The Political Crisis in Burma – an Interview with Olivia Enos from Heritage Foundation
On February 1st, 2021, Burma’s military leaders seized power from the civilian-led government in a coup, plunging the Southeast Asian nation into a political crisis only a decade after the end of almost 50 years of strict and brutal military rule.
