Myanmar: Hundred days after the coup

Tuesday, May 11, 2021 marks 100 days since the military coup in Myanmar, which brought a fragile democracy to its knees. The coup led to a year-long state of emergency, announced on February 1, 2021, when the military arrested the civilian leaders of the national and state governments, most significantly, State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint, and other political leaders in the capital, Naypyidaw. It also detained National League for Democracy (NLD) officials and civil society activists in other parts of Myanmar, and cut telecommunications and the internet.

On April 24, 2021 a special ASEAN Leaders Meeting was called in Jakarta with Senior General Min Aung Hlaing in attendance along with other member- states' heads of government and foreign ministers where the ASEAN chair, the Sultan of Brunei released a five-point consensus in an attempt to restore order in Myanmar. What role can the international community play in order to ensure the return of democratic processes to Myanmar?

To discuss this is a panel of excellent regional experts: Kavi Chongkittavorn, Senior Fellow, Chulalongkorn University’s Institute of Security and International Studies; Patricia Mukhim, Editor, Shillong Times & Dr. Min Zin, Executive Director, Institute for Strategy and Policy, Myanmar.

This webcast will discuss the conflict in Myanmar, the pulse of the protesters’ fight for democracy, the ominous presence of China as well as Russia and multilateral measures that the neighbouring countries including India can take towards restoring democratic processes in Myanmar. It will be moderated by Rajiv Bhatia, Distinguished Fellow, Foreign Policy Studies Programme, Gateway House and former Ambassador to Myanmar.
