Why Military Coups Are Death Of Democracy?

-

The world has seen enough military coups and we don't want just another one in Myanmar

The political upheavals, the military coups and the civil wars are not the wars that any nation’s people want to fight- because at the end of the day, they destroy everyone’s life.

The story of Myanmar is no different, with military coup have robbed the nation of hope of a democracy. The war that Aung San Suu Kyi fought locked up in prison for decades has comes to knot end.  As her cabinet fell off the favour with the military heavy political party, the hope of democracy has once again become a faint light at the far end of the tunnel.

Meanwhile, harried people are fleeing from Myanmar to Thailand. On March 28, official reports state that an estimated 3,000 people had crossed the river dividing the two countries into Thailand's Mae Hong Son province following two days of aerial attacks.

It is another exodus of people looking for safe haven-something similar to the situation that has troubled MENA region for decades. Yemen, Syria, Sudan and Ethiopia are just some examples of how harried people have braved dangerous and treacherous physicality to look for safe haven.

Myanmar’s military are carrying out military strikes similar to one that rocked Syria for years. Despite the UN requesting for no air strikes, the western regions have continued to take advantage of an internal strife and bombed homes, medical facilities and infrastructure that devastated the lives of common residence.

The influx of more ethnic Karen villagers is expected to grown in the coming days, as new airstrikes from the Myanmar military continue. Myanmar military aircraft dropped bombs on a Karen guerrilla position in an area on the Salween River in Karen state’s Mutraw district, according to workers for two humanitarian relief agencies. Not many were hurt but the whole situation has already created unrest amongst the residence who are poor farmers by nature.

Earlier, on March 27, two Myanmar military planes twice bombed Deh Bu Noh village in Mutraw district, killing at least two villagers. The attacks may have been retaliation for the Karen National Liberation Army, which is fighting for greater autonomy for the Karen people, attacking and capturing a government military outpost on Saturday morning.
