The Burmese President Thein Sein continues claiming about success in the peace process with various ethnic armed outfits, but his government has recently denied the permission to an UN representative to visit the active warzone of Kachin.

By KYAW PHYO THA
RANGOON — In a one-room wooden house in the northern part of Burma’s former capital, happy the man is Kin Maung Yin whose only wish and care is to paint.
Recognized as a leader in the first generation of Burma’s modern art movement, Kin Maung Yin is a living legend in Burmese contemporary art today, but he leads an austere lifestyle. He does not own a refrigerator or a washing machine at his home in Rangoon. Blank canvases are piled high where a television might otherwise stand, and he sleeps on the floor, not far from the spot where he paints. He has no family.
“Less is more,” says the 75-year-old. “I have everything I need here.”New image holds key in hunt for Brum’s Spitfires in Burma
