Six months after seizing power from the elected government, Myanmar’s military leader has repeated his pledge to hold fresh elections in two years and cooperate with Southeast Asian nations on finding a political solution for his country.
“We must create conditions to hold a free and fair multiparty general election,” Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing said during a recorded televised address. “We have to make preparations. I pledge to hold the multiparty general election without fail.”
The military takeover was met with massive public protests that resulted in a lethal crackdown by security forces who routinely fire live ammunition into crowds. The envoy still hasn’t been named amid criticism of lack of commitment from Myanmar’s rulers, and reluctance by its neighbors to interfere in a member’s affairs.
