Inside Burma's war/ Hannah Beech - 2009

Looks at the possible uprise of a civil war between the Burmese junta and the ethnic militias after 2 decades of cease-fire agreed between both sides. But this may lose out, when the Burmese government announces in April 2009 that the cease-fire groups would have to refashion their armies as part of a centrally controlled border guard force prior to the electoral run-up for 2010's elections. The ethnic militias are responding negatively towards this and therefore, this may prompt a big clash of the junta against these militias.
