My visit to Moscow highlighted that Russia does not want to seize the opportunity to have a more constructive dialogue with the EU. This is regrettable and we will have to draw the consequences.

What happens next in Myanmar may depend on the answer to a few very different questions. First is whether the protests and civil disobedience campaigns escalate and lead to more widespread arrests and a bloody crackdown. The position of the Buddhist Sangha will be important too.

Important to remember that Beijing's worked hard for years to cultivate ties with Aung San Suu Kyi; also that the army is the political institution that's been most wary of China, because of past support and perceived current ties to non-State armies

The doors just opened to a very different future. I have a sinking feeling that no one will really be able to control what comes next. And remember Myanmar's a country awash in weapons, with deep divisions across ethnic & religious lines, where millions can barely feed themselves

Dynamics since the Nov. elections have brought the three decades long contest btw the army and the NLD to a critical juncture. Over the coming days & weeks this relationship, crucial for every that happens next in Myanmar, will unfold in new directions. No business as usual.
