Myanmar Army Chief Says Coup was 'Inevitable'
2021-02-03
Possibly more than you want to know, dear Reader.
[AnNahar] The military ouster of Aung San Suu Kyi's government in Myanmar was "inevitable," army chief General Min Aung Hlaing said Tuesday, as Washington formally designated the takeover as a coup.

Myanmar's powerful military stunned the nation Monday when it detained Suu Kyi and other National League for Democracy (NLD) party leaders in pre-dawn raids ahead of a scheduled resumption of parliament.

General Min Aung Hlaing was given "legislative, judicial and executive powers", effectively returning Myanmar to military rule after a 10-year experiment with democracy.

#1  Mayhap we shall see a greater culling of the islamist Rogingyas? Only a military junta, untrammeled by useless democratic imperatives to uphold and humanist conventions to play to, can wipe them out. Or reduce them to manageable numbers.
