Surprisingly, the military junta of Burma has enjoyed being a media celebrity during the build up to the 2010 elections. The junta announced that a potential election would be held at the end of this year, as an attempt to “guide flourishing democracy”. The people of Burma have been sharing its pain with the lack of freedom, down into zero degrees over the past four decades. It would be easy to advertise an election since so many things have gone wrong for the people since 1990. The fundamental question is – when will the military generals hand over the power to a fairly elected government? The logical answer appears as not any time soon.
