Myanmar junta chief sworn in as president - Dhaka Tribune

Myanmar junta chief sworn in as president. The move comes after the military seized power in a coup last year, ousting the democratically elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi. The junta has since been accused of widespread human rights abuses and of suppressing dissent. The international community has largely condemned the coup and called for the restoration of democracy in Myanmar. The United States and the European Union have imposed sanctions on Myanmar's military leaders and their businesses. The United Nations has also called for an independent investigation into the alleged human rights abuses.
