated. 😢)Now the Military is now digging the financial record of high Authorities from NLD parties and trying to sue them. Obviously, we all know all high authorities accept money from the companies. Too much frustration happening in Myanmar 🥺 Banks are closed and shortage of fuel is predicted. 😢 my social media newsfeed is full of blood from the people who were shot by the military 😫 Those sanctions make us suffering. We all want them to free Daw San Suu Kyi to control this situation. She is the only one who has powerful influence on Myanmar people. Right now, we feel like we don’t have a leader.
Sadly Myanmar is located between two giant countries: China a communist state which has always exploited Myanmar's political crisis for its own profits and India the largest democracy in the world which has been indifferent to the struggles of Myanmar people for democracy.
Bro, you know you have two snakes in your house. The educated people have allowed themselves to be seduced by the CCP and the trinkets they offer.
It takes two to tango. Bharat is on a rapid growth path and willing to help. But you must come down off your high horse and respond much more aggressively to the threats by the religionists of peace.
