San Suu Kyi . She became the Prime Minister of Myanmar after the NLD party won the 2015 general election .
During her tenure as Prime Minister in 2017 , the Myanmar military , along with local Buddhist monks , created carnage on Rohingya Muslims , which continues to this day . Seven lakh Rohingya minorities fled to Bangladesh during the genocide . In 2018 , the Aung San Suu Kyi government removed 1.2 million Rohingya from the 2014 census and revoked their right to vote . When Aung San Suu Kyi appeared in court in 2019 , she denied the charge of genocide , while the military that has captured Myanmar today is trying through the courts to keep her in jail for another decade in several corruption cases . C ) Current Leader of Myanmar :
Myanmar Commander-in-Chief Min Aung Hlaing took power through a military coup . He has had significant political influence as Myanmar has been moving towards democracy since 2011 . He took over as Myanmar ’ s commander in chief during the abolition of military rule in 2011 . He announced military support to the opposition USDP party . He blocked the NLD party ’ s efforts to amend the constitution and limit military power and ensured the 25 per cent of the seats in parliament . In 2017 , the military intensified its crackdown on Rohingya minorities in the northern state . As a result , many Rohingya had to flee Myanmar , and the genocideimposed sanctions on them .
In his first public statement after the uprising , he stated that “ the military is on the side of the people , that the constitution is being drafted for a true and disciplined democracy , and that elections will be free and fair once the state of emergency is over .” However , it was not clear when the emergency would end . D ) Problem of Rohingyas :
Rohingyas have been migrating to Myanmar since 1970 . Their number is higher than the official figures . The government revoked the citizenship of 12 lakh Rohingyas and removed them from the 2014 census . Most of them
12 live in Rakhine State . They have their own language and culture . They have been facing religious violence or military attacks for decades . In 2017 the army along with local Buddhist monks created carnage . The Medical Charities Medicine Frontier ( MFS ) reports that at least 6700 Rohingyas and 730 children under the age of 5 have died in a single month of violence . About seven lakh Rohingyas have fled across the Myanmar border into Bangladesh . The military also raped and tortured Rohingya women and girls .
A case was filed in the ICJ by the Gambia , a small Muslim-majority country in West Africa . The ICJ , however , has the power to inquire only into disputes between the states . The International Criminal Court ( ICC ) has approved the trial of Rohingyas as it has the power to prosecute perpetrators of war crimes and inhumane acts . Although Myanmar is not a member of the court , it said the case falls under its jurisdiction as the Rohingyas who fled to Bangladesh is a Member . When Aung San Suu Kyi appeared in court in December 2019 , she denied the allegations of genocide . The country ’ s Independent Commission of Inquiry acknowledged serious human rights abuses but said there was no evidence of genocide . A full report on this has not yet been released . E ) International Response :
Western Nations are demanding that the United Nations Security Council impose wide sanctions on Myanmar . Russia and China , however , oppose such measures , even if they are permanent members of the Security Council . The United States has , as always , imposed sanctions on individuals and traders associated with the junta . Russia , the second-largest supplier of arms to the Myanmar military after China , has warned that sanctions are a negative factor . Representatives from seven Asian countries , including India , China , and Russia , attended the Armed Forces Day celebrations in Myanmar on March 27 . Indian and
Myanmar military organizations had close ties during the insurgency . India and China have been very careful in their public response to the military coup and have been dealt very strictly in providing shelter to people fleeing violence in Myanmar .
Laos , Cambodia , and Thailand have declared the developments in Myanmar as their “ internal matter ”. Singapore is the largest investor in Myanmar . Japan , South Korea , and Thailand have also invested heavily in the country . These countries have been criticised the military takeover but have remained silent on imposing sanctions . Similarly , the largest trading partners China , Japan , Thailand , Indonesia , and India were reluctant to impose sanctions . The 2019 UN secret report reveals that China , Russia , as well as Ukraine , India and Israel are in the business of selling arms to the military general . Although these neighbouring countries have established diplomatic relations with the military government , its dictatorial nature will not change . Militarism is militarism .
Myanmar people must defeat the military dictatorship , and in the same case must not be limited to bourgeois democracy . The people must be prepared for the struggle to establish People ’ s Democracy and the hegemony of the working class . �

the Country to the Imperialist and comprador capitalist classes . No one came forward to invest in our country when Central Government went across the globe spending public money on the charter planes for foreign investments . That is why Industries and Companies in the Public Sector are being cheaply put for sale .
Taking spirit from the Independence Struggle , people must unite and fight for their right to live against the corporatization of the agricultural and industrial sectors by the Government . There is no alternative but to struggle to save the country .
