Hello.
José Levy greets you on the CNN podcast «Global Challenges».

The impressive image of the Catholic nun Ann Rose Nu Twang cannot be indifferent, who with admirable heroism knelt in front of the armed officers and implored them not to shoot the children.
Something that led Pope Francis himself to say "I too kneel in the streets of Myanmar" on Wednesday, and called for an end to violence.

It was the first of February when the Military Junta headed by General Min Aung Hlein took control of the country.
The excuse was that the November elections, in which Aung San Suu Kyi's party clearly won, had been fraudulent;

They also assured that they will remain in power until, they said, "fair elections" are held.
For her part, the Nobel Peace Prize winner has since been arrested, charged with four charges that her supporters describe as "totally unfounded."
From having received bribes of money, gold, to having illegal mobile phones at home.
And so the situation deteriorated.
