Greetings from Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, New Delhi & Gateway House, Mumbai!

 

 

Tuesday, May 11, 2021 marks 100 days since the military coup in Myanmar, which brought a fragile democracy to its knees. The coup led to a year-long state of emergency, announced on February 1, 2021, when the military arrested the civilian leaders of the national and state governments, most significantly, State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint, and other political leaders in the capital, Naypyidaw. It also detained National League for Democracy (NLD) officials and civil society activists in other parts of Myanmar, and cut telecommunications and the internet.

 

 

On April 24, 2021 a special ASEAN Leaders Meeting was called in Jakarta with Senior General Min Aung Hlaing in attendance along with other member- states' heads of government and foreign ministers where the ASEAN chair, the Sultan of Brunei released a five-point consensus in an attempt to restore order in Myanmar. India’s Ministry of External Affairs, welcomed the ASEAN initiative and maintained that diplomatic efforts towards resolving the situation in Myanmar, will be aimed at strengthening these ASEAN efforts. The UN continues to be seized of the Myanmar crisis and is calling for the release of political leaders and restoration of democratic rule.

 

 

To discuss this is a panel of excellent regional experts: 

 

Kavi Chongkittavorn, Senior Fellow, Chulalongkorn University’s Institute of Security and International Studies; 

Patricia Mukhim, Editor, Shillong Times & 

Min Zin, Executive Director, Institute for Strategy and Policy, Myanamar
