Suu Kyi expected to win second term as Myanmar prepares for general elections

Description

Yangon, Nov 6(EFE/EPA).- As the first democratically elected government of Myanmar completes its five-year term after over half a century of military dictatorship, State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi is all set to retain power in Sunday's elections, despite not having fulfilled many of the people's expectations. Many critics have accused Suu Kyi of not taking forward both the process of democratization that began in 2011 and the efforts to resolve conflicts with ethnic minorities."The Lady" - as she is popularly addressed in Myanmar - has also fallen into disgrace internationally over the government's policies towards the mostly Muslim Rohingya minority.
