YANGON: Referring to the chaos in Myanmar as the “darkest moment” in the country’s history, the acting leader of Myanmar’s parallel civilian government said it will seek to give people the legal right to defend themselves.
The comments from the leader come after the death toll in protests against last month’s coup exceeded 80, according to an advocacy group.
