    Optimism for Rohingya

    News, Editorial, Published on 16/04/2018

    » After months of a mix of cruelty and ineptitude, the Myanmar government has taken a small but possibly significant step on the Rohingya crisis. The Aung San Suu Kyi government has sent its minister of social welfare to Bangladesh. It was noteworthy that during the visit, Win Myat Aye spoke directly with Rohingya refugees and told them they could return to Rakhine state.

But labelling every action by the Russian government as hybrid has its drawbacks. Hybrid warfare is not some new form of Russian strategy; there are new challenges emerging from the confrontation with Russia, but to label everything as "hybrid" is to lack the accuracy and precision needed to confront this challenge.

I must note this was ignited by the craze for the periodical TV series Bupphesanniwat (Love Destiny), which was about the time journey of an archaeologist to the reign of Ayutthaya's King Narai the Great over 300 years ago.
