Sri Lanka In Myanmar's Shadow: A Democracy Pact Is Imperative!

Sri Lanka In Myanmar’s Shadow: A Democracy Pact Is Imperative! 
Dr. Dayan Jayatilleka
It’s Myanmar today and could very well be Sri Lanka tomorrow, or more correctly in 2024 if the election results are not to the liking of the military or the ex-military brass. 
Coups are not always against Opposition parties; quite often they are against governing parties. The Myanmar coup was not against the Opposition; it was against the Aung San Suu Kyi who was the figurehead leader, and the party she leads.
The lessons for Sri Lanka are obvious. We are on the road to Myanmar and are already halfway there. Michelle Bachelet’s Report is helpful in the light it sheds on militarization.
