Biden’s first foreign policy address, urges Myanmar Military to reverse the coup
Kathmandu. February 6. The President of the United States Joe Biden on Thursday urged the Defence Services of Myanmar to let go of the powers and release the officials, leaders and activists detained in the coup.
Earlier on Monday, the military of Myanmar claimed that the national multiparty general elections held on November 8 were against the law. In charge of election fraud, the military arrested top ruling leaders including State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, President U Win Myint and several regional and state ministers. The state announced a one-year emergency period.
As the military took control over legislative, executive and judicial powers, a major cabinet reshuffle was announced. 24 ministers and their deputies were removed from their post and a new union cabinet was appointed for 11 ministries.
Since the day of the coup, Washington has been threatening the military authorities to reverse their actions or they will have to face unspecified consequences.
Myanmar had recently gained independence from martial law in 2011 A.D. But, even after the shift to democracy, the military had retained much of the supreme powers in the constitution.
