Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy (NLD) party had won the national elections with a landslide victory. It was a period of burgeoning and tentative hope for the country. A complex figure, Aung San Suu Kyi's rise to power as an icon for democracy, coincided with her fall from grace in the wake of her pointed silence during Myanmar's violent genocidal repression of the Rohingya minority. Some have suggested she was attempting for an incredibly delicate balance, striving to consolidate democracy while appeasing a military establishment that could disrupt her life's work at any moment. In the early hours of this Monday, that complex but short-lived political experiment in democracy — a tenuous power-sharing partnership with the country's military — was in tatters after a coup by the army.
