The landslide victory for Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) in Myanmar’s historic multi-party election is a great triumph in the annals of contemporary political struggles. It marks a stunning comeback for a woman —- revered as ‘The Lady’ —- who was robbed of a similar win in 1990 by the military. Subsequently, she survived 15 years of imprisonment and decades of crackdowns on her party by the country’s military rulers.
Suu Kyi’s win is comparable to Mandela’s ‘Long Walk to Freedom’
