Myanmar is bordered by India and Bangladesh to its west, Thailand and Laos to its east and China to its north and northeast. Myanmar is the largest of the mainland Southeast Asian states.To its south, about one third of Myanmar's total perimeter of 5,876 km (3,651 mi) forms an uninterrupted coastline of 1,930 km (1,200 mi) along the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea. The country's 2014 census counted the population to be 51 million people.[8] As of 2017, the population is about 54 million.[4] Myanmar is 676,578 square kilometres (261,228 square miles) in size. Its capital city is Naypyidaw, and its largest city and former capital is Yangon (Rangoon).[1] Myanmar has been a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) since 1997.

Answer 2

THE conflict between the military Generals of the State Law

and Order Restoration Council (SLORC) and the democratic

forces led by the Nobel Laureate, Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi, is

entering another phase of tension and turmoil in Myanmar. The

large-scale arrests of activists of the National League for

Democracy (NLD) in September 1996 and hiring of goons to

disturb her meetings are definite indicators that the Generals

will go to any length to cling to power. The struggle to restore

democracy has a long and chequered history. It started in 1962,

when the military seized power. The long spell of military rule

under General Ne Win and the ridiculous slogan of 'Burmese

Way to Socialism' led to nationalisation of virtually everything,

so that a coterie could reap the benefits. As a result, one of the

richest countries in South East Asia was ruined economically

and politically. Still worse, Myanmar today has become the

world's largest producer of heroin.
