I would think so. I would think that somewhere in upper level of government they are maybe well aware of the current situation, because, as you know, although there is an elected government, these are former military officers. There are a lot of hardliners. President Thein Sein is reportedly a little open-minded, a little moderate, but in the government there are hardliners. As for knowledge of this lawlessness and anarchy, I'm confident that they have been well aware of it higher up in the military.
