The military’s coup against Aung San Suu Kyi’s government has knee-capped Myanmar’s democratic transition and undercut its push to attract more foreign investment.
In the first coup since 1962, Myanmar's military Monday detained Aung San Suu Kyi and others in early morning raids and announced a state of emergency for a year.
Suu Kyi, President Win Myint and other leaders were detained by Myanmar’s army, Myo Nyunt, a spokesman for the ruling National League for Democracy, said.
As Myanmar heads towards forming a new government, experts say India needs to ensure the South Asian nation maintains a balance between New Delhi and Beijing.
Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy is on course to win about 390 seats to the national assembly, according to Myo Nyunt, a member of the party’s chief executive committee.
India has informed Myanmar that it has committed to humanitarian efforts in both Myanmar & Bangladesh to facilitate early return of displaced Rohingyas.
Opposition parties assert that supporters fail to follow social distancing measures during campaigns. But, the ruling NLD says a delay in holding the vote can lead to political instability.

Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
