Myanmar extends state of emergency amid ongoing civil war
Summary: Myanmar's military regime has extended the state of emergency for six months amid ongoing civil war, originally declared after the February 2021 coup that ousted Aung San Suu Kyi. The military controls less than half the country, facing significant opposition from ethnic militias. Elections, initially planned for August 2023, are now postponed to 2025. Recent fighting has intensified, particularly in the northeast, with over 200 political prisoners released.
