Q1: Why does this article describe Aung San Suu Kyi as a former state counsellor? Is she not still the duly elected leader of Myanmar?

A1: Because reliable sources state she was removed from office in the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia reflects these sources, which may not align with editors' own views on the matter. The threshold for inclusion of material in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. Wikipedia is not a place to right great wrongs, such as by determining who the rightful leader of Myanmar is based on legal principles.
