Ethnic parties are disenchanted with the National League for Democracy and must forge their own agenda going forward with the peace process, according to the leader of one of the largest ethnic alliances.
U Khun Tun Oo, head of the United Nationalities Alliance (UNA) and chair of the Shan National League for Democracy, said ethnic people cannot count on the ruling party.
“Ethnic people have only the UNA or the NBF [National Brotherhood Federation] or the current ethnic representatives of parliament to rely on for ethnic affairs. Ethnic people can no longer rely on the NLD,” he said during an opening speech at a UNA meeting on May 7. (Courtesy of Myanmar Times)
