Sue Kyi seeks peaceful revolution

(15 november 2010)

Sue Kyi, who is just 2 days released after 15 years house arrest, has said that her aim is for a peaceful revolution in Burma. Burma held its first election in 20 years. Six days later after this election, pro democracy leader Sue Kyi was released. BBC news did an exclusive interview with her. She was saying that democracy would come to Burma eventually, although she did not know how long it would take. Some analysts suggest that if Aung San Suu Kyi's release leads to a change in the sanctions against trade and investment in Burma, China's leading role in the economy could be challenged.



My opnion: This item reminded me that she maybe is inspired by Martin Luther King and Gandhi because she wants a peaceful non violent revolution. I think this ‘revolution’ could take a while because she said that many things have to change like the mindset and values of the Burma people. I think this could be the beginning of the revolution. Also I think it is obvious that she is released just after 6 days Burma held its first election in 20 years. This could be a bad situation or an opportunity for her.
