DHAKA (The Daily Star/ANN): Since Myanmar's military coup on Feb 1, the commander-in-chief of the Tatmadaw, General Min Aung Hlaing, has been working to remake the country's political landscape by removing the National League for Democracy (NLD) party, detaining its leadership and installing a military junta.

But the success of the coup is not guaranteed, given the junta's lack of control over parts of the state apparatus, population and the spiralling economy. The civil disobedience movement is spreading across key ministries.
