LUCKY....

How fortunate we are to have visited this historical country before the turmoil in January 2011 and the military coup this month.

 

As British Foreign Secretary William Hague has described the current coup: This was a military intervention in a democratic system, but equally, it was a popular intervention. Everyone of us is eagerly awaiting the transition to a renewed democratic order in an imperfect democracy.
