Thein Sein's potentially important and lasting legacy

The Myanmar army’s imminent plan to launch military offensives against a member of the United Nationalities Federal Council (UNFC) threatens to derail Myanmar's peace process promoted by Myanmar President Thein Sein.

Fears of the offensive against the UNFC member, the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), prompted the alliance to call an urgent meeting in Chiang Mai from Feb 18-21. The federal council comprises nine ethnic groups that did not sign a Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) with the Thein Sein government in October last year. (Courtesy of Bangkok Post: Opinion)
