Aung San Suu Kyi announces alliance with Shwe Mann


Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has announced that she will form an alliance with Shwe Mann, the ousted chairman of the governing Union Solidarity and Development Party.


She was speaking as parliament reopened on Tuesday for its last session before November's national elections.


Last week Shwe Mann was dramatically removed from his position.


His dismissal was seen as an emphatic move by President Thein Sein to tighten his political grip ahead of the vote.


Speaking while MPs gathered in the capital Nay Pyi Taw for a final round of parliamentary meetings before the 8 November vote, Ms Suu Kyi said that Shwe Mann's dismissal by the president on Wednesday made it clear "who is the enemy and who is the ally".
