One reason that Myanmar is a poor country is the weastern sanctions against the country. The regime in Burma have built hundreads of school, new road and briggs, and working to resolve the countrys energie crisis they have built new hydropower station and bulding a nuclear reactor
The GDP grow in Myanmar is 12,7% says the word bank.
They want the union of Myanmar to exist therefore they fight etnic rebel ho want split the country i a new "Jugoslavia era"
