      Myanmar military seize power in bloodless coup, arrests Aung San Suu Kyi

      Myanmar military seize power in bloodless coup, arrests Aung San Suu Kyi

      Myanmar military has taken control of the country after staging a bloodless coup.

      The country’s senior politicians including Aung San Suu Kyi had also been arrested by the army during predawn raids on Monday.

      Canada: 17-year-old wanted for killing Ghanaian immigrant in shooting

      Over 500 axed from Ghana’s security services after recruitment audit

      ADVERTISEMENT

      Military-owned Myawaddy TV made the announcement and cited a section of the military-drafted constitution that allows the military to take control in times of national emergency.

      ADVERTISEMENT

      It said the reason for takeover was in part due to the government’s failure to act on the military’s claims of voter fraud in last November’s election and its failure to postpone the election because of the coronavirus crisis.

      The announcement follows days of concern about the threat of a military coup and comes on the morning the country’s new Parliament session was to begin.

      Communication blackout

      The detention of the politicians and cuts in communication services on Monday were the first signals that plans to seize power were in motion. Phone and internet access to Naypyitaw was lost and Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy party could not be reached.

      The Irrawaddy, an established online news service, reported that Suu Kyi, who as state counsellor is the nation’s top leader, and the country’s president, Win Myint, were both detained in the pre-dawn hours.

      The news service cited Myo Nyunt, a spokesman for the NLD.

      Its report said that the party’s Central Executive Committee members, lawmakers and regional Cabinet members had also been taken into custody.

      International concern

      The US, Australia and others issued statements expressing concern reports and urging Myanmar’s military to respect the rule of law.

      “The United States is alarmed by reports that the Burmese military has taken steps to undermine the country’s democratic transition, including the arrest of State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi and other civilian officials in Burma,” White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said in a statement from Washington.

      She said President Joe Biden had been briefed on the reported developments.

      “The United States opposes any attempt to alter the outcome of recent elections or impede Myanmar’s democratic transition, and will take action against those responsible if these steps are not reversed,” the statement said. Burma is the former name of Myanmar.

      Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne called for the release of Suu Kyi and others reported to be detained.

      “We strongly support the peaceful reconvening of the National Assembly, consistent with the results of the November 2020 general election,” she said.

      Parliament session

      Myanmar lawmakers were to gather Monday in the capital Naypyitaw for the first session of Parliament since last year’s election.

      The 75-year-old Suu Kyi is by far the country’s most dominant politician, and became the country’s leader after leading a decades-long nonviolent struggle against military rule.

      Suu Kyi’s party captured 396 out of 476 seats in the combined lower and upper houses of Parliament in the November polls, but the military holds 25% of the total seats under the 2008 military-drafted constitution and several key ministerial positions are also reserved for military appointees.

      The military, known as the Tatmadaw, charged that there was massive voting fraud in the election, though it has failed to provide proof.

      The state Union Election Commission last week rejected its allegations.

      Amid the bickering over the allegations, the military last Tuesday ramped up political tension when a spokesman at its weekly news conference, responding to a reporter’s question, declined to rule out the possibility of a coup.

      Military coup

      Maj. Gen. Zaw Min Tun elaborated by saying the military would “follow the laws in accordance with the constitution.”

      Using similar language, Commander-in-Chief Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing told senior officers in a speech Wednesday that the constitution could be revoked if the laws were not being properly enforced. Adding to the concern was the unusual deployment of armored vehicles in the streets of several large cities.

      On Saturday, however, the military denied it had threatened a coup, accusing unnamed organisations and media of misrepresenting its position and taking the general’s words out of context.

      On Sunday, it reiterated its denial, this time blaming unspecified foreign embassies of misinterpreting the military’s position and calling on them “not to make unwarranted assumptions about the situation.”
