What Happened
Myanmar's Senior General Min Aung Hlaing was sworn in as president Friday after winning a landslide parliamentary vote. He seized power in 2021 from Aung San Suu Kyi, triggering civil war and international suspension from ASEAN. Min Aung Hlaing pledged to restore democracy and international relations. Democracy watchdogs dismissed the election as a farce. The ongoing conflict has killed over 96,000 people and displaced 3.6 million.
