Translation Summary: Aman Ullah, a Rohingya teacher, historian and blogger talks about few subjects on Myanmar military coup. Firstly, he talked about the reason for this coup. He said,” Military chief Min Aung Hling forcibly did this coup because he made a false allegation which was election fraud, but the truth is, he fears losing power since NLD holds majority vote counts. Besides there are personal interests like saving his wealth and other property which he fears of losing them if he is not in the power. Moreover, he can manipulate somehow for the case in ICJ if he is in the power. There was not a single record of fair election under his authority so what he said to do a fair election after a year is not true. Secondly, now we have seen mass people ,including political and non-political, have started protests against this coup for establishing true democracy in the country. But their demand is not clear. People want that their leaders be freed and want their power back. Their demand should be establishing democracy and remove military power by following 2008 constitution. Not only asking for the release of Aung Sun Suu Kyi. Finally, Rohingya’s around the world reacted to this issue differently. Some stood with NLD and for establishing democracy and others did not show any sympathy towards NLD since NLD chair did not do anything for Rohingya’s during 2017 issue. So, in my opinion, our stand should be establishing true democracy across the country and remove the power from the military”.
