Myanmar's Suu Kyi holds landmark rebel talks

Myanmar has been scarred by ethnic conflicts ever since its independence in 1948, with minority groups battling for greater autonomy against a central government that they believed has long ignored and abused them.

Suu Kyi has vowed to overturn that painful legacy with plans to hold a major peace conference later this summer.

Since 1948. There are some very deep and long sustained wounds to the psyche of humankind. Some are beginning anew, others finding resolution. Resolution is by far the cheapest and most effective use of resources. A prayer for Myanmar (Burma).
