Min Aung Hlaing: Difference between revisions

Line 27:

In November 2011, according to ''The Irrawaddy News'', it was "widely believed" that following Min Aung Hlaing's meetings with Chinese military officials that month and his leadership in creating a bilateral agreement on defense cooperation with the Chinese, he had also held talks with Chinese Vice-President [[Xi Jinping]] regarding cooperation from China with respect to the Kachin Conflict.

In early 2021, Hlaing declared the 2020 election results fraudulent and launched a military coup against then-leader [[Aung San Suu Kyi]]. She, along with many other civilian leaders, was arrested. The army then installed him as leader of Myanmar (though he was believed by some to have already been ''de facto'' leader of the country), after which the [[State Administration Council]] was formed to govern the country. Because of this, it is believed that he intends to revert the country to a military dictatorship. In response to the coup, many Myanmarese citizens organized protests demanding the release of those arrested and the reinstatement of the civilian government. With Min Aung Hlaing's authorization, the military and police have used force to crack down on these protests, resulting in at least 70 deaths.
