The Downfall of Democracy in Myanmar.
Manage episode 284031601 series 2571140
In early 2021, after declaring the 2020 election a fraud, armed men rolled into the capital with the intent of capturing members of the government. No, we're not referring to the United States, but to Myanmar. On February 1, the military in Myanmar staged a coup d'état. Why? The associated Union Solidarity & Development Party took a thumping in the 2020 elections. The military quickly called the election a fraud, challenged it in court, and then staged a coup. But the very nature of democracy in Myanmar was meant to serve the interests of the military. Why a coup? Why now? And what's next?
In this episode of GDP we're joined by Patrick Balazo, who was a Killam Scholar, and recipient of the Canada Graduate Scholarship in honour of Nelson Mandela. Patrick worked for a Burmese human rights organization in Thailand, and is an expert on statelessness and conflict.
