Blood and sweat’: Myanmar resistance fights to overturn military coup. Three years after the generals’ power grab, anti-coup fighters say they want them out of Myanmar’s politics.

February 1, 2021, a military coup in Myanmar sparked widespread nonviolent protests that quickly turned into an armed uprising after the military responded with brutal force.

Ethnic armed organisations fighting for autonomy along the country’s borders also joined the anti-coup groups in a war, which has since reached an unprecedented scale in Myanmar’s history.

Resistance forces share not only a common enemy but also a desire to overturn Myanmar’s military-dominated political system and establish a federal democracy that grants the right to self-determination for its ethnic minorities.

Suu Kyi isolated in rat-infested prison 3 years.

Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's first civilian leader in over 50 years, was often simply called "The Lady" after the military confined her to home for 15 years. 

BANGKOK -- Thursday marks the third anniversary of Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing's unconsolidated takeover of Myanmar, which removed from power his perceived nemesis, State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi, the elected head of govt and most unifying political figure in the country's history.

After 1,095 days, Suu Kyi remains in solitary confinement in a prison on the southwestern edge of Naypyitaw, the capital and military central command. Her only respite was a short period last year during which she met Thailand's former foreign minister, Don Pramudwinai, and also had her sentence reduced from 33 to 27 years.
