Beautiful, Anguished Myanmar
In the news - the military has put Aung San Syuu Ki and her leaders in house arrest and taken over the ruling of the country - another military coup after 1988. - Military has basically been in power since 1965!
This is such a beautiful country - we visited it in 2019, and then I thought I must bring my parents to see this lovely country too. It is a country my grandfather had visited, my ancestors have deep ties to this country - before they were chased out by the military, some even forced to flee by foot all the way back to India, all their wealth taken possession of by the military.
then the icon was released, and led the country - amidst some ugliness regarding the Rohingya crises - but still, a free country with untapped potential, just waiting to bloom - now, just like that, military control is back.
Horrendous.
