Myanmar protests

Military leaders in Myanmar aim to project an air of “business as usual.” The realities on the ground suggest that it’s anything but.

The protest movement is boosted by rare ethnic solidarity as the nation unifies against the coup.

The difference in Western governments' reaction to the two episodes suggests a misplaced focus on electoral procedures.

But there’s a fine line between engaging the generals and legitimizing their seizure of power.

Myanmar’s army chief wanted a Thai-style coup. What he got was an uprising.

The mooted plan would involve holding the junta to its plan of holding free and inclusive elections in a year's time.

After three weeks, tensions between the military and the anti-coup protest movement are beginning to rise.

Given its own history of transition from military rule, Indonesia is probably the nation best placed to lead the bloc's diplomacy on Myanmar.

Myanmar is approaching an inflection point, but the window for meaningful foreign action is quickly closing.

The protests come ahead of a scheduled court appearance by Aung San Suu Kyi on Wednesday.

The Myanmar coup has revealed the lack of democratic resilience in Asia, but also the growing solidarity and strength of the region's civil society.

The changes come amid an intensification of the nationwide protests against the February 1 coup.
