Military stages coup in (Burma) Myanmar, detains Suu Kyi

Myanmar's military staged a coup Monday and detained senior politicians including Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi — a sharp reversal of the significant, if uneven, progress toward democracy the Southeast Asian nation has made following five decades of military rule.

An announcement read on military-owned Myawaddy TV said Commander-in-Chief Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing would be in charge of the country for one year. It said the seizure was necessary because the government had not acted on the military's claims of fraud in November's elections — in which Suu Kyi's ruling party won a majority of the parliamentary seats up for grabs — and because it allowed the election to go ahead despite the coronavirus pandemic.

  3. Our little China girl posted a new video. I watched it at lunch. There seemed to be a reference that this was an arrest dealing with the current situation here in America with election interference. Also implied Wall Street is moving money because their assets are about to get frozen as we have heard. Who knows though. I wish she had subtitles.
