Myanmar, Myanmar's military

Aung San Suu Kyi’s party is also included in these, Emergency is still in force in Myanmar

40 parties, including the National League for Democratic (NLD) party founded by Aung San Suu Kyi, have been banned by Myanmar’s military government junta. According to the Sena, these parties failed to register in accordance with the new electoral law. 63 parties have registered in the nation at the local or national level, according to state-run television station Myawadi TV on Tuesday night. At the same time, about 40 parties were dissolved because they failed to register for the election by the deadline.

Following the dissolution of the parties, the UN demanded that democracy be restored in Myanmar. The spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Stephane Dujarric, insisted on Aung San Suu Kyi’s release on Tuesday. He stated, “We want to see democracy return to Myanmar.” We want Aung San Suu Kyi and others released. We will keep working in this direction.

At the annual parade on March 27, military chief General Min Aung Hlaing announced early elections. But he didn’t reveal the dates during this time. Haling had vowed to use all available means to retaliate against the nation’s opponents. He asked for assistance from the international community in bringing democracy back to the nation. The army had earlier in the month announced that the 2 year emergency would be extended by another 6 months. The August election was also delayed in conjunction with this.

Aung San’s party bid – public with us

The party won’t ever register at a time when the majority of our leaders are either in jail or engaged in the revolution, according to Tun Mint, a senior leader in Aung San’s party NLD. The fact that the army broke up our party is irrelevant. The public is behind us, and we will keep fighting. However, the National Unity Government (NUG), which the army had designated as a terrorist organization, asserted that the military had no right to hold rigged elections.

International Crisis Group said – elections are dangerous for the country

The military government in Myanmar is getting ready for the general election, according to Richard Horsey, an advisor to the International Crisis Group. These might end up being harmful to the nation. The military’s rule has angered the populace of the nation. She is against the elections being held to support the military government even more. If elections are forced upon them in such a situation, it will result in the bloodiest conflict ever in Myanmar.

The army did a coup 2 years ago

On February 1, 2021, there was a coup by the Myanmari army. Aung San Suu Kyi, a well-known leader and state counselor, as well as President Win Myint were among the many leaders who were detained. General Min Aung Hlaing, the head of the armed forces, subsequently proclaimed himself the nation’s prime minister. A two-year emergency had been declared by the army.

There was a difference of opinion between the government and the army after the elections.

In reality, Myanmar held its general elections in November 2020. In both houses, Aung San Suu Kyi’s party won 396 of these seats. However, the opposition Union Solidarity and Development Party only received 33 seats in both houses. The military supported this party. The army raised concerns about the results after they were announced. Suu Kyi’s party was charged with election rigging by the army. Only after the election results, when the army had staged a coup, did disagreements between the government and the army arise.

The BBC reported that the army in Myanmar has killed 2600 people since the coup in the year 2021. However, this is only official information. The actual number of fatalities may be ten times higher. Additionally, Myanmar regularly sentences opponents to death.

The Irrawaddy, a media outlet in Myanmar, reports that the death sentence was executed in July of last year, following a 40-year delay. The National League for Democracy lawmaker Phyo Jeya Thaw, activist Jimmy, and two other people were hanged by the government. About 100 people are believed to have received the death penalty from the Myanmar army each year.
