The Fragile Promise of Democracy
In a noisy Yangon teashop, a university-educated young man leans forward with unsettling conviction: "We are building a fence with our bones." This chilling metaphor captures Myanmar's tragic paradox-a nation whose democratic awakening unleashed forces of exclusion rather than inclusion. As Myanmar emerged from decades of military rule in 2011, the world celebrated what appeared to be a triumph of democracy over dictatorship. Yet within months, shocking violence erupted between Buddhists and Muslims, particularly targeting the Rohingya minority in Rakhine State. This wasn't spontaneous hatred but the culmination of decades of careful social engineering by military rulers who had systematically weaponized ethnic and religious differences. The tragedy unfolding in Myanmar forces us to confront an uncomfortable truth: democracy without protection for minorities can become a vehicle for majority tyranny. When long-suppressed voices suddenly find freedom of expression, what happens when those voices call for the exclusion of others? Myanmar's story reveals how democratization, when built atop foundations of manufactured division, can unleash dormant prejudices with devastating consequences.
