Fellows Olivia and Margaret give a summary of the events which led to the military coup in Myanmar this year, and how the Burmese citizens and the greater international community has responded. The coup has displaced thousands of people from their homes, left the majority of politicians imprisoned, and fueled the persecution against the Rohingyas. They also discuss the role of multilateral organizations and the ethics of sanctions in response to political turmoil.
