On the first of February 2021, Burmese Military, the Tatmadaw seized control over Myanmar’s ruling party, the National League for Democracy, which recently had won the general election, capturing President Win Myint and state counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi in the process, and putting the commander in chief of defence services MIN AUNG HLAING in control over Myanmar for a year. With the unreasonable baseless claims imposed by the military to justify their acts, people assembled in a nation-wide demonstration seeking justice in a non-violent movement.

With the sudden mobilization of troops right after the celebration of democracy in the form of general election, the international community instantaneously gazes upon Myanmar, uncertainty escalates amongst people, what is going on in Myanmar, is it really the end of Democracy in Myanmar? Does military takeover constitute as an act of aggression and what would the international community do against it?

To answer those questions, English Development Division of ALSA LC UGM proudly presents "ALSA E-TALKS #4: Myanmar and the Fall of Democracy"

We hope this podcast will be able to give clarity and comprehensive understanding regarding the Actions in Myanmar. Stay safe and take care wherever you are!
