Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of Myanmar's civilian government, has been taken into custody in a raid early on Monday morning. The army said that it had taken control of the country and declared a state of emergency that will last a year.
Other members of the ruling National League for Democracy have also been detained, according to local reports.
The coup follows a flare-up of tension between the country's powerful army and the nominally in-charge civilian rulers. The developments were accompanied by a military build-up around main city Yangon.
On Myawaddy TV, a station owned by the army, the military later said that it had seized control of the country in response to "election fraud." Military leader Min Aung-Hliang will now head the government.

She is no longer the darling of the West. She can't expect much more than empty platitudes about democracy from us.

Didn't Suu Kyi fall out of favour by enforcing law and order on problem Muslims?
Maybe that's why the west turned on her.
The country has been inundated with Bangladeshis
