Political observers are wondering why Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has been silent although she should make comments about the current political crisis.

They think that the current political crisis would be resolved to some extent if she made a comment about it.

He thinks that her comments are not available because the situation may be too complicated for her to make assessments or she has been prohibited from communicating with people outside prison, Ethnic Leader Col Khun Okkar told the CNI.

He said, "I think the situation is too complicated for her to make assessments. Another factor is that she might have been denied access to the outside world and communication channels might have been blocked. So, her comments are not available."

Currently, there are disagreements between exile members of the National League for Democracy in liberated areas and their counterparts who are still in the country.

The State Administration Council enacted the new political parties registration law on 31 January, which requires political parties to re-register within 60 days from the enactment of the law or face dissolution.

The stance of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi can only be known when there are mediating individuals and organizations, Chairman Dr Aye Maung of the Arakan Front Party told the CNI.

He said, "Will the NLD try to meet Daw Aung San Suu Kyi? How can we make a voice heard by the SAC? We need mediation. Otherwise, it is difficult to hear her voice. It is difficult for Daw Sandar Min and U Toe Lwin to meet her. Will the International Committee of the Red Cross mediate? I think the NLD will have to decide whether they will register again. They have a large number of offices in the entire country. The future political situation depends on the capabilities of the mediator."

China seems to be mediating in the peace process of Myanmar but the Chinese approach will be different from western countries, which support the NUG., he added.

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has been silent because she may be taking the time to play a role in the political crisis, a political party leader said.

The military detained NLD leaders including Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and U Win Myint  on 1st February, 2021 after accusing them of attempting to form a new government without settling voters' list disputes.

Then, the military declared a state of emergency and formed the SAC to run administrative, judicial and legislative functions.

As a result, the NUG, the PDF and the LDF have launched an armed struggle to topple the junta.
