Myanmar and non Myanmar community with interest in Myanmar affairs : Call for recognition of Myanmar National Unity government by the UN general assembly - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/Kds6bQzXzP via @Change

"The ruin of Myanmar is not only a calamity for the 54m Burmese; it also creates risks that could ripple through the region". Rather than cookie cutter responses, urgent out of the box thinking & action now will avoid much pain & far tougher strategic choices in the years to come
