Just a little comment.
If you choose to use "Myanmar", the people of Myanmar should be referred to as Myanmarees or "a man from Myanmar" or something that is different from the name of the country. (I believe that you know it's different form Burmese language.)
And, activists and the people who are not in support of the regime use the term Burma to refer to the country and Burmese to refer to the people.

Thank you for your comment. I will be using the name Burma and Burmese from now on, as i have been doing so in the past. This was a mistake.
