YANGON Two people including the local chair of the ousted National League for Democracy (NLD) in Magwe were hacked to death by a group of military-aligned Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) members on Friday, local residents said.
The attack by the USDP members came after villagers protested against military council members when they visited villages in Pwint Phyu Township. An NLD member in Khaung Gone Village told The Irrawaddy, “When members of the military council came, USDP members welcomed them. So, there was a small fight between the two sides.”

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.

YANGON Local residents in some regions and states are staging protests against new ward administrators appointed by the Myanmar military regime that seized power on Feb. 1.
