The ruling military council in Myanmar extended its state of emergency for another six months on Friday. The military council headed by army chief Min Aung Hlaing unanimously approved the extension, the council’s information office said in a statement. “All members of National Defense and Security Council including the commander in chief as well as acting president decided in unison for the extension of the state of emergency for another six months according to the section 425 of the 2008 constitution,” the statement read. “There are still more tasks to be done to hold the general election successfully. Especially for a free and fair election, stability and peace is still needed,” state-run Myanmar Digital News said on its Telegram channel in announcing the extension of emergency rule. Myanmar has been in turmoil since February 1, 2021, when the military seized power from the democratically elected National League for Democracy (NLD) government and arrested its hugely popular leader, Aung San Suu Ky.
