“The seizure of power lasted a year, as announced by the military. It will be the isolation of foreign partners outside of China Destroy the commercial interests of the military. It also sparked opposition from millions of people who elected Suu Kyi and the NLD as their government for another term. ”

Phil Robertson of Human Rights Watch noted that by doing so, Myanmar is in danger of becoming an “international sanctioned state” again, while upsetting the people of the country.
“I don’t think the people of Myanmar accept this, but favorably,” he added. “They don’t want to go back and have a future under the soldiers again. They see Suu Kyi as a fortress against the return of military power.”
He believes there is still hope that the political situation in Myanmar will be resolved through negotiations, but “if we start to see that there is a big protest, it will happen.” Then we will enter a great crisis. ”
