Military Seizes Power in Myanmar
Yangon, March 4 (AFP/APP): Myanmar’s military seized power on February 1, arresting the country’s democratically elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
This sparks a massive month-long street movement with dozens killed Wednesday in the deadliest day of the junta’s crackdown on protests.
A recap of events: – Back to the old days – The generals stage a coup on February 1, detaining Nobel peace laureate Suu Kyi and her top allies in pre-dawn raids. It ends Myanmar’s decade-long experiment with democracy after close to half a century of military rule.
The generals claim fraud in November’s elections, which Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) party won by a landslide.
