Suu Kyi’s Presidential Ambitions Raise Security Fears (The Irrawaddy): ...“There has been unrest in this democracy,” Soe Win, a senior NLD politician, said. “If it continues like this, the 2015 elections might not even happen.” He said he believed religious clashes, including in western Burma’s Arakan State, were organized with political motives. “This unrest has been stirred up systematically, with a specific purpose, and instigators must be behind it,” he said. NLD lawmaker Phyu Phyu Thin said recent clashes between Buddhists and Muslims—and the slow response of law enforcement—indicated that security standards in the country were weak. “Daw Aung San Suu Kyi should be more alert than ever,” she said. “She won’t stop going places because of security reasons—if she needs to go, she will—so we need to work together for her security.”
