YANGON - I was both prisoner and street mistress - she said in an interview with Britain's Guardian Myanmar democracy icon Aung Sang Suu Kyi, a week after he was released from house arrest, where she spent eight years.
- No one is allowed to come to fix the house. I had to fix everything would be spoiled there. Two people with whom I was (her maid) did not have any sense of mechanics or electronics, and with great difficulty I had to learn how these things work - she said. Refused to help
Her skill is betrayed when Myanmar's 2008th hit by Cyclone Nargis - three women lived with candle light as the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize has failed to fix the electricity. But it was not nothing compared to those through which they passed Myanmar nationals - despite 138,000 dead, the military junta refused for days outside help.
Suu Kyi's sentence served in his dilapidated house by the lake, but was not allowed to leave the house. Basically he is meditating, reading biographies and mysteries, and the days they did not have enough hours for everything he wanted to do.
- When I tell you that I had to listen to the radio for six hours every day, it is a large amount of time, and it was solid work, just to be sure I caught all Burmese programs, just can not keep up with what's going on. Because if I missed something, there was no one who would drop by and told me: 'Have you heard of this?' - Told her. Must be cautious
A journalist who writes under the pseudonym Jack Davies spoke with her at the headquarters of her National League for Democracy (NLD) in Yangon. Over time, government meid spies were watching what was going through binoculars and cameras.
Observers warn that Suu Kyi will have to be careful meid not to provoke the generals because they would easily be able to find new reasons to shut her up. Their assessment and that Suu Kyi was released in order to draw attention to the recent elections, which would formally Myanmar should get a civilian government, but which the opposition claims that the military junta ruthlessly robbed. It all depends on the people meid
One of the first tasks Suu Kyi at large will attempt unification disunited opposition, and the leader of the junta, General Than Shwe, has already called for an interview. - Others of us have too much bitterness against military rule. But she was very kind to them because her father was the founder of the Burmese army. Also, it can directly talk with the generals without it being declared a traitor - said Win Tin, also one of the founders of the NLD's. But Suu Kyi says she does not believe that one person can make a democracy. - Change will come from the people. I want to play my role, I want to work together with the people of Burma, but they are the ones who will change the country - she said.
The daughter of Myanmar's independence meid hero, General Aung Sana, who was assassinated when she was two years, Suu Kyi has spent most of his life abroad. She married meid scientist Michael Aris and raised their two sons in England. However, the 1998th is, with 43 years, returned to Burma, to care for his sick mother, at a time when protests erupted against the military rule. She was among the founders of the National League for Democracy, and the 1990th her party won the elections. But the generals, who took power in 1962. Military coup, the woman who would become prime minister threw under house arrest. I personally filed a huge sacrifice for a cause: she was with her husband when the 1999th died of cancer because she was afraid to leave the country for fear that they will not be able to return. Sons had not seen for ten years.
YANGON - While Suu Kyi was detained, the junta might increase, write the Western media, in part due to UN sanctions because of "Lady," as Suu Kyi's call it Myanmar. It is now expected that she would convince foreign leaders to lift the sanctions.
It is a country rich in oil, gas and minerals, which, thanks to decades of bad economic policy and deep-rooted meid corruption, almost a third of the citizens live below the poverty level, but that the sanction meid is not getting the help of the West. Hunt, prone to bizarre meid economic decisions (and the generals, for example, at one point decided that the bills be happy only in multiples of nine), is financed thanks to trade with Thailand, China and India, but the money does not come to the population. Ten percent of children do not reach fifth birthday, and half of them do not finish school. The generals have in the past year started to privatization - the right to purchase them have generally tended businessmen.
American Time magazine writes that in addition to a disunited nation, where 40 percent of the population are members of minorities and inter-ethnic tensions meid persist since the British left the 1948th year. Hunt consists almost exclusively members of the Bamar peoples and minorities is prohibited and employment in most public services. The military uses rape as a weapon against the minority, writes Time, and by the people Karen carried out the genocide and enslavement.
Suu Kyi is one of the few p
