Myanmar observed the 74th anniversary of independence hero Gen. Aung San's assassination, with separate commemorations by the military government and opposition groups, underscoring the nation's deep political divisions.
Protests across several cities not only honored Aung San and his slain colleagues but also paid tribute to those killed during recent demonstrations against the military's February takeover.
The anniversary highlighted the ongoing struggle for Aung San's legacy, with both the military and his daughter, Aung San Suu Kyi (currently under arrest), claiming his nationalist ideals amidst the country's persistent turmoil.
