After a pandemic-induced two-year hiatus, the most recent SLD covered the gamut on the main stage, from the United States-China geostrategic competition and military modernisation to security cooperation and climate change. The only anomalous single- and small-country focus in a special session was Myanmar.

Might doesn't make right, unjust wars will fail
Oped, Published on 03/03/2022
» At this dark hour, when we see Russia's unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine and massive disinformation campaigns and information manipulation, it is essential to separate lies -- invented to justify what cannot be justified -- from facts.

Oped, Published on 28/01/2022
» Instead of looking for news, some journalists in post-coup Myanmar are looking after the cosmetics and clothes that they now sell for a living. Those who have stuck to news scrape by with slashed salaries if they are lucky enough, while some even work without being paid. Others have fled to the borderlands or sought refuge overseas.

Listen to outsiders
Oped, Postbag, Published on 02/12/2021
