still some armies living in lalaland

Mian Nawaz Sharif says hi.

Electoral dispute should be solved in Constitution Court. Look like Myanmar hasnt made Constitution Court yet. This create some opportunity from Military to use the hole in the system to gain power again.

Civil Society in Myanmar is also not yet mature. In Indonesia there are many respectable survey companies who conduct Quick Counts that make election result can be seen within hours and it also prevent possible election fraud. Not to mention organization who set up election comes from independent organisation (KPU), democratic voluntarily villages governing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rukun_Tetangga) and local governments (who are also part of the counting process are lead by different political parties), so it will be difficult to cheat election.

Myanmar presence in ASEAN is extremely out of place. They deserve to get kicked out.

Fcuk the people of Myanmar

Well their leaders or Army chiefs might be corrupt and butchers, but the people generally are not complicit in crime. That was my point.

How does this affect the possibility of a war with Bangladesh?

Does not directly impact relations with BD but it increases the possibility of the West forcing repatriation of Rohingyas.

Myanmar Military Declares 1-Year Emergency, Suu Kyi Detained: Reports

Suu Kyi, Myanmar's de facto leader, was detained in the early hours along with the president and other top politicians after weeks of tensions with the military over the allegations of vote-rigging.

Myanmar military declares one year emergency after detaining Aung San Suu Kyi.

Yangon, Myanmar:

Myanmar's military declared a one-year state of emergency on Monday, handing power to a former general after arresting civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other senior officials.
An announcement read out on military-owned Myawaddy TV said the move was needed to preserve the "stability" of the state, accusing the country's election commission of failing to address "huge irregularities" in a November election.

Suu Kyi, Myanmar's de facto leader, was detained in the early hours along with the president and other top politicians after weeks of tensions with the military over the allegations of vote-rigging.

"The UEC (election commission) failed to solve huge voter lists irregularities in the multiparty general election which was held on November 8th 2020," said the statement signed by the new acting president Myint Swe, a former general who had been vice-president.

The statement accused "other party organisations" of "harming the stability of the state".

"As the situation must be resolved according to the law, a state of emergency is declared."
The statement said responsibility for "legislation, administration and judiciary" had been handed over to military commander-in-chief Min Aung Hlaing.

Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other senior figures from the governing party were detained in a series of early morning raids, the spokesman for the governing National League for Democracy said on Monday, following days of escalating tension between her civilian government and the country’s military fulled talk of a coup.

Spokesman Myo Nyunt told Reuters news agency that Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint and other leaders had been “taken” in the early hours of the morning.

“I want to tell our people not to respond rashly and I want them to act according to the law,” he said.

Myo Nyunt later told AFP news agency that given the situation, “we have to assume that the military is staging a coup.”

Myanmar’s Parliament, where the military is given a quarter of seats and also has proxy, the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), was due to sit in the country’s capital Naypyitaw from Monday.

“It does feel like this is the beginning of a military takeover,” Al Jazeera’s Ali Fowle told Al Jazeera from Yangon, noting that politicians from states and regions, as well as prominent political activists had also been detained. Mobile and phone networks were seeing disruption, while state media was also reported to be off-air.

Questioning election

The NLD won November’s elections by a landslide, but the military has been waging a months-long campaign to discredit the outcome, despite no firm evidence of wrongdoing.


Last week, the situation escalated when military leader Min Aung Hlaing threatened to abolish the constitution. Two days later, the military backtracked saying media had taken Min Aung Hlaing’s comments out of context.

“The Tatmadaw will defend the 2008 Constitution and only act within the boundary of existing laws,” it said on Saturday.

Across Yangon, the country’s biggest city and commercial capital, many people had begun flying the NLD’s red flag in solidarity with the governing party, while banners had also been erected in the streets declaring support for the elected government.

“It’s at a critical juncture,” said Damien Kingsbury, a Myanmar expert at Deakin University in Australia. “It’s either the end of military involvement in Myanmar politics or it’s a coup. There’s no middle ground on this. This is crunch time.”

Myanmar, once a British colony, was led by the military for decades before it began a transition to democracy in 2008.

Aung San Suu Kyi is the only daughter of national independence hero Aung San, and spent years under the house arrest during the military regime.

Lol now she's going to be given the "exaggerated" treatment the military gave minorities in Burma when she was asked about how she backs them with the crimes they were carrying out e.g. mass rape, burning of villages etc.
Hopefully they feed her well, one boot in the teeth in the morning, two boots in the teeth for lunch and a final three boots in the teeth for dinner.
Oh don't look to the West either Aung, you long derided them for tarnishing the image of your country, now they will watch from afar.

Myanmar's leader Aung San Suu Kyi is detained in a military coup

Myanmar's military has detained the country's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi and the country's president in a coup staged hours before a new parliament was due to be sworn in.

Check out the top rated comments, and this from a right wing paper. Poor super duper noble prize winner. There's no one coming to her aid this time.
She's lucky she is not young, otherwise the Burmese military would have given her the same "exaggerated" reports of sexual violence they give to minority women.
Karma at play folks, nothing to see. Time to move on.

Someone supported Suu Kyi’s statement

 

[W.11]

Not at all. Pakistan is probably the most free state in South Asia. It's democracy has been anchored into the state institutions from the supreme Court down to the freest Media in the world...
