Burma: Spirits of 8.8.88 Mass Uprising
Loading...
Uploaded by bdcburma on Aug 20, 2009
Demonetization of certain bank notes in the currency, in September 1987 wiping out the savings of the vast majority of people. Burma's admittance to Least Developed Country status by the UN the following December highlighted its economic bankruptcy. Triggered by brutal police repression of student-led protests causing the death of over a hundred students and civilians in March and June 1988, widespread protests and demonstrations broke out on August 8 throughout the country. During the 8888 Uprising, the military responded by firing into the crowds, killing thousands. General Saw Maung staged a coup on September 18 and promised to hold the election.
Multiparty elections in May 1990, the National League for Democracy (NLD) won a landslide victory.
