Introduction
The Systematic organization impacts to the Human Society to develop their union and institutions. That is why, there is a great deal of needs of all human beings nowadays -the fully human right which is only one thing by which they can go to a legislated and developed country.
The Human Right is represented for those who want to live very peaceful and righteous life with not harmed and not harming other ones and it is inherent on democratic organization or institution, which always stands by the sense of knowing their own right and responsibility for others. At present day, what the people search in variety of circumstance of today-world is systematic and democratic organization in order to draw their destiny by themselves and give full service for others in need. The very big numbers of countries in the world have almost practices democracy and drive the democratic organization with best wish of their people whereas some countries still denying to accept the policy of democracy such as – Myanmar, Libya and so on.
2010 was a memorial year not only for the Myanmar but also the Thais because in 2009, in Myanmar the Juntas announced the people to hold the fair and free election for Democracy with aim of giving up Military ruling and in 2010 the Juntas held the election in nationwide with fifty two parties either fair or not and in Thailand, there was a huge violence exploring between the government and Red-Shirt won- protesters. Whatever violence happens in the world, most are breaking out against the Human Right or opposed to the people’s wish. The great competition between those who do not want to give the Right to the people and those who ask for their Right causes the violence breaking out if opposed to each other.
Driving of the most vital role of country in Burma
The national dream hoped by the entire people of Myanmar for about 20 years might be said to be alive in 2010 but no one could not dare to say they achieved great opportunities to dream it freely and deeply because union transformation scheme had been under the shadow of regime unacceptable. However, the
Anyway, to stand on that top planned for 20 years with no any look at the people wishes, the regime drew the union constitution and brought the Kyant Fwant party, now the party of president U Thein Sein and set up the Min Aung Hlaing on the position of commander in- Chief of Defense of Union. All of unfair preparation for coming election and political changes were made of desire of the former state chair man of Peace and Development Council, Senior General U Than Shwe. It was also known by entire people but they had no chance to complain or discuss about that matter- so innocents.
The year 2010 was said not only to be the very big political transition in Burma but also to be a very terrible year remarkable in Myanmar history either acceptable or unacceptable and was a year when the Military Juntas kept their promises to reach at democracy after general election in 1990. Moreover, the 2010 was the year when the Military Regimes compensated for a massive amounts of lives of the people killed in 1990s. In 2010 in Myanmar, the most powerful union organization after Peace and Development Council of Myanmar was the Union Election Commission associated by the Commander-in Chief, Senior General Than Shwe, the former president of Union Defense with the higher position- personals of Military Regimes. Although they announced in 2009 to hold the free and faire general election in 2010, in fact they planned to implement it according to Eleven Roadmap to Democracy designed by General Khin Nyunt in 2003 after assembly of Nyaung Nite Pin, Hmwobi Township. Eleven Roadmaps for Democracy was provided with an obstacle of other official political parties and done for their favors. It is designed that the Military Regimes can overwhelm all political activities. Despite that high magnitude Cyclone which killed 130,0000 people broke out in lower part of Myanmar- Irrawady District, the Juntas held a referendum in nationwide and the Dictatorship released that 98.12 of eligible voters had cast ballots and so the new constitution reached at the favors of 92%48 voters. The new constitution contains the Union Election Commission law which has so many objections for Political Parties such as-NLD, international parties and other former ethnic minority parties to take place in election. Therefore, their election was regarded as the fake and fraudulent election by the people within and without.
About four weeks before union election, the Prime Minister, U Thein Sein and his followers- ministers assigned to candidate in Election because there is an electoral Act in Chapter 2- Formation in new constitution- the leader of political parties who want to register his or her party must be a person free from personnel of Government. No sooner U Thein Sein, the prime minister and his followers- ministers gave up their official position, then they registered for election to Union Election Commission, named as the Party of Union Solidarity and Development Party (UDSP) which is an alternative name of Union Solidarity and Development Association (USDA) while taking the service of Prime Minister. Total forty –two parties, though all forty-five parties submitted for registration were allowed to register by the UEC with the reason of that the de-registered parties-five are not fit to the electoral laws. In 2010, November 7, the election was held by the Union Election Commission by force of the Junta.
However, no parties could match the USDP which won 76 percents of all seats in the national and state/ regional parliaments. After election, the junta released the Daw Aung Sun Su Kyi, the leader of Myanmar Democracy from arrested and she won the Junta in 1990 election but the junta in 2010 election left a site of her by purpose.
The Junta held the Parliament in January 31, 2011 with allowing the parties’ leaders to debate, listening to the Chair of UEC. Then, As the people thought, Than U Thein Swe became the president of Union of Republic of Myanmar and Min Aung Hlaing, an aggressive person, the Commander- in Chief of Defense of Union. Than Swe grouped the Union Commission for watch and advice of the Union if needed, which is above the president. Soon Then, U Than Swe gave up his official position and retired.
The Strikes in Myanmar & Thailand in 2010
As in Thailand, there are two great political divisions to debate in election, so are the some armed parties in Myanmar which are against with government for democracy- all are ethnic minority groups. They had official agreement with the Government to cease fire since 1992 so they are known as ceasefire groups. The ceasefire group contained Kakhin Independent Organization, United Wa State Army, National Democratic Alliance Army, New Mon State Party, Khahin State Progressive Party, Shan State Progressive Parity( south and north), Democratic Kayin Buddhist Army, Karinni Nationalities People Liberation Front. The Juntas about two monks before election released that all of ethnic minority ceasefire group might transfer into Border Guard Force under the command of Government Army in 1st of Septemper,2010 with no agreement of ethnic groups. Some small groups-Democratic Kayin Buddhist Army, New Democratic Army- Kakhin and Kayinni Nationalities People Liberation Front transferred but most of big groups remained disagreed. The Union Election Commission refused the main Kakhin Parties to take part in election. Therefore, tension between the Government and ethnic minority-armed group has been increased. Then, the Government broke the cease-agreement and attacked those of cease group who disagreed with them.
2010 was said to be the worse and tumulus political competition in Thailand and about 900 people were death in Bangkok strike in 2010. Thailand is the monarchy country and the King is the most powerful one in country and he is a fair and kind one who distributed the people. However, the military intervention sometimes seems to be worse in politic not only in Thailand but also in any other country. The military of Thailand used sea-power to leave away the prime minister, Thaksin in 2006 and the court sentenced him with the guilty of corruption of evading the tax for three years in prison. Then, Abhisit Vejjajiva became the Prime ministry of Thailand exiling Thaksin. In 2008, then, the supporters of Thaksin protested wearing Red- Shirt on the appointment of Abhisit as a prime minister. In April, 2009, thousand of Red Shirt Thaksin supporters demonstrated to break up the ASEAN top level meeting. In March, 2010, the estimate amounts about ten thousands of protestors gathered in Bangkok, insisting the assignation of prime minister, Abhisit: the demonstration escalated into violence by mid- of April of 2010.
At first, Red –Shirts begun peaceful demonstration in Bangkok but later they turned into a massive violence and led the violence of over ninety people death. They camped in central Bangkok asking for fresh election and then the government offered the negotiation but the protesters disagreed. Later, the government took the military vehicles into Bangkok and attacked the protesters to be divided. In demonstration period from April to May, estimate rate of protesters’ deaths were about over 90 people.
Conclusion
I denote that in 2011 election the youngest sister of Thaksin became the first woman prime minister of Thailand as a consequence of Red-Shirt Demonstration in 2010. Anyhow, the political conflict which began in 2006 came into a end in 2011 but the natural disaster challenged the new prime minister in 2011: most of parts of Thailand including the Bangkok were affected by pick of flood. The recovering of factories sunk in flood, rehabilitation of broken households and protective plan from flood challenge the new Prime Ministry of Thailand, Mis, Yinluck Shinawatra. The expert said that the reform to Thailand flooded area and flooded factories would cost estimate about 900 billion Bahts. Anyhow, the Red-Shirts got satisfied with what they wanted to be and the opposed parties supported the prime minister wants and people wish. Unlike Thailand Parliament, the Myanmar Parliament for electing the President and any other Prime Minister and Minister ended with silence, no debate, no discussion and all of parties were led by USDP and the president also appeared from that parties and so did any other Prime Ministers of State or Regional.
Therefore, the experienced politicians remarked that the coming election would not be a right and legislative election because the constitution of Union and Union Election Commission had been drawn as what Military Regime wanted or desired. Anyway, the Government of Myanmar with calm held such an election with no care of any one, keeping the leader of people, Daw Su in jail. Then, Union of Myanmar drove her organization by means of direction of handful persons- Military Family. But, the President challenged so many insults from inside and outside. In Myanmar in which all – economics, education, democratic policy, politics went down within 20 years of Juntas, the union battle was the worst since then and it is a thing the first the president must settle down. But, the president could not order the commander in Chief, Min Aung Hlaing to stop the attack to the ethnic minorities-groups: if he wants to get the assistance from internationals and abolish the sanction of US and Europe, he needs to negotiate with all political parties and accomplish the national peace. Such is the great challenge to the President, U Thein Sein in Myanmar.
