In the numerous townships affected by the new measures, the citizens of Myanmar will be tried for various charges from treason to spreading fake news. As announced by state-controlled media, the junta will not hear any appeals, except in cases involving the death penalty. This new measure by the military government suggests an increasingly concerted effort to suppress resistance in regions where protests have taken place since a military coup occurred two years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Such a measure comes after Myanmar&#8217;s military government announced the extension of a two-year state of emergency on February 1, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/politics-myanmar-government-min-aung-hlaing-a8feaa2812b09a95533efc9252194313\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Associated Press<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> adds. This decision delays their plans for an August election, which the government has justified as necessary to maintain peace and stability in the country. The emergency will be extended for another six months to prepare for peaceful and fair elections due to what the junta describes as ongoing abnormal circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Myanmar has a long history of military rule, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2021\/2\/1\/myanmar-military-rule-to-fragile-democracy\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Al Jazeera<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explains. Armed forces controlled the country until a fragile democracy was briefly established just over 10 years ago. Myanmar first achieved independence in 1948 after long struggles with Great Britain and Japan. Unfortunately, democracy did not last long; in 1962, the military staged a coup and took control leading to economic stagnation and suppression of opposition parties. In 1977, Aung San, who helped lead the country to independence, was assassinated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">His daughter, Aung San Suu Kyi, founded the National League for Democracy (NLD), the leading party behind the nation\u2019s long and winding path to democracy. In 1988, pro-democracy protests were met with a brutal military crackdown. Amid international pressures, the military government held an election in which the NLD won in a landslide, but the military refused to hand over power. Aung San Suu Kyi has been arrested multiple times and supporters were beaten to death in 2003. After years of protests and the Cyclone Nargis disaster, democratization began with a controversial constitutional referendum in 2008. In 2015, the NLD finally gained power with Aung San Suu Kyi as state counselor, although the military continued to play a prominent role in politics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Al Jazeera details that after the NLD&#8217;s resounding victory in the 2020 election where they garnered even more votes than in the 2015 election, the military&#8217;s proxy party, the USDP, demanded a rerun and requested military assistance to ensure fairness, citing alleged irregularities. While an independent election commission rejected these claims of voter fraud, on February 1, 2021, the military imposed a state of emergency and transferred power to military chief Min Aung Hlaing, best known for his staunch anti-democratic stances. This came after Aung San Suu Kyi and other top government officials were arrested in early morning raids.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the immediate aftermath of the coup, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/politics-myanmar-government-military-and-defense-aung-san-suu-kyi-e5416c7c794ca3c263f0b22d3fde2c24\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Associated P<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ress<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reports how the ouster of the elected government provoked widespread protests and civil disobedience. As time passed, the military used violence to suppress any displays of opposition. Several governments rejected the army&#8217;s leadership and imposed sanctions, restricting some financial flows. However, Myanmar&#8217;s neighbors in Southeast Asia and its most powerful ally, China, hesitated to take similar actions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since the military takeover, they have employed increasingly harsh tactics, including the first executions in 30 years, to suppress dissent. The economy has severely declined, due to both the instability of the government and the various restrictions imposed by other nations. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/will-2023-be-the-decisive-year-in-myanmars-civil-war\/a-64573032#:~:text=Thousands%20dead%20and%20at%20least,and%20kidnappings%20throughout%20the%20country.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deutsche W<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">elle <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">estimates that thousands have died and over a million have been displaced.

The U.S. has made clear that it will continue to deny the regime international credibility. The United Nations Security Council had passed a resolution calling for an end to the violence, and additionally, the release of all political prisoners. For now, the rest of the world waits with bated breath and hopes for an end to this violent civil conflict.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Image courtesy of<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Protest_in_Myanmar_against_Military_Coup_14-Feb-2021_11.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\">\u00a0<em>Wikimedia Commons<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On February 4, the military junta in charge of Myanmar imposed martial law in several strongholds of anti-military resistance, Al Jazeera reports.
