The military junta in Myanmar has announced a six-month extension of the state of emergency, signaling continued control over the country's governance. On Friday, the army's information team released a statement confirming the decision.
Led by army chief Min Aung Hlaing, the military council unanimously approved the extension, according to the official statement. This move comes amid ongoing political unrest and efforts by pro-democracy groups to challenge military rule.
The six-month extension reinforces the military's authority and delays any potential transition towards civilian governance. International observers and local activists have expressed concerns over the impact on Myanmar's democracy and the rights of its citizens.
As Myanmar navigates this period of uncertainty, the global community remains watchful of the developments, advocating for peaceful resolutions and the restoration of democratic processes.
