A soldier watches from a military truck parked outside Yangon Hindu temple, Myanmar. Myanmar’s powerful military have declared a state of emergency for a year, detained State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi and taken power in their hands. Myanmar, which started a fragile transition to democracy 10 years ago after decades of brutal military dictatorship, is back in the hands of the Generals.
