Myanmar s coup reveals cracks in divided region ANI | Updated: Feb 06, 2021 10:32 IST
Hong Kong, February 6 (ANI): The Myanmar military s brazen coup against Aung San Suu Kyi s democratically-elected government has sent shockwaves across Southeast Asia and revealed new cracks in their increasingly trade-driven collective bloc, reported Asia Times.
The coup has jolted the 10-members Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) - Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Vietnam, Myanmar (Burma), Cambodia, Brunei, and Laos.
This is due to their years of collective silence and complacency over democratic backsliding and mass atrocities in Myanmar. ASEAN, far from taking a united stance, is roughly split into three camps, reflecting both their divergent geopolitical orientations as well as distinct domestic political situations, reported Asia Times.

The Myanmar military’s seizure of power from the elected civilian government brought swift condemnation from Washington and other Western capitals, with US President Joe Biden threatening to reimpose sanctions and calling for a concerted international response to push the generals into relinquishing power.
White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Biden’s remark that the US was “taking note” of how other countries respond to the military takeover was “a message to all countries in the region.”
