Mayhem (violent or damaging disorder) in Myanmar: On the violence during Myanmar’s Armed Forces’ Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

India, China and countries in ASEAN should pressure the junta (a military or political group that rules a country after taking power by force) to restore democracy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The violence of March 27, Myanmar\u2019s Armed Forces\u2019 Day, in which over 100 protesters were killed, has sent shockwaves. India, which initially expressed its \u201cdeep concern\u201d and called for (publicly ask for or demand something)<\/strong> the \u201crule of law\u201d and \u201cthe democratic process\u201d to be upheld, had stopped short of (not go as far as (some extreme action))<\/strong> directly condemning the junta\u2019s violence. It had also sent a representative to attend Saturday\u2019s celebrations. But on the day India\u2019s defence attach\u00e9 (a person on the staff of an ambassador, typically with a specialized area of responsibility)<\/strong>, along with the representatives of seven other countries, including China, Pakistan and Russia, was attending a massive military parade in Naypyidaw, the junta was gunning down (shoot someone and kill or injure them)<\/strong> its people. The violence and the prolonged crisis seem to have triggered a stronger response from several capitals, including New Delhi. On April 2, India, which has cultivated deep ties with Myanmar\u2019s civilian and military leaderships, condemned \u201cany use of violence\u201d and called for \u201crestoration of democracy\u201d. There is growing international appeal for ending the bloodshed (the killing or wounding of people, typically on a large scale during a conflict)<\/strong>, but the junta seems unperturbed (not worried or anxious)<\/strong>. Even after the March 27 killings, protests and regime violence continue. According to independent agencies, the junta has killed over 570 civilians, including 46 children, since the February 1 coup (a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the regime resorted to violence, it may have calculated that swift repression<\/strong> would extinguish the fire for freedoms, like in 1988 and 2007. But there is a fundamental difference this time. If in the past the protests erupted against the continuing military rule, in February, the military usurped (take (a position of power or importance) illegally or by force)<\/strong> power from an elected government after a decade of partial democracy. Those who enjoyed at least limited freedoms, first under the transition government and then under Aung San Suu Kyi, have built a stronger resistance to the junta this time. Street protests are not the only challenge the Generals are facing. The banking system is on the brink of collapse with most staff on strike. Cash is scarce and prices of essential goods are rocketing. Industrial workers are also on strike, bringing the pandemic-battered economy to its knees. The Generals\u2019 efforts to bring bank and government employees and port and industrial workers back to work have been unsuccessful so far. Worse still, armed insurgent groups have thrown their weight behind the protesters, triggering fears of a wider civil conflict. The Generals are unlikely to give up power on their own. They should be nudged to end the violence and make concessions. Initially, India and China, both vying for influence in Myanmar, were ambivalent in condemning the junta\u2019s violence because they did not want to antagonise the Generals. But an unstable Myanmar is not in the interest of any country. India, China and other countries in ASEAN should heap pressure on the junta and work towards restoring democracy in Myanmar, which is the only way forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
