Myanmar: Hopefulness and Terror
Over the weekend and until Monday in Myanmar, the situation in the country continued to crumble.

Third, as veteran analyst Bertan Lintner noted in Myanmar, it appears that this coup was long overdue, as the junta government put together such a large cabinet and advisory council, which was probably planned long before the actual planning. Such planning and coordination indicate that an army of armed forces is prepared to enter in the long run.
Myanmar protesters on Monday probably held the biggest protests since the coup, in light of the junta warnings that the demonstrations could be committed with great force. The civil disobedience movement and a large part of the country are nearly closed. Some states in Southeast Asia have even begun to react slowly, and Indonesia has called on other associations of the Southeast Asian countries (ASEAN) to develop a plan to hold the junta until elections. For now, however, the prospect of severe repression remains.
