Thein Sein
Thein Sein is a former President of Myanmar who served from 2011 to 2016. He is a retired general and was a member of the military junta that ruled the country before the transition to a quasi-civilian government. During his presidency, Thein Sein oversaw significant political reforms, including the release of political prisoners and the easing of censorship, which were aimed at improving Myanmar's international relations and attracting foreign investment. However, his administration also faced criticism for human rights abuses, particularly in conflict areas like Kachin State, where armed groups have been accused of forcibly recruiting local populations. Thein Sein's tenure was marked by a complex interplay of reform and ongoing conflict, particularly with ethnic armed groups.
