Two years after seizing power in a coup, Myanmar’s military leaders have extended the country’s state of emergency for another six months.
The move on Wednesday would likely delay elections that the military government had pledged to hold by August.
“Sovereign power of the state has been transferred to the commander in chief again,” acting President Myint Swe said, referring to coup leader Min Aung Hlaing.
State broadcaster MRTV said the National Defence and Security Council had granted Min Aung Hlaing’s request to prolong the state of emergency declared when the army overthrew Aung San Suu Kyi’s democratically elected government on February 1, 2021.
The country is facing growing violence and instability since the military coup in 2021.
