Where is Aung San Suu Kyi? And what is her condition?

Nobody knows except the group of bandits among the generals that rule Myanmar.

The only way that they know to rule is to oppress Ms Suu Kyi and the people. For 15 years now, she and the National League for Democracy have been under constant pressure from the junta.

Ms Suu Kyi is at the heart of the Myanmar people. The generals are in a corner. They cannot bear to see people backing her and have attacked her supporters. The oppression has grown meaner and crueller.

The army has 500,000 men from a population of 45 million. According to this ratio, if there were 100 people in Myanmar, there would be 1.1 soldiers. For a comparison, the population of China is 1.2 billion and it has 2.5 million soldiers.

The generals have only expanded the army to suppress the people. If they were sincere and honest, they would negotiate with Ms Suu Kyi.
