Derek Mitchell, a senior fellow with the CSIS International Security Program, was quoted by USA Today, "Crisis in Burma Could Force Junta to Allow Outside Aid."
Poor, isolated and under tough international sanctions, Burma faces a humanitarian crisis that could force its military junta to open its doors to the outside world.
"I'm not optimistic about a change of heart," said Derek Mitchell, a senior fellow specializing in Asia at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "This is a famously autarchic, paranoid, xenophobic regime that's gone through all kinds of hardships."
