Politicians and EAO leaders are reviewing discussing differences between Thailand and Myanmar in dealing with peace, stability and economy when the military leaders take political power.
Whenever the military takes power in Thailand, the country's economy, education, health, tourism sectors do not tend to be adversely affected. However, whenever the military takes power in Myanmar, the country's political, economy, education, health sectors tend to deteriorate.
Whenever the military takes power in Thailand, the US does not impose any sanctions and the public and army do not tend to commit violence, said Col. Khun Okka, an EAO leader to CNI News.
" When the military takes power, the US doesn't impose sanctions. But soon after the military took power, the US tend to suspend its aids to Thailand for a short time. When the military seizes power in Thailand, the public doesn't protest in a big way. The public also is not affected. Thai king also is the main pillar. If he didn't object the coup, demonstrations wouldn't take too long. When Thai king didn't agree to the coup, it was not successful. When General Suchinda couped, he suppressed brutally the protesters. But when Thai king admonished him, brutal suppression stopped." said Col.Khun Okka.

Because there are no individuals and institutions that can intervene and maintain, terrorist attacks cannot be stopped, he added. There are no pillars that can intervene in our country.
“That's why, we are finding it difficult. I had told ethnic leaders if we would intervene soon after the coup took place. But They didn't dare to do so. Now that there aren't any intervention, terrorist attacks are endless." he said.
There are 19 coup d'états in Thailand between 1932 and 2014. Although the number of coup d'état is less than in Thailand, a coup d'état tends to take several decades.
Due to the military coup, Thai economy also tend to decline. But Thai management is better than Myanmar, said Yebaw Aye Lwin, spokesperson of the All Burma Students Democratic Front (ABSDF) to CNI News.
"The participation of the institutions and experts in Thailand are much better than in Myanmar. As soon as the military coups in Myanmar, due to poor management, economic decline and a lot of setbacks arise." he said.
If the foundations of the country - freedom, justice and equality are dysfunctional, armed conflicts will be occurring, said U Ko Ko Gyi, chairman of the People's Party (PP) to CNI News.
" To tell you frankly, a government - any kind of government is most responsible for all the problems of the country. If you put blame on the opposition and underground activists that instabilities arise because of them, it's not enough. Why do these problems arise? The foundations of our country - freedom, justice and equality in the Independence Declaration which are carved in the Independence Monument in the center of Yangon, if these basics are broken, political conflicts and armed conflicts will take long" he said.
Due to the current armed conflicts, the country's politics, economy, education and health are deteriorating and the public is facing with crises as well.
