What is the capacity of suu power?
Burmese tactics of Rohingyas and the violent tactics of the Rohingyas from Myanmar’s Rakhine state have raised a storm of condemnation against Aung San Suu Kyi, the country’s Nobel laureate, and Facto leader. He supported the government’s legal steps against terrorism. It is also reported that Suu Kyi will not participate in the debate on the UN General Assembly session next week; But what is the capacity of Suu Kyi in the country?
Aung San Suu is the official post of ‘foreign adviser’ He created this verse, focusing on a special section of the Constitution; The section that was originally targeted; Foreign husbands or foreigners can not be president of the country.
Suu Kyi, the most popular politician in Myanmar, and who led the National League for Democracy (NLD) landslide in the country’s national election in 2015. The cabinet and his team took the most important decision. Suu Kyi is also in charge of the Foreign Minister.
The country’s constitution was drafted during the previous military government. This military government was ruling in power since 1962. This constitution was approved in 2008 by an incredible referendum. At that time the Suu Kyi or her party NLD did not have any support in this constitutional amendment.
Its main purpose was to make the plan of the declared ‘development chain democracy’ declared by the army. Under this amendment to the Constitution, a quarter of the seats are kept under the control of the army. The army has continued to control the three ministries including home, defense, and border. This means that the army has control over the country’s police.
Among the 11 seats in the strong National Defense and Security Council, there are also six nominated members of the army. The council has the power to cancel the democratic government.
Former military officials have occupied many top positions. The army also has business interests. In the Defense sector, 14 percent more expensive than the health and education sector combined budget. For more than 20 years, the army and Suu Kyi were very intensely contradictory. Suu Kyi was under house arrest for 15 years.
After the election, they find ways to work together. His support was public. Generals had real power. There is a disagreement with the army of Suu Kyi as much as the constitutional amendment. In the last 70 years, with the government forces of Myanmar, there are differences with the army on peace talks with different ethnic armed groups on the border.
But they agreed on the need for economic reform, development, and stability. The popular mantra of Suu Kyi is the ‘rule of law’. At the same time, social tensions are also increasing due to rapid change in the country.
Increasing conflicts.
But Shiki will be very careful on the Rohingya issue. For the Rohingyas, the people’s sympathy of the country is marginalized. Most Burmese people also think that the Rohingyas have the government’s view of not being a citizen of Myanmar. Even though many Rohingyas live in the country for a few generations, many people consider them as illegal Bangladeshi immigrants.
This conflict has increased greatly after the attacks by the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) rebels in October of last year and police post in August.
Local Buddhists in Rakhine state are more hostile. Buddhists have claimed that the Rohingyas as Bengali have been fighting their Rohingyas for decades.
Many Buddhist beliefs of Rakhine, they will eventually become the minority. Even their identity may become extinct, they are also afraid. Rakhine Nationalist Party ANP has the majority in the local legislative assembly. Police also have strong sympathy for Buddhists. Nearly half of the police officers of Rakhine Buddhists
But the army with the real power of the Rakhine state of the northern border with Bangladesh. Access to this state is very limited and regulated.
Chief of the army’s powerful army General Min Aung Holding made it clear that he does not have any sympathy for the Rohingyas.
What is the position of the media?
He said the ongoing clearance operation is being run to end a problem before 1942. During that time, the war between the Japanese and British forces ended after the bitter communal conflict between Rohingya and Rakhine Buddhists.
The army has said that Rakhine is currently fighting against terrorist activities under external funding. With the view of the army, Rakhine’s view of most people is similar. It is believed that the ‘Four Cutts’ technique used in conflict areas is being applied.
Through this strategy, the army destroys any community supporting the rebels. But in this case, the media also act as a factor. Myanmar has had some major changes in the past five years. In this, the dramatic growth of new independent media, mobile phones, and the internet have happened. This development has taken place in a country that probably was a decade ago.
Ethical authority?
But what is happening inside Bangladesh or what the Rohingyas suffer few media shows. Most of the media of Myanmar gave importance to the Buddhists and the displacement of Hindus in Rakhine. Those numbers are few. Social media has the huge popularity to spread hatred and misleading information very quickly.
So, the interests of the Rakhine state have little power. And speaking of support to the Rohingyas, it is certain that Buddhist nationalists will be in the face of danger and persecution. (Collapsed).
