Excellent new paper by Jared Bissinger on the steady decline in Myanmar's economy and quality of life, with 77% of population below or near poverty line. The problems are all political, nothing any technical experts could try to fix. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Re: census: "The entire exercise of population census was peaceful, a likely pointer for the conduct of peaceful elections."

Minimum of 50 confirmed assassinations of ward administrators & census officials; 7 percent of all 63,000 villages in the country enumerated.

Election will be a bloodbath.
Bizarre analysis from Indian Army linked thinktank CLAWS...

Says:
-NCA EAOs invited to 🇮🇳 in Nov "fighting against Myanmar military" (nope)

Where in the world is Min Aung Hlaing? Look carefully.... he's the teeny tiny guy way in the back of the stage, while massive screens out front (left and right) make him look larger than life. Nov. 28 centenary of economics education event.

Only 4 days left to apply for this USAID/Burma Diversity & Inclusion Scholarship Program. Please, please apply now. A Trump Administration will surely end funding future rounds of this great opportunity.
