Myanmar experienced a short-lived democratic experiment that begun in the 2012 general elections that saw the NLD entering parliament and their landslide victory in the 2015 elections with Aung San Suu Kyi becoming State Counsellor. However, the hope she brought soon turned into disappointment and condemnation when she appeared at the International Court of Justice in 2019 and defended the military campaigns of 2016 and 2017 that targeted the Rohingya and left 700,000 displaced in tandem with accusation of mass killings and rapes. This democratic experiment was put to an end in 2021 when General Min Aung Hlaing’s coup ousted Suu Kyi, and brought back military rule to Myanmar and driving the country to instability and a civil war.
