Nat Thit Ku

The anniversary of Myanmar's independence from Britain on January 4, 1948, when General Aung San's dream of a free Burma was realized after his assassination. The celebration includes a military parade, the president's address, and the flying of the Myanmar flag in yellow, green, and red with a white star. The day carries both celebration and reflection, because independence was followed by decades of military rule from 1962 to 2011, and the transition to democracy remains fragile.
