YANGON Following its coup d’etat on Monday, the military regime in Myanmar has formed a new cabinet largely made up of generals and ex-military officials, along with some members of its political proxy party, the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP).
The armed forces have detained Union President U Win Myint, State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and other elected civilian leaders since staging a takeover in the early hours of Monday.
