Yangon: Imprisoned by the military, Myanmar leader who was detained by Aung San Suu Kyi was isolated from young protesters now forge their own struggle for democracy outside his shadow.
The week marked six months since the national league government for democracy (NLD) was overthrown, guiding mass decay and military crackdown which had killed nearly 1,000 people.
Suu Kyi remained a regular respected figure for her chaanized opposition to the previous Junta, despite her international reputation suffered after she ruled in the agreement to share power with the generals.
But for many who are still struggling, the revolution must go further than the Nobel Laureate movement led a few decades ago, and permanently eradicating the dominance of the country’s military and economy.
“We strike not because of NLD, but because we don’t want the next generation to live under the military like we did,” a 33-year-old doctor who was fired after joining AFP.
Flash Mob Roblies held on the social media and the pro-democracy show of the Myanmar activist experts have more similarities with a contemporaries in Hong Kong and Thailand than the elderly veterans of their own political struggle.
Suu Kyi still has a much sense of respect and love in Myanmar, said Manny Maung, a researcher at Human Rights Watch, “but more as a historical figure.” The democratic campaign “no longer wants an icon”, he added.
“They have a far more decentralized approach to power and want to see the emergence of diverse political forces.” Some have also avoided nir-violent core principles from Suu Kyi.
Hundreds of people are believed to have run in forest areas to receive combat training from veteran rebel groups, with the hope of returning to fight the military.
Urban militants have also clashed with Junta troops, with the military reported two officers killed in battle weapons with local groups in downtown Mandalay last month.
Suu Kyi has mostly disappeared from a view, only seen in a photo of the state of the state of the naked courtroom that accommodates her trial and rely on her lawyer to deliver a message to the outside world.
Far from his long spell under the arrest of the house during the last period of military government, where he sometimes appeared before thousands of people gathered on the other side of his garden fence at Yangon.
From the streets, the shadow of the “national unity government” parliamentary members who were overthrown from the Suu Kyi party worked to gather international support and opposed directly to the junta without him.
But in the ranks is “strong division between old guards who are loyal to Suu Kyi and progressive wings who want to justify the update,” said Maung Afp.
The group recently invited the country’s Rohingya community to join the war against Junta, promising to end discriminatory policies against minorities without citizenship.
The use of the word “Rohingya” is the new Suu Kyi government even refused to use the term.
His refusal to condemn 2017’s brutal oppression which sent 750,000 Rohingya fled to Bangladesh to strongly damage his reputation abroad, especially after he traveled to the Hague to maintain allegations of genocide.
The coup has shown the world that Myanmar’s battle for democracy is more complex than the previous era when releasing Suu Kyi from the arrest of houses is considered “solution,” Richard Horsey said from the international crisis group.
However, he added that Suu Kyi remained a “potentially strong political power” in Myanmar.
People throughout the country paid respect to him on his 76th birthday in June wearing flowers in their hair Sukatur Suu Kyi was seen since he began campaigning for democracy in the 1980s.
The regime has flattened a number of charges against the detained leaders who can see it imprisoned more than a decade if punished with everything.
For those who are still free to fight, there is no room for the final compromise of Suu Kyi with the generals.
“It won’t work if we discuss with them,” said the Storage of the Flash Gang Sporadis still sprung up in Yangon.
“They are always armed and oppressing people.
People hope to overthrow their military dictatorship.”
