A coup in Myanmar, Aung San Suu Kyi in custody, emergency for one year
There has been a coup in the neighboring country of Myanmar. The Myanmar army has taken into custody the real leader Aung San Suu Kyi and President Vin Myint and declared an Emergency for a year. Myanmar military television says that the army has taken control of the country for a year and the commander-in-chief of the army, Min Aung Hlaing, is in power.
The Myanmar Army says that a coup action has been taken in response to the election fraud. With this coup, army troops have been deployed in different parts of the country. Soldiers have been stationed outside the city hall in Yangon, Myanmar’s main city, so that no one can resist the coup.
Let me tell you that the army has been ruling in Myanmar for a long time. From 1962 to 2011, there has been a dictatorship of the ‘military people’ in the country. In 2010, general elections were held in Myanmar and in 2011 a ‘civil government’ was formed in Myanmar. In which elected representatives got a chance to rule the public.
Even after the formation of a civil government, the real power always remained with the ‘Army’. Indirectly, the ‘military public’ remained Myanmar’s first power, it could not be removed in the sense that it seemed from the outside. Therefore, the incident that happened on Monday is nothing but the true form of Myanmar’s political landscape.
Several countries including the US, Australia have expressed concern over the coup and appealed to the Myanmar military to respect the law. White House spokeswoman Jane Saki said, “Burma’s military has taken steps to ease the country’s democratic transition, including the arrest of state counselor Aung San Suu Kyi and other civil officials.”
Warning the Myanmar military, the US said, ‘The United States has opposed any attempt to change the results of the recent elections or disrupt Myanmar’s democratic system, and if this coup does not end, those responsible Will takes action against it.
