THE military coup in Myanmar on February 1 this year is a product of the country’s long-running social and economic crisis, according to their Communist Party (the party of prefers to refer to its country as Burma, as some other opposition forces also do, rather than the military-chosen name Myanmar.)
The Communist Party of Burma (CPB) was founded in August 1939 by a group of revolutionaries in what was then a British-ruled colony. The founders included national hero Aung San.
The party survived decades of illegality, including prolonged periods of armed struggle against foreign occupiers and a succession of repressive domestic military regimes.
