Mark Farmaner, Director at Burma Campaign UK is quoted in Democratic Voice of Burma- “America has led the world in endorsing a sham process, a transition from direct military rule to authoritarian regime rather than democracy.” As human rights violations continue to be alleged in Burma, Farmaner believes that the US is, in fact, impeding that road to democracy. “If anything, President Obama has undermined reform in Burma by lifting pressure too quickly and so reducing a key incentive for reform,” Farmaner said on Thursday. “The US might not have fired a shot, but the Burmese army certainly has.”
