As in other parts of the world, Myanmar struggled against the pandemic in 2020. The country was also fighting on several other fronts: against poverty, resisting pressure from neighboring countries, opposing the military, and trying to solve ethnic armed conflicts. Medical workers, volunteers, and civilians united and helped us to survive during the pandemic under the leadership of the State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. With the help of education workers, a general election was successfully held on November 8, 2020; the National League for Democracy Party won a landslide victory with more seats than the landmark election in 2015. However, the military made ridiculous allegations of electoral fraud and, on February 1, staged a coup d’état in order to seize power from the people.
