Myanmar’s army declared a state of emergency on Monday as it carried out detentions of senior government leaders in response to alleged fraud during November’s general election.

A video address broadcast on military-owned television said power had been handed to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing.

Here is the statement read out on Myawaddy Television (MWD):

“The voter lists which were used during the multi-party general election which was held on the 8th of November were found to have huge discrepancies and the Union Election Commission (UEC) failed to settle this matter.
Although the sovereignty of the nation must derive from the people, there was terrible fraud in the voter list during the democratic general election which runs contrary to ensuring a stable democracy.

A refusal to settle the issue of voter list fraud and a failure to take action and follow a request to postpone lower-house and upper-house parliament sessions is not in accordance with Article 417 of the 2018 constitution that refers to ‘acts or attempts to take over the sovereignty of the Union by wrongful forcible means’ and could lead to a disintegration of national solidarity.
Due to such acts, there have been a lot of protests going on in townships and cities in Myanmar to demonstrate their mistrust toward UEC.

Other parties and people have also been found conducting different kinds of provocations including displaying flags which are very damaging to national security.

Unless this problem is resolved, it will obstruct the path to democracy and it must therefore be resolved according to the law.

Therefore, the state of emergency is declared in accordance with Article 417 of the 2008 constitution.

In order to perform scrutiny of the voter lists and to take action, the authority of the nation’s law making, governance and jurisdiction is handed over to the commander in chief in accordance with the 2008 constitution Article 418, sub article (a).

The state of emergency is effective nationwide and the duration of the state of emergency is set for one year, starting from the date this order is announced in line with Article 417 of the 2008 constitution.”

Arise o compatriots ! Nigerians call obey!

Well it’s good that it’s a bloodless coup

This is nothing new.

They have simply come back to take what rightfully belongs to them.

You can't take Myanmar away from the military. The two are simply inseparable. And you can take that to the bank any time, any day.

Lalasticlala, this is the home of the Burmese python. I thought you should know.

Q.E.D

You have closed the case

Aun San is an islamophobic genocidal dictator who failed to defend human rights issues in her country. Big blow to democracy but the military is doing the right thing for it's citizens. I believe they will eventually handover power when they conduct a credible election.

Nigeria can learn

Terrible,in this 21 century military rule is no longer fashionable ,Army don't have any business with leadership of a nation ,we have even tried formal generals in the person of obj and buharia ,they both failed,we should stop voting Ex soldiers into power...

[quote author=agboola93862 post=98642944]Arise o compatriots ! Nigerians call obey![/calm down ,it not happening here ,we are too divided to achieve it

Another shithole country. After so many years of oppression & house arrest, you would think Aung San Suu Kyi would know better. But that lady fall hand big time, she now became the oppressor.

All these noise we like making, give someone small power and see their behaviour change.
