Myanmar country profile

Myanmar, also called Myanmar, has long been regarded as a country of Dalit under the pressure of a repressive military regime from 1962 to 2011.

The general who runs the country repressed almost all objections and was criticized for serious infringement of human rights that triggered international criticism and sanctions.

Progressive liberalization began in 2010, free elections were held in 2015, and in the second year it was founded by a government headed by experienced opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

However, military operations against terrorist suspects in Rakhine Province since August 2017 have caused more than half a million Muslim Rohingya, which the United Nations calls "an example of a textbook for ethnic cleansing", to neighboring Bangladesh I let him escape.

It harms the international reputation of the new government and emphasizes the continued control of the Burmese army.

In March 2018, the National Assembly has been told that U Win Myint was elected president on behalf of U Htin Kyaw who resigned, but this is due to poor health.

Since the conclusion of the military rule in 2016, the president's role is basically ritual, and Aung San Suu Kyi has effectively led the government as a national counselor. As her son is a British citizen, she was forbidden to become Myanmar's president under the Constitution drafted by the military.

The reputation of Aung San Suu Kyi, a long-time leader of the democratic movement, was hit by the government of the Rohingya Muslim community in 2017. And it called the UN a victim of ethnic cleansing in the Myanmar army.

Reporters Without Borders said that media freedom is not a priority for democratically elected governments in 2016.

That country still controls major broadcasting stations and publications, and usually self-censoring is done.

1990 - The opposition Democratic Party League (NLD) had overwhelming victory in the election, but the military neglected the result

2011 - The military was handed over to the nominal civilian government after last year's election

2015 - election. Opposition Democratic Federation led by Aung San Suu Kyi - Organized a government by winning parliamentary seats

The dominant military regime of the country changed the state name from Myanmar to Myanmar in 1989, but this change has not been officially endorsed by the United States and Britain. Some people say that the use of the name Myanmar is still controversial and suggests support for military rule. "It feels like a second-rate citizen," Hlaing said. Hlaing was shocked by the fact that he witnessed Rakhines' atrocities and protests against the government against teenagers. Hlaing added that although military attacks were the most devastating, Rohingya also faced intense incidents from Burmese Buddhists.

Myanmar neighboring countries are one of the first countries to recognize Bangladesh. Despite common regional interests, Bangladesh 's relationship with Myanmar is nervous due to the Rohingya refugee issue and the Burmese army' s isolationist policy. In 2012, these countries reached the requirements of the International Oceanic Court on the issue of maritime conflict in the Bay of Bengal. In 2016 and 2017, after the atrocities, more than 400,000 Rohingya refugees entered Bangladesh, the relationship with Myanmar became tense again. The Bangladesh Parliament, the government and civil society are at the forefront of international criticism of Myanmar's military operations against Rohingya, which the United Nations calls ethnic cleansing.

Myanmar is known as Myanmar, the country of Southeast Asia, Bengal Bay to the west, Bangladesh and India to the west, China, Laos and Thailand to the east. Myanmar reached a democratic system with the army most recently on November 8, 2015, and allowed free elections. After years of arrest, the Nobel Peace Prize will have Aung San Suu Kyi as power. Rakhain State, the western coastal area, consists mainly of Buddhist Rakhine (4%, about 2 million) and mainly Muslim Rohingya (2%, about 1 million). The tension between Buddhism and the Muslim community also brought violence in the province of Rakhine, where nationalist Buddhists are targeting Rohingya. Rohingya is a unique country with its own language and culture, but insists that there is a long history connection with Rakhine State.
