UN Report finds Myanmar military junta “can’t be ignored”

A UN report has found Myanmar’s military Junta cannot be ignored and left out of peace talks

The report comes exactly a year after the Junta seized control of the nation, and ousted it’s leader Aung San Sue Chi.

The Former Secretary-General of the UN says that while military is not legitimate, that doesn’t mean “they have no role”.

It comes in the wake of statements by the pro-democracy shadow government who insists that the military should be totally excluded from any talks about the future of the country.

Since the Myanmar military took power in February last year, more than 1,400 people have been killed, and at least 12,000 more imprisoned.

There has also been an increase in hunger and poverty as escalating violence has led to the closure of many businesses and factories. 

The news comes as the country’s former leader faces election fraud charges

A court in the ‘military-ruled Myanmar’ will start the election fraud trial of deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi on February 14.

Suu Kyi faces trial in more than a dozen cases and so far has been sentenced to a combined six years in detention for some offences.

Her ongoing legal proceedings have been labeled by some in the international community as a “sham.”

She has denied the army’s accusations of influencing the election in 2020 poll swept by her party.
