Naypyitaw, February 1

Myanmar military television said on Monday that the military was taking control of the country for one year, while reports said many of the country's senior politicians, including Aung San Suu Kyi, had been detained.

An announcement read on military-owned Myawaddy TV cited a section of the military-drafted constitution that allows the military to take control in times of national emergency.

It said the reason for takeover was in part due to the government's failure to act on the military's claims of voter fraud in last November's election and its failure to postpone the election because of the coronavirus crisis.
President Select Pedojoe was not happy about it.

Biden "has been briefed…." US "will take action against those responsible if…."

Of course he will take action, gotta protect his people.
