The military remains politically powerful and oversees security operations, but Suu Kyi is still seen by Washington as key to sustaining civilian rule and eventually addressing the Rohingya's long-term grievances. A rising Buddhist nationalism has fanned the flames, led by hard-line monks who scream that Muslims want to overtake the country.

Suu Kyi once said, "It is not power that corrupts, but fear. We pray for you to intervene in the escalating crisis and guide your people back towards the path of righteousness", Desmond Tutu said.
"It is also an issue of security and economic development", Thet Thet Khine said. "Getting elected", she said.
Others gave up on her long ago. "I can not believe. I am so disappointed on how she has behaved". In 1995 she met her husband in Myanmar for the last time, four years before his death from cancer.
