RFA The big brother that Myanmar s military doesn t trust China
Myanmar’s U.N. envoy from the deposed civilian government made a dramatic appeal on Friday for the world body to “use any means necessary to take action” to restore democracy and ensure the security of the people, while the junta that seized power nearly a month ago nullified the results of the 2020 democratic elections.
Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun addressed the 193-member U.N. General Assembly after Christine Schraner Burgener, the U.N. secretary-general’s special envoy on Myanmar, said the world had “a collective responsibility towards the people of Myanmar” to help restore democracy in the wake of the Feb. 1 overthrow of Aung San Su Kyi’s elected government over unsubstantiated election fraud claims.
