You're quoting the first part of that article, but ignoring the entire conclusion - she was a willing enabler of the genocide.

"But now that the military establishment has moved to accommodate the Burmese pro-democracy movements in the country, oppression of so-called Muslim foreigners like the supposedly Bengali Rohingya is perfectly acceptable along the path toward building an exclusionary Buddhist nation-state."

This coup shows how meaningless that "accommodation" really was - no major break with military policy would have been tolerated anyway.
