The extent and depth of anger in the country must, however, raise a serious question mark over their prospects for success in the medium term. 26 The dramatic events of 2007 in Myanmar: domestic and international implications References Houtman, Gustaaf 1999, ‘Mental culture in Burmese crisis politics’, Monograph Series, vol. 33, Institute for the Study of Languages and Cultures of Asia and Africa.

Ye Myint is considered to be close to Maung Aye (Callahan 2007). 13 Than Shwe was disappointed with Nyunt Tin’s testimony, which Maung Aye also learned about. Than Shwe fainted after the testimony and stayed in bed for days, not going to his office (Jagan 2005). General Maung Aye appeared to use his involvement in the clean-government campaign as a reason for continuing to stay in the military and not retiring. He seemed to be hoping that Than Shwe would retire because of health problems or possibly even die, giving Maung Aye a chance to replace him.
The growing popularity of the third-highest ranking officer, Military Intelligence Chief and Prime Minister General Khin Nyunt, made Than Shwe uncomfortable. 7 He also encouraged engagement with the international community and the opposition, including the NLD. Than Shwe, however, appeared to see the opposition as an enemy and an obstacle to his achieving absolute power. According to many reports, Than Shwe hates Aung San Suu Kyi and he does not even want to hear her name (Jagan 2003). In 2004, Khin Nyunt and his military intelligence officers were purged.
