2021 In the early days of Min Aung Hlaing’s coup d’état, the Burmese army had dreams sprinkled with gold. Like Ne Win in 1962 Like Saw Maung 1988 2021 Min Aung Hlaing’s idea that the military would seize power and taunt the country. The plan to divide the people.
Min Aung Hlaing tried to make it as close as possible to the route information shown by the previous junta before him. The previous juntas in Myanmar, Shu Maung, Ne Win, Saw Maung and Khin Nyunt just as they did, Min Aung Hlaing also suppressed the people who revolted due to the coup by killing and torturing them. According to some Myanmar analysts, the Myanmar military has mastered the coup process and is avoiding international laws.
Min Aung Hlaing also stubbornly called the coup as a “property” of a student who raised questions from memorized questions. Believing that the army had won over the public in past coups led Min Aung Hlaing to his death.
In fact, people’s revolutions cannot be brought out by a single process. 1962, 1988, 1997, 2007, every decade since 2015, there has been a ground revolution against the Burmese Army under various headlines, and they have not stopped in the rest of the years. Every generation of young people on the ground was familiar with the revolution.
Every generation, from grandmothers to children and grandchildren, were revolutionaries. The techniques shown by the previous generations; they passed on solutions to problems. They were updated as necessary.
The 1962 student uprising led to the 1988 8-four uprising. The 2021 Spring Revolution has seen the emergence of Gen Z youths, based on the uprisings of the 8 Fours.
The masses have passed their generation full of ideas instead of gold and silver. To defy injustice; to boldly imagine a country where he wants to live, He was given a legacy of ideas such as giving life if necessary.
It would be a big mistake to think that the 1988 student uprising was a failure. The current spring revolution will prove that it was a prelude to a larger movement.
