United States Voices its Concern over Myanmar Military Coup

United States has voiced its concern over the military coup in Myanmar. “The Myanmar military must reverse these actions immediately,” US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken stated. However, US did not specify what action it would take, should the military decline to withdraw their action.
Blinken added that: “The US stands with the people of Myanmar in their goals for freedom, democracy and development.” He further took swipe with the coup de tat, which America has perceived as a matter of “grave alarm and concern” to their interest.
White House Spokeswoman Jen Psaki stated that US was opposed to the attempt to alter the results of the November elections, which declared Sun Kyi as the winner. The military-backed party alleged that there were massive election irregularities.
US had been encouraging democracy in Myanmar. Washington approved Myanmar democracy in 2010, and six years later, United States under the leadership of Barack Obama lifted economic sanctions against Myanmar.
Myanmar army pledged new elections, after seizing power and detaining San Suu Kyi. Citizens objecting military coup protested the arrest of what they termed as ‘their democratically elected government.’ The protesters alleged that the transitional government had shut off television channels and phone services.
Nobel laureate San Suu Kyi was detained by the military along her fellow leaders of her National League for Democracy Party. The military termed the arrest as a response to ‘election fraud.’ Military Chief Min Aung Hlaing was handed power before he imposed a one-year state of emergence.

How Musk's Neuralink Blindsight will allow the blind to see

  Scientists are still stunned by Elon Musk's plan to enable blind people to see, using his Neurolink's Brain Computer Interface chip dubbed Blindsight. Neurolink has already partnered with top Spanish scientists and US Santa Barbara to make a device called Blindsight, a smart Bionic Eye powered by brain implants and AI. Blindsight got the approval of the US Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA), though there have been no human trials. Musk confided that Neurolink will perform its first human implant of Blindsight at the course of 2025. Will Neurolink's Blindsight allow Blind People to see? Blindsight is designed to enable people with total visual impairment, as a result of damaged optic nerve but with intact visual cortex, to see. This is enhanced by bypassing the optic nerve and stimulating the visual cortex to create a visual perception. Visual cortex is part of the brain that receives, integrates and processes visual information relayed from the retina.  Blindsigh...

Why President Ruto risks being impeached

President William Ruto is treading a dangerous political path. His recent allegations over bribery in parliament might hound him out of office. The president has found himself in a political quagmire over his public expose on rampant graft in parliament. Legislators drawn from the National Assembly and the Senate were astounded by the manner in which the Head of State exposed their nakedness in the public gallery, instead of initiating prosecution process with the relevant mandated authorities. Majority of MPs were of the opinion that the president should have prosecuted his case with the relevant bodies established by the Constitution tasked to deal with corruption cases. National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and his Senate counterpart Amazon Kingi have been directed by a section of MPs to summon the president to shed more light over his aspersions or risk being impeached. Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang' and his Nairobi colleague Edwin Sifuna were irritated by what they...
