Prof. Dr. Judith Beyer on ARD-alpha

Prof. Dr. Judith Beyer was interviewed for ARD “alpha-demokratie” [alpha-democracy]. She contextualised the military coup of February 01 and its consequences. She answered questions on the geographic, economic and demographic backgrounds in Myanmar and on the person of state counsellor and NLD-leader Aung San Suu Kyi and her role in the country. Her iconic perception, also in western countries, was examined critically by Prof. Beyer, particularly in regard to the question of ethnicity in general and the group of the stateless Muslim Rohingya in particular. Eventually, the programme thematised the current civil disobedience movement (CDM). She furthermore reported on Myanmar people reaching out to the international community with an expectation to help by not approving the military regime. [in German]
