That's very surreal. And would be funny if the situation wasn't so serious.

Can someone from that country or who knows what's going on give some insight?

On the face of it, seems like military leaders who don't want to give up control. Is it more complicated than that? Do they actually believe there will be some kind of revolt by one faction if she stays in power (or at least some excuse like that)? The article I saw was not very insightful.

I think this is also the road featured in Top Gear a while back. I know nothing about Myanman politics so I won't wax poetic about anything

> Myanman

Is there an adjectival form of Myanmar? I've been assuming we were stuck with "Burmese" regardless of whether we called it "Burma".

Yes: it's Myanma, so it's the Myanma government.
