N2 - Consultant-written evaluations of Myanmar’s on-going civil war often start with the various armed organizations. Before 2021, roadmaps to peace, good governance, free markets, and human rights were promoted by donors as the way to create the peaceful and prosperous world all dreamed of. Dozens of such reports were written and posted to the Joint Peace Fund’s website before they were taken down following the February 1, 2021, coup. Many of them were encyclopedic, detailing the nuts and bolts of historic grievances between highland groups and lowland Bamar which Myanmar’s people needed to have the courage to resolve on Myanmar’s Transition to peace.
