Myanmar’s tentative movement toward democracy that started in 2010 seems to have come to a halt. The military (Tatmadaw) has taken over the reins, and the country reverted to authoritarianism from a semi-democratic form of governance. State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint and a host of other senior members of the ruling National League for Democracy (NLD) have been detained.
