The Rise and Fall of Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi Explained | NowThis World

A non-violent freedom fighter? A war crimes apologist? Or is she something in between? Aung San Suu Kyi’s decades-long, non-violent struggle for democracy made her a hero around the world. But once appointed to office, many say her leadership, has been disappointing.

Born on June 19th, 1945, in what was then Rangoon, Burma, Aung San Suu Kyi was destined to be defiant from the start.
Her father was none other than Aung San -- the former military general who negotiated Burma’s independence from the British in 1947. He became known as a national hero, and the founder of modern-day Myanmar, which was then known as Burma.
But in 1947, when Suu Kyi was just 2 years old, everything changed. Her father was assassinated by a rival politician.
She went on to graduate from high school in 1964, and then studied with the global elite at Oxford University. There she met her to-be husband. Years later they settled in the United Kingdom, where they had two sons.
During this time, Suu Kyi continued to watch as her country was sinking further into dictatorship.
After nationwide protests against the one-party rule and the military dictatorship culminated in what later became known as the 8/8/88 Uprising protesters were in search of a leader. They looked to the then 43-year-old Suu Kyi to fill the shoes of her father -- as a fighter for Burmese democracy.
And that’s exactly what she did.
But what was her journey to leadership and what would she do once she achieved her goal? And what would her leadership mean for the Rohingya in Rakhine state and the alleged ethnic cleansing was taking place in Myanmar?

    @Jacqueles Twali Although western countries' governments & HRW organizations are pushing her for her acknowledgement & announcement for Myanmar military brutal crackdown in Rakhine state, the fact that she did not voice any blaming words towards Myanmar military's action in Rakhine state although she doesn't like nor approve the way Myanmar military handled is that she is infect trying to push for very difficult obhective of stopping the decades-long civil war with many ethnic groups and to push for nation-wide peace process which is vital for the country's future. But much of the world doesn't know that she and elected government president has no authority to command Myanmar military which is specifically granted special permission and separate power organization under 2008 Constitution. In order for her to stop the suffering of people from civil wars through out the country, she has no choice but to negotiate with the military leader which is standing as separate power organization apart from president & parliment to stop fighting with ethnic armed groups. If she somehow blame separate entity military organization, the country reconciloation & peace process will more hinder which is currently at road blocked with many of the ethnic states strongly distrust the military which is not under the control of central quasi-democracy government. Therefore, instead of blaming & pointing fingers as western countries' desire, she has chosen to sacrifice her name, fame & herself for her country's peaceful future by trying to reconcile the armed conflict between the country's out-of-contol military organization and ethnic groups, and to heed for her words for peace process. The actual facts that most of the people do not know: 1. Although Myanmar is transitioned to democracy, the 2008 constitution was specially prepared by previous military dictator regime which allows military to stand as separate organization not to be commanded by country president. Only the senior general can control and command the military. 2. Military general will directly appoint 25% of the seats in all parliments of Myanmar (both central and all states/regional parliments); not by people vote. 3. If elected government wants to change the law, mostly it needs >75% of vote in parliment so basically the elected government cannot change the laws or do anything without military approval. 4. The 2008 Constitution allows military General not only control the military itself but also all the armed forces of Myanmar; therefore the country's police force is under the direct authority of the Military; not by the president.

    As someone who lived in Myanmar, this video misses a few key points about the state of Burmese politics and the 2008 constitution. While the military is guaranteed 25% of seats in parliament by the constitution, it also retained control of the ministries of home affairs, defense, and border affairs. This means they control both the police and the military. Aung San Suu Kyi has little to no influence over those forces. The state of Rakhine is also one of the few in Myanmar that is not controlled by Aung San Suu Kyi’s party so she holds no influence over political or military matters in that state. It is easy to say that she is in the wrong, but in reality, what can she really do? Yes, she could (and probably should) speak out about the atrocities in Rakhine when she is abroad, but there is almost nothing she can do domestically. I am not saying she is innocent but the world has glossed over the current complexities of Myanmar’s government to find her as the face of the genocide.

The people of Myanmar are still in the grasp of the military regime till this day. It’s only a matter of time till they retake control and commit more atrocities.

    This kind of video is precisely why I tend to avoid western (especially american) sources on international matters. As many have pointed out in the comments, she never really had too much power to begin with. Myanmar was more of an experimental democracy rather than a real functioning democratic state. Military still controls at least 25% of the seats (as part of a constitutional law) and have entire control over several factions of the government, including internal security. The video falls on its face when dealing with the complexity of the issue. As usual, everything is analyzed and understood through the highly biased lens of american ideology and it just ends up vomiting a useless speech that doesn't really gets us any closer to understanding the situation.

    “…. Dr Matthew Raphael Johnson explains what is really happening in Burma/Myanmar and why it is relevant to us. On February 1, the Burmese military took over the country, nullifying the results of a fraudulent election from November which had installed liberal, color revolutionary, media darling Aung San Suu Kyi. From a westernized, very wealthy family, Kyi was educated in the west and serves the CIA and the Soros-banker fronts explicitly. In the aftermath of the November 8 elections, the color revolutionaries allegedly won 396 out of 476 seats in parliament, cutting the military-based parties from political relevance. The military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) insists that the CIA and its local agents rigged the elections, citing 10.5 million cases of irregularities. These have led to mass protests in all major states and cities of the country. The purpose of this fraudulent election is to enshrine liberalism over the political life of the country, which is a way to pull Burma out of its pro-China policy. More broadly, the point is to break the development of the New Silk Road project, a multi-trillion dollar, anti-liberal infrastructure project unifying the Eurasian plain against the west. If liberalism has the IMF, the WTO and Davos as its institutional representatives, the anti-liberal movement has the New Silk Road. The coup against liberalism in Burma has immense geopolitical consequences few realize…..”

    The problem with the reporting of Suu Kyi is that people assume that the NLD has the power to do what it wants. They cannot. The military would overthrow them at a seconds notice if given the opportunity. The country’s security forces are therefore free to conduct a campaign to deliberately undermine her on the world stage by imprisoning journalists and conducting a major genocide - or at least allowing paramilitary groups to. I’m not sure if - given she has no real power to stop it - it is worth praising her for bringing democracy to Myanmar and I’m certainly not sure that remaining silent and not taking a stand and bidding her time is the right decision, but I do believe that she has been badly misunderstood and the calls to strip her of her Noble Peace Prize are misguided and will give the military what it wants, her government damage.

( factual record!! thanks me later) the population of those people wasn't that great that time. so the growth of those people must be due to the rapid child births and plus, across the border, huge amount of people from bangaladesh illegally came into myanmar many times and see? now they are asking for their own land. that's what happen when we just ignored for years, their population is unbelievable now.

    As mentioned in this video multiple times, she was given unimaginable choices throughout her political career, and the Rohingya crisis was one of them. She never held the power to command the military, but she took the blame because she was the leader of the government at the time on paper. And as always, she made the difficult decision to not go up against the military generals which would have resulted in another coup. She chose to keep one hand on the wheel to steer instead of letting go of both hands. If you think this is some bs, just look at what happened on Feb 1st, 2021. Another military coup the day before the parliament was due to swear in the NLD members who won the 2020 election by a landslide. The generals are still in complete control of the military. But fortunately for burmese people, everything she sacrificed and faced, which would break a normal person hundred times over, are for the country and its people, not for a prize. One thing to be clear, in the hearts of burmese people across the world, there will never, NEVER be “the fall of Aung San Suu Kyi”. Because she is a mother to us.

    “…. Dr Matthew Raphael Johnson explains what is really happening in Burma/Myanmar and why it is relevant to us. On February 1, the Burmese military took over the country, nullifying the results of a fraudulent election from November which had installed liberal, color revolutionary, media darling Aung San Suu Kyi. From a westernized, very wealthy family, Kyi was educated in the west and serves the CIA and the Soros-banker fronts explicitly. In the aftermath of the November 8 elections, the color revolutionaries allegedly won 396 out of 476 seats in parliament, cutting the military-based parties from political relevance. The military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) insists that the CIA and its local agents rigged the elections, citing 10.5 million cases of irregularities. These have led to mass protests in all major states and cities of the country. The purpose of this fraudulent election is to enshrine liberalism over the political life of the country, which is a way to pull Burma out of its pro-China policy. More broadly, the point is to break the development of the New Silk Road project, a multi-trillion dollar, anti-liberal infrastructure project unifying the Eurasian plain against the west. If liberalism has the IMF, the WTO and Davos as its institutional representatives, the anti-liberal movement has the New Silk Road. The coup against liberalism in Burma has immense geopolitical consequences few realize…..”

    I'm a Burmese and after seeing this documentary, I feel very disappointed to be point out to our leader. We have been under our own government for over 50 years by so called "Military". And many people died and sacrifices for their life to get freedom for Aung San Su Kyi who is a daughter of General Aung San. She brings peace and democracy which we didn't have since President U Thein Sain (Military). Falls for her would be the trash she have to face that the last government had left. She have to clean those trash while other military based party people want to rebel against her to get military back. So I don't want any of those cold war within our country and being tortured by military so called "Union Solidarity and Development Party" for a long year since my grandparent's parent. The generation from Union Solidarity and Development Party people are not willing to win Aung San Su Kyi 'cause they are afraid that their freedom and trade will stop and their money income will close. So I don't want people from the world to see Daw Aung San Su Kyi as a bad leader, instead she is fixing the country fault by those people from Union Solidarity and Development Party. Thank you.

    it takes time. She knows feel good words wont solve a broken country. Has the Dalai lama freed Tibet no. Has Hilary become president. No. Unlike Nelson Mandela, Myanmar is not a black and white issue. She has said nothing negative about the rohingyas. In fact, constant repatriation efforts are being made. Just because shes not speaking loudly does not mean she is not doing something. What about new zealand that agreed to assist myanmar in repatriation efforts. fifty muslim folks are shot by a white folk in a country where cohabitation of two cultures are politically forced but minds are not changed. Where in the non muslim world are muslims safe. Do muslim countries also willingly house the Rohingya muslim brothers. Furthermore, this is a race issue, not a religious issue. Muslims of every other ethnicity and Buddhist majority in Myanmar coexist in the imperfect, impoverished, dictator ruled world that is Myanmar for over sixty years. It is only with the Rohingya rebels who attacked rohingya hindus and villages, massacring hundreds. Look at amnesty international. Since the time of the world wars, they fought with the enemy to get land from Myanmar to join with bangladesh, and in the end were hated for it and made stateless by the army that found them a threat. Instead of assimilating into Myanmar, rebels still largely exist, always attacking the resting monster that is the Myanmar army. Mind you the myanmar army does not care for the country and will eliminate anything in its way to attack Aung San Suu Kyi. And they just became the target. Even then, Suu Kyi is trying what she can do. Rohingyas can come back, the identification process is still long and tedious. And yet there are rohingya rebels lurking among the innocent refugees, refusing to go back demanding land from Rakhine region, land that historically belonged to the rakhine folks since ancient times, its not even Burmese historical land. Imagine the chaos the country would be in if Suu Kyi became a yes man to the international world and not see the traps laid out for her

    While it is true that Aung San Suu Kyi doesn’t have much control over military, that does not excuse her from defending their genocide of the Rohingya Muslims. It also does not excuse her for cracking down on free speech and jailing journalists. This video also failed to mention how she has made virtually no progress regarding democracy since she’s taken power, and that she is defending the very military that had held her hostage. The Burmese government has remained as repressive as it was before she took power, and she has made no attempt at changing it. Her party holds legislative power yet they have changed very little in this country. I believe Suu Kyi has become obsessed with holding power.

    Norway and Sweden both pushed the prizes for propaganda purposes that has blown up in their faces time and time again. Worse was 1968 when Sweden's central bank "donated" a "large sum" of money to hand out prizes in economics to celebrate their 300th anniversary. A. Nobel specifically wrote that he did not want to give prizes in economics because it is too akin to philosophy with very little objectivity and predictive capacity therefore can be used to demagoguery/propaganda toward a person not the science or philosophy discovered. Nobel left out mathematics, it would have made sense to add that one. But nope. Economics instead. I wonder why?

The world knew what was going on in the Rohingya camp. She’s not that different from the previous violence-loving military government. Smh...

    Its true that west and UN criticized her for what she had done. But my objection is that what does the western country and UN did for the crisis. All of them want to forward their own agenda. And no one ready to accept humanity.

    Why do Burmese people hate and oppress the Rohingya? What did this powerless minority to the Burmese majority? She also supported the genocide. Do you have an answer to that question? Because I would like to hear your point of view.
