Myanmar Junta Spokesman: Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s Father Would Think Her ‘Stupid’ A screengrab from the video: CNN's Clarissa Ward (left) talks to regime spokesperson Brig-Gen Zaw Min Tun (right). 2.6k By The Irrawaddy 5 April 2021 Since seizing power from the country’s democratically elected government in February, Myanmar’s military regime has been struggling on all fronts. Two months on, the men in uniform continue to perform poorly—except when it comes to killing their own citizens, something they have excelled at, having taken the lives of more than 500 people during their crackdowns. Nationwide public resistance to their rule continues unabated. Undeterred by arrests and forced evictions at the hands of the regime, huge numbers of civil servants are still refusing to work for them. Local administrative offices have been set alight.
