Burma, previously known for it's secretive and savage repression has undergone a staggering amount of change in the last few years. Images and videos, which would have before earned the people showing them a long jail sentence, are being publicly shown. These changes have been recently rewarded in the international community. The U.S has agreed to send an ambassador to Burma for the first time since 1999. Burma has also enjoyed a visit from U.K foreign secretary, William Hague. While the international community is excited about these changes, it is clear that Burma still has a long way to go.
