Military control in parts of Yangon, Myanmar
Xinhua News Agency, Yangon, March 14 (Reporter Che Hongliang and Zhang Dongqiang) The Myanmar National Management Committee announced on the evening of the 14th that it will implement military control in some areas of Yangon.
According to information released by the National Management Committee of Myanmar, some factories in the two townships of Laydaya and Ripida in Yangon were set on fire on the same day. Firefighters were blocked by the crowd causing trouble when they rushed to the scene.
In order to effectively maintain stability and the rule of law, it was decided to implement military control in these two regions, and the military chief of the Yangon region is responsible for exercising administrative and judicial powers.
Myanmar held federal parliamentary elections in November last year, and the National League for Democracy (NLD) won more than half of the federal parliamentary seats.
The Burmese military and the NLD had differences over the results of the general election. The military believed that there was fraud in the general election and requested the Election Committee to investigate and postpone the convening of a new federal parliament meeting.
In the early morning of February 1 this year, Myanmar President Win Min, State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi and some senior officials of the Democratic League were detained by the military.
The Myanmar military subsequently declared a one-year state of emergency, and national power was transferred to the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces Min Aung Lai.
On February 2, the National Management Committee of Myanmar was established, with Min Aung Lai as the chairman of the committee.
