The declaration was signed by those parties including the Union Solidarity and Development Party, the Democratic Party of National Politics, the New National Democracy Party, the National Progressive Party and Democratic Party (Myanmar). Acting President Myint Swe signed the order on February 1 declaring a state of emergency in accord with Article 417 of the Constitution of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar in order to resolve alleged voter list fraud and other problems harming State stability. The order said legislative, executive and judicial powers have been transferred to the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services. It also said the military would continue all necessary tasks within the framework of law including the reconstitution of the Union Election Commission, scrutiny of voter lists, Covid- 19 prevention, control and treatment, mitigating of Covid impact on local businesses and the implementation of the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement. https://elevenmyanmar.com/news/23-political-parties-including-usdp-to-cooperate-with- militarys-programmes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Appointed Chair of KSAC Khin Maung Oo already resigned: KySDP Published 5 February 2021 | Ma Khine Khin Maung Oo, appointed as Chair of Kayah State Administrative Council (KSAC), had quit the party right after the 2020 general election, announced Kayah State Democratic Party (KySDP) on February 3. Khin Maung Oo aka Buyai is assigned as the Chair of Kayah State Administrative Council by the present government. He joined the party before the election and competed in the election. He submitted a resignation letter to the party within a week after the election. We want to inform the public that he has been assigned as the Chair of Kayah State Administrative Council is not the decision of the party and he is not a party member anymore. We will not interfere with what he will do in the future and what he will do is not related to the party,” said Khu Theh Reh. Khin Maung Oo aka Buyai is a former officer from Myanmar Air Force and had been assigned as Kayah State Chief Minister in Thein Sein’s government era. Page 2 of 42 He submitted his resignation letter from the USDP as Union Solidarity and Development Party (UDSP) announced they dismissed him from central executive committee as he violated the policies of the party, which can harm unity in the party, according to Saw Hu Hu, former Electric Power Minister for Kayah State, who quitted from his post along with Khin Maung Oo. Khin Maung Oo acted as KySDP candidate in Loikaw Constituency in the 2020 general election and quitted from the party during November last year. https://elevenmyanmar.com/news/appointed-chair-of-ksac-khin-maung-oo-already- resigned-kysdp ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NLD Patron U Win Htein Arrested for Sedition After Condemning Coup By Nyein Nyein | 5 February 2021 Police detained National League for Democracy (NLD) patron U Win Htein on Thursday night on a sedition charge, following the military takeover on Monday. The 80-year-old, who is not in good health, returned from Naypyitaw to his home in Yangon on Thursday afternoon, but was arrested at midnight, according to his family and the party. He was brought back to Naypyitaw and was being held at Oattara Thiri Police Station on Friday morning. Ma Chit Su Win Htein said, “They said he is charged under Article 124(a)” of the penal code. Article 124(a) criminalizes sedition, defined as attempting to excite disaffection against the government. The charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. Shortly after the military seized power on Monday, U Win Htein, a former military captain- turned-politician, condemned the coup as the result of military chief Senior General Min Aung Hlaing’s personal ambition for power. During the pre-dawn coup, the military detained 133 people including government ministers, senior NLD leaders, and a number of lawmakers and political activists, according to a list compiled by the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners. Only 11 were released the next day. State Counselor and NLD chairperson Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, President U Win Myint, union ministers, and state/regional chief ministers and ministers were placed under house arrest. U Win Htein, who spent years in prison after joining the NLD in 1988, and was also a Lower House lawmaker, has long been loyal to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and a key party member. After the 1988 pro-democracy demonstrations, U Win Htein was held in Yangon’s Insein Prison from 1989 until 1995. In 1996 he was sentenced to 14 years’ imprisonment on charges of providing misinformation to foreign journalists, eventually being released from Page 3 of 42 prison in 2010. He won a Lower House seat in the 2012 by-election and represented Mandalay Region’s Meiktila from 2012 to January 2016. U Win Htein on Monday urged the public to “Oppose it [the coup] as much as you can in a nonviolent way, as called for by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. Object through civil disobedience, speak up against their action and do not collaborate with their program.” His video message reflected comments made by State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi in a message to the public that was prepared before the coup and released after her detention. Saying that previous military takeovers had impoverished the country, U Win Htein said the coup would take the country “back to zero”. Since the coup, the Myanmar public has shown its disapproval of the military regime and denounced the coup through social media campaigns and acts of civil disobedience, including banging on pots and pans at 8 p.m. On Thursday, three university students from Mandalay were arrested for protesting against the military coup.

  • Why Myanmar's 2020 Elections Matter
    ISSUE: 2020 No. 126 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 3 November 2020 Why Myanmar’s 2020 Elections Matter Moe Thuzar* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Myanmar’s 8 November general elections are proceeding as planned. Authorities are undeterred by concerns over the surge in Covid-19 cases and the ongoing conflict in several ethnic areas. • The Covid-19 pandemic has produced socio-economic challenges across Myanmar that will linger on long after the 8 November polls. • The ruling National League for Democracy (NLD) is widely expected to be given a second mandate in the polls, though with a smaller majority than in 2015. • In 2020 the NLD faces more critical voters than in 2015. A combination of factors has dented the NLD’s track record over the past five years, notwithstanding a few bright spots in the tackling of high-level corruption. • With a returned mandate, the NLD could institute a ‘second wave’ of reforms focusing on land rights, education, healthcare, and labour law reforms, in addition to socio-economic reforms, over 2021 to 2025. • Young people are showing a heightened interest in politics and national development issues, and are keen to participate. * Moe Thuzar is ISEAS Fellow and co-coordinator of the Myanmar Studies Programme at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2020 No. 126 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION On 1 July 2020, the chair of Myanmar’s Union Election Commission (UEC) announced November 8 as the date for general elections, disseminating the information via its Facebook page. Myanmar thus joined the ranks of countries conducting elections during the Covid- 19 pandemic.

We know that we are the lucky few who have had a chance to earn a high quality education abroad, usually because of our family’s f nancial capital, social capital or a combination of both. The majority of Myanmar youths across the country have not even dreamed of receiving such an opportunity. If we, the lucky few, do not create educational opportunities for Myanmar’s youths, then who will? I set foot on the rewarding journey of helping to shape the future of education in Myanmar soon after I defended my dissertation at Yale University in 2014. Not once have I regretted my choice. This journey would have been very rough had there not been strong f nancial and in-kind supporters. I am truly grateful for the generosity and faith of several foundations, such as Child’s Dream, Brighter Future Myanmar, B.K. Kee Foundation and City Love & Hope Foundation. I am professionally and personally indebted to supporters such as Mr.

Her defense of the Tatmadaw’s actions in Rakhine State was condemned internationally and by many ethnic minority leaders, but she received huge domestic support, mostly among Bamar people. (Page 11) Fighting Between Arakan Army (AA) and Tatmadaw Continues. Reports of both the AA and the Tatmadaw restricting freedom of expression and movement in Rakhine State indicate that the two armies are increasingly trying to limit support or help for the other group.

  • A Political Biography of Aung San Suu Kyi; a Hybrid Politician
    A Political Biography ofA Political Aung San Suu Kyi Politics in Asia This book is the first political biography of Aung San Suu Kyi covering both her years in opposition and all her years in power from 2016 onwards. It offers a new interpretation of Aung San Suu Kyi by presenting a balanced and thorough account of Suu Kyi’s policies. In the last 30 years there has not been a person in global politics who has risen so A Political Biography of high and fallen so low – and so quickly – as Aung San Suu Kyi. Using postcolonial theory and introducing the new concept of ‘a hybrid politician’, this book explains apparent inconsistencies of Suu Kyi’s agenda. It demonstrates that Suu Kyi considers Aung San Suu Kyi herself a democrat and yet, rules autocratically. Immersed in her country’s tradition of policymaking, she has at the same time been influenced by foreign concepts, both A Hybrid Politician Western and Asian. Drawing on first-hand research, including talks with Suu Kyi, conversations with her supporters and rivals, observations of Suu Kyi’s behaviour during intergovernmental talks as well as an extensive number of sources and fieldwork in Myanmar, the author argues that Suu Kyi’s case shows both the strengths and limits of hybridity. This brings Suu Kyi priceless political assets such as visibility, recognition and support while proving that such a model of leadership has its restrictions. A timely biography of the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate as she appears at the International Court of Justice to defend her country against charges of genocide committed against the Rohingya Muslim minority, this book will be of interest to students and researchers of Myanmar politics, Southeast Asian politics, Asian politics, Political Science more generally, Postcolonial Studies, Cultural Studies and Leadership Studies.
