Burmese general resigns ending Than Shwe’s influence

Suu Kyi and 42 other members of her party took their seats in parliament last
week following a historic by-election in a year of dramatic reforms in the
former British colony also known as Burma.

In 2009, Tin Aung Myint Oo was appointed military adviser to then-Senior
General Than Shwe. He was elected to the lower house a year later as a
candidate for the army-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party, and
was quickly nominated as vice president by military delegates.
