Ko je Aung San Su Ći?

75-godišnja Aung San Su Ći došla je na vlast posle ubedljive pobede njene stranke na izborima 2015, kada je formirana prva civilna vlada te zemlje u pola veka.   -Ona je ćerka heroja borbe za nezavisnost Aung Sana i provela je veći deo mladosti u inostranstvu.   -1988. Aung San Su Ći se vratila u prestonicu Jangon da bi se starala o majci koja je bila na samrti, i uključila se u studentske proteste protiv vojske koja je vladala Mjanmarom od puča 1962. -Kao elokventna govornica, bila je verovatni kandidat za vođu pokreta ali su protesti ugušeni, njegovi lideri ubijeni ili uhapšeni a i sama Aung San Su Ći uhapšena u svojoj porodičnoj kući i držana u kućnom pritvoru do 2010.  -Dodeljena joj je Nobelova nagrada za mir 1991. godine, koju je njen stariji sin Aleksandar primio u njeno ime. -U avgustu 2011, Aung San Su Ći se prvi put sastala sa tadašnjim predsednikom Teinom Seinom, bivšim generalom i šefom kvazi-civilne administracije, što je označilo početka pragmatičnog peroida njenih kontakata sa vladom bivših vojnika. -2015. došla je na vlast na osnovu platfomre koja je obećavala okončanje građanskog rata, jačanje stranih investicija i smanjenje uloge vojske u politici. Takođe je obećala zapadnim saveznicima da će rešavati probleme Rohingja muslimana.   In 2015, she came to power on a platform of ending civil war, drumming up foreign investment, and reducing the army's role in politics. She also promised Western allies she would address the plight of the Rohingya Muslim people.   -Rohingya militants attacked security forces in Rakhine State in August 2017. The military responded with a campaign that included the torching of hundreds of villages and killings. Aung San Suu Kyi blamed "terrorists" for an "iceberg of misinformation" about the crisis and said the military was exercising the "rule of law.”   -She went to the Hague in 2019 to face charges of genocide brought against Myanmar at the International Court of Justice at The Hague. She acknowledged the possibility war crimes had been committed but framed the crackdown as a legitimate military operation against terrorists.   -Results from a November 2020 parliamentary election showed her ruling National League of Democracy party had won enough parliamentary seats to form the next administration. The NLD said it would seek to form a government of national unity.   -After weeks of disputes about the election results involving the military, in the early hours of Feb. 1, Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint and other senior figures from the ruling party were detained in an early morning raid.
