YANGON, Feb 4 ― Clanging cymbals and banging pots, Yangon residents unhappy with a putsch that ousted Myanmar's leader Aung San Suu Kyi have begun kicking up a nightly fracas to chase out “evil spirits” ― in this case, the military. Suu Kyi and other top civilian leaders were detained in dawn raids on Monday.
