缅甸的文职领导人昂山素季(Aung San Suu Kyi)及其数名高级副手在周一凌晨的突袭中被拘留，军方通过一场政变推翻了执政仅五年的政府，重新确立了对该国的控制。

执政党全国民主联盟(National League for Democracy)的官员周一早上证实了拘留事件。几小时后，在政治家和活动人士纷纷出动，试图找出哪些人被拘留时，一家军方电视台宣布缅甸进入为期一年的紧急状态，政权被移交给军方总司令敏昂莱(Min Aung Hlaing)大将。

缅甸主要城市的移动网络和互联网已被切断，一些当地记者因为担心他们的报道可能危及人身安全而躲了起来。据当地居民透露，国内航班已被暂停，缅甸最大城市仰光的主要国际机场也已关闭。

缅甸一直被誉为是军方自愿将部分权力移交给平民的罕见案例，该国2015年的选举结果让全国民主联盟得以上台。

该党的坚定支持者曾因在政治上反对军方而被监禁多年。政党的“守护神”昂山素季曾被软禁15年，并因非暴力反抗囚禁她的军政府而在1991年获得诺贝尔和平奖。

但由敏昂莱领导的军方在该国仍然掌握着重要的权力，周一对政府高层领导人、活动人士和其他资深政界人士的拘留似乎证明了，军方对民主的承诺是一个谎言。

“大门正向着一个不同的、几乎肯定是更黑暗的未来打开，”着有多本关于缅甸的着作的历史学家丹敏·吴(Thant Myint-U)说。“缅甸已经是一个正在与自己交战的国家，这里武器泛滥，数百万人几乎无法养活自己，因为宗教和族群阵线而严重分裂。”

“在过去十年里，缅甸能够在民主方面取得任何进展，这几乎是一个奇迹，”他说。“我不确定有谁能控制接下来会发生什么。”
