Coup in Myanmar
People in Myanmar woke up February 1 to see the country’s hybrid democracy suffer a body blow with the generals taking over the administration in a coup. The citizens had learnt to live with military rule for decades, but they thought it was a thing of the past after a diluted form of democracy was introduced and elections were held in 2015. But, military dictatorship is back again with the junta declaring a state of emergency for one year after detaining the State Counsellor and de facto ruler Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint and other high ranking leaders of the National League for Democracy (NLD) headed by Suu Kyi.
