0:56Now PlayingA day after Myanmar’s military pulled off a well-choreographed coup, the country’s civilian leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, finds herself right back where she was just over a decade ago — under house arrest.
But this time, her standoff with the military comes after she has sorely disappointed many once-staunch supporters in the international community by cozying up to the country’s generals while in power. Leaders in the West are still denouncing her detention, of course — but they no longer view her as a paragon of democratic leadership.
Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy party won last November elections by a landslide, catching the generals by surprise. They immediately cried voter fraud — an allegation the country’s election commission has dismissed — and proved Monday who really controls the country, rounding up Suu Kyi and other top leaders under the cover of darkness, just hours before a new session of Parliament was set to convene.
