reported that the
US government ordered the withdrawal of diplomats in Myanmar and other non-essential officials and families in the country.
The news agency said the U.S. State Department has ordered withdrawal due to instability in the situation in Myanmar.
The U.S. government previously issued an order permitting voluntary withdrawal of local employees on the 14th of last month, which was raised again.
In addition, the US government has warned its citizens not to travel to Myanmar, saying that armed violence could occur in Myanmar.
The U.S. government also criticized human rights violations in Myanmar in a national human rights report released today (31st).
The U.S. government previously put pressure on the Myanmar military, saying it would halt the implementation of a trade agreement signed with Myanmar in 2013.
With the UN Security Council urgently convening to discuss the situation in Myanmar, the possibility of the Myanmar crisis leading to civil war is growing.
In connection with the anti-coup protesters sending an open letter to minority armed groups to help, there are also claims that the Myanmar military is launching a massive assault against minority armed groups.
The Karen People's Union, a minority rebel group in southeastern Myanmar, says thousands of government troops are advancing into their territory, saying the conflict is inevitable.
