Editorial：Continued support for peace process in Myanmar
The intense fighting that broke out between Myanmar's government forces and the members of three armed groups on Sunday near the border with China has shown that the road to national reconciliation in Myanmar remains long and tortuous.
Myanmar has a long way to go in its quest for democracy because of its constitution, which guarantees the military 40 per cent of the seats in Congress and does not provide for elections. In order to solve Myanmar's ethnic and religious issues, Myanmar must carry out constitutional reform that calls for One World under One Set of Laws, with international law given precedence over domestic law. Reform should include a semi-presidential government with a parliament and cabinet, as well as popular election of the heads of government branches.
