VOICED : Myanmar census to lift lid on

Myanmar is conducting its first census in 30 years, a significant step for a nation affected by military rule. The census faces challenges, including protests in Rakhine State due to ethnic tensions. The government is negotiating with ethnic rebels, but concerns about data use threaten peace talks. The UN, assisting with the census, faces criticism for not addressing political concerns. Public mistrust remains high, and the census's success is crucial for upcoming democratic elections. However, violence could disrupt the process.
