“While there have been individual responses from UN member states such as the US, UK, European Union, and Australia, they haven't been sufficient to cause enough of an impact on the Myanmar military for them to change their thinking or to try and pressure them into rethinking this coup and whether it is in their interests or not. The UK could put forward a resolution, but so far we've seen China and Russia specifically - the other permanent members of the security council - they would veto any resolution calling for a global arms embargo, which is essential to end the oppression of the Myanmar people by this quite heinous regime.”

“The situation is very volatile and it's very unclear what's going on. The mutiny is not a surprise and the attempted coup that it has become is not a surprise either. There have been a lot of grievances among the army due to the lack of resources, the poor equipment they have been given in fighting the insurgency. Originally the mutiny was about that - about the soldiers being treated better and given better equipment. It seems that negotiations have broken down and that it has become a full-blown coup.”

“A mutiny that has ingredients of a coup is exactly the way to look at this. We are now talking about a region which is seeing a swing back in favour of coups after an attempted coup in Niger and successful coups in Mali and Guinea in recent years. We have had five successful or attempted coups [in the region] if you count them all together this decade, so Burkina Faso is fitting into that pattern.”

“If you want to stage a successful coup you need to have a lot of support from the inside, which Putin apparently doesn't have. On top of that, if you change the government, you own Ukraine … and that would be a very expensive enterprise for the Russian leadership.”

“Under the guise of spontaneous protests, a wave of unrest broke out … It became clear that the main goal was to undermine the constitutional order and to seize power. We are talking about an attempted coup d'etat... The main blow was directed against Almaty. The fall of this city would have paved the way for a takeover of the densely populated south and then the whole country. Then they planned to seize the capital [Nur-Sultan].”

“The worst-case scenario could see security forces fracture. There was a real risk junior army officers could attempt to topple al-Burhan and the rest of the old guard. Al-Burhan is always worried about junior officers orchestrating a coup.”

“The November 21 deal lacked public support, apparent in the continuation of the protests against him [Abdalla Hamdok] and his inability to appoint any ministers. It meant that no one wanted to share this pact with him. In their [protesters'] view, all he did was legitimise the coup. Hamdok was like a fig leaf.”

“The sentencing of Aung San Suu Kyi on Monday on bogus charges are the latest example of the military's determination to eliminate all opposition and suffocate freedoms in Myanmar. The court's farcical and corrupt decision is part of a devastating pattern of arbitrary punishment that has seen more than 1,300 people killed and thousands arrested since the military coup in February. The international community must step up to protect civilians and hold perpetrators of grave violations to account, and ensure humanitarian and health assistance is granted as a matter of utmost urgency.”

“Since the day of the coup, it's been clear that the charges against Aung San Suu Kyi, and the dozens of other detained MPs, have been nothing more than an excuse by the junta to justify their illegal power grab.”

“Using state resources to campaign, bussing voters from remote, rural areas to the polls, and stacking vote observation tables with loyalists are just some ways the National Party can manipulate the results. It's a bit naive to think that the same people who carried out the coup, who committed grave human rights abuses and electoral fraud and violated the constitution to stay in power, today have converted into democrats and are going to easily accept losing power with all the implications that it carries.”

“Protests could now be held against both the military and Hamdok following the deal. The deal was a major compromise on the part of the prime minister as it essentially validates what has been called bad behaviour by this coup. Protesters have every right to be concerned about what message this sends to the country and to the prospects of the democratic transition.”
