After three months of unyielding opposition to the military’s Feb. 1 coup, Myanmar is now a country in revolt.
The country, which has experienced more than its share of uprisings and revolutions including the “’88 Pro-Democracy Uprising” in 1988 and the “Saffron Revolution” led by Buddhist monks in 2007, not to mention its century-long independence struggle ending in 1948 is now witnessing a “Spring Revolution”. These uprisings have occurred periodically in reaction to oppressive military dictatorships and the military-created authoritarianism that has taken root in the country over the past 60 years.
