  Unreal what&apos;s happening to Myanmar right now. We hosted the 2019 South East Asian Games and I was a liaison officer and in-charge of the transportation of the athletes and delegates for basketball and the players and team staff from Myanmar were one of the most humble and nicest people. I still have the bracelet and shoal given to me by their coach and manager. Hoping for their safety.

  To those with limited knowledge about Suu Kyi and the ethnic cleansing:<br><br>What Suu Kyi did was objectively wrong. But the reality is, there was almost nothing she could have done. Myanmar has not been a truly democratic nation for decades. The military has always been in control. Almost every ethnic group in Myanmar has faced oppression just as the Rohingyas the only difference is they managed to get their hands on arms and the Rohingyas couldn&apos;t. The reason you don’t hear about them is simply because there’s no international coverage.<br><br>As per the constitution, the military automatically holds 25% of parliament seats, and over 75% is needed to pass any bill which anyone with a working brain knows is utter bullshit, hence the 2008 uprising.<br><br>The ethnic cleansing was carried out by the military, not the civilian government. Believing the democratic side had real power in this situation shows a lack of understanding. The driving forces behind the genocide were racism, religious propaganda, and disinformation which much of it spread on Facebook. (Johnny Harris has a solid video on this if you want a source.)<br><br>Suu Kyi had two options:<br>1) Publicly condemn the military, put them on the spot at the ICJ (which didn’t work anyway), while giving them an excuse to end Myanmar’s fragile “pseudo-democracy.”<br>2) Play along, entertain, buy time, and try to keep the door open for a civilian government but lose her Nobel Prize, be humiliated internationally, all while knowing a coup could still happen for no valid reason, just like it did in February 2021.<br><br>Was she complicit? In a sense, yes. But to assume that a woman who risked her life, who could have stayed safe in the UK but chose to return in 1988 to fight for her people, who spent a total of 19 years under house arrest and counting, actually supported genocide without any context is simply ignorance.

  It is very sad because Myanmar truly has so much potential as a country that excels in theology, tourism and has fascinating historical sites.
