Analysis At the time of the election Aljazeera argued that the election marginalised Aung San Suu Kyi. It asked "How much power and reach would she still have to rally her followers barely a week after the south-east Asian nation's first general election in two decades?" One such reason was because the NLD's boycott may have failed if it does not play the right cards in dealing with at least a semblance of an elected opposition in a "semi-legitimate" parliament. Pending her release from jail, the political atmosphere would have changed because of a new military leadership that may not be as "cosmopolitan" and "practical" in dealing both with her and external players. The British ambassador to Myanmar, Andrew Heyn, also said: "What they the junta do when Suu Kyi is released will send a message. She is well informed and committed and wants to stay involved."Marwaan Macan-Markar http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/2010/11/201011813425351859.html How relevant is Aung San Suu Kyi? – In Depth Al Jazeera 11 November 2010 11 November 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20101111071040/http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/2010/11/201011813425351859.html live Aftermath 2010–2012 Myanmar border clashes The following day clashes erupted between the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA) and government forces in Myawaddy by the Thai border.http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia-pacific/2010/11/2010118479326824.html Thousands flee Myanmar clashes Al Jazeera 11 November 2010 9 November 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20101109045631/http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia-pacific/2010/11/2010118479326824.html live The fighting spilled over to the town of Three Pagodas Pass with reports that the DKBA had seized the town from the military.
