Aung San Suu Kyi's long fight for 僕主主義

The last time Myanmar held a 全国的な 選挙, Aung San Suu Kyi languished under 自宅監禁 while her party's 地滑り 勝利,勝つ was 簡単に ignored by the country's 残虐な 軍の 支配者s.

Twenty-five years on, the 僕主主義 支持する/優勝者 cast her 投票(する) Sunday morning at a Yangon 投票ing 駅/配置する -- the culmination of an exhausting few weeks of (選挙などの)運動をするing that has drawn large, jubilant (人が)群がるs hoping this will be Myanmar's fairest 投票(する) in 10年間s.

A 広大な マスコミ scrum 迎える/歓迎するd the 70-year-old as she swept into a 投票ing 駅/配置する, dressed in a red 最高の,を越す that matches the colours of her 国家の League for 僕主主義 party.

For Suu Kyi, the 投票s are a watershed moment in a life entwined with the 騒然とした political struggles of her 母国, 形態/調整d by 10年間s of 残虐な 革命評議会 支配する that only began to 緩和する in 2011.

The daughter of independence hero General Aung San, Suu Kyi, 70, has 長,率いるd 非,不,無-violent 対立 to the country's 軍の 支配者s in a three 10年間 役割 that has come at 広大な/多数の/重要な personal cost.

Detractors say her 評判 as a human 権利s icon has 減らすd in 最近の years as she 急落(する),激減(する)d herself into Myanmar's febrile politics, often choosing hard pragmatism over the idealism of her 自宅監禁 years.

But the Nobel Peace Prize 勝利者 still 命令(する)s 抱擁する 忠義 の中で 支持者s of her 国家の League for 僕主主義 (NLD) party and she remains a 磁石の 軍隊 for those wanting to see Myanmar shake off its 軍の past.

- 'Charismatic 大当り' -

But Suu Kyi has been here before and knows 井戸/弁護士席 that an 選挙 victory does not 保証(人) 力/強力にする in Myanmar.

事前の to her first stint of 自宅監禁 in July 1989, Suu Kyi spent months on a tiring -- and often 本人自身で dangerous -- (選挙などの)運動をする 追跡する.

The NLD's 圧勝 the に引き続いて year was 解任するd by a 革命評議会 that then 刑務所,拘置所d many of Suu Kyi's 同盟(する)s and kept her 限定するd to her lakeside Yangon home for much of the next two 10年間s.

Myanmar has since morphed from a hermit 明言する/公表する into a にわか景気ing economy open for 商売/仕事 since the 軍の ceded 力/強力にする to a quasi-非軍事の 改革論者 政府 in 2011.

"But two big factors that 港/避難所't changed are the charismatic 大当り enjoyed by Aung San Suu Kyi and the 耐えるing 支配する of the 軍の エリート," Nicholas Farrelly, director of the Myanmar 研究 Centre at the Australian 国家の University, told AFP.

"For many Myanmar 投票者s she is the defining 人物/姿/数字 of their country's anti-権威主義者 struggle. They imagine that the democratic 運命 停止(させる)d in the 1990s is now in reach."

Suu Kyi was born on June 19, 1945 in Japanese-占領するd Rangoon -- now called Yangon -- during the の近くにing 行う/開催する/段階s of World War II.

Her father Aung San fought for and against both the British and the Japanese colonisers as he jostled to give his country the best 発射 at independence.

- Thrust into limelight -

That goal was 達成するd in 1948 but Aung San was assassinated と一緒に most of his 閣僚 just months before.

Suu Kyi spent most of her 早期に years outside of Myanmar, first in India after her mother was 地位,任命するd as 外交官/大使 there and later at Oxford University where she met her British husband.

After General Ne 勝利,勝つ 掴むd 十分な 力/強力にする in 1962 he 軍隊d his own brand of 社会主義 on Myanmar, turning it from Asia's rice bowl into one of the world's poorest and most 孤立するd countries.

Suu Kyi's elevation into a 僕主主義 支持する/優勝者 happened almost by 事故 after she returned in 1988 to nurse her sick mother.

Soon afterwards 抗議するs 爆発するd against the 軍の, but were 鎮圧するd in a 厳重取締 that left at least 3,000 people dead.

The 流血/虐殺 was the catalyst for Suu Kyi. A charismatic orator, she 設立する herself in a 主要な 役割 in the burgeoning プロの/賛成の-僕主主義 movement, 配達するing speeches to (人が)群がるs of hundreds of thousands.

During her 自宅監禁 years the 革命評議会 申し込む/申し出d to end her 監禁,拘置 at any time if she left the country for good but Suu Kyi 辞退するd.

That 決定/判定勝ち(する) meant not seeing her husband before his death from 癌 in 1999, and 行方不明の her two sons growing up.

The 軍の 結局 認めるd her freedom in 2010, just days after 欠陥d 選挙s.

Two years later she entered 議会 after the NLD swept a 一連の 補欠選挙s.

But even if her party 勝利,勝つs this 総選挙, she cannot become 大統領,/社長 thanks to a 革命評議会-時代 憲法 that forbids anyone with offspring born abroad from taking the 最高の,を越す 位置/汚点/見つけ出す.

She towers over the NLD and some 観察者/傍聴者s question whether her 星/主役にする 力/強力にする has (太陽,月の)食/失墜d the 成果/努力s of younger party members to 現れる.

Suu Kyi has 公約するd to 修正する the 借り切る/憲章. On Thursday she went その上の, 宣言するing that she will 占領する a position "above the 大統領,/社長" if the NLD 勝利,勝つ.

In so doing she 問題/発行するd a challenge to the army 同様に as a 思い出の品 to her 支持者s that she 占領するs centre 行う/開催する/段階 in Myanmar's political 演劇.

But first she has to 勝利,勝つ.
