Next government warned to steer clear of the Myitsone
Kachin activists are promising a fierce fight over the future of the suspended Myitsone dam project, with one prominent spokesperson threatening a fight “to the death” if the incoming government allowed the project to go ahead.
President U Thein Sein won plaudits for announcing the suspension of the controversial project in 2011, but that injunction will last only until his five-year presidency ends next March.
