Publicado 2024-07-22
Myanmar's junta chief, Min Aung Hlaing, has declared himself acting president due to the incumbent's medical treatment, as reported by state-controlled media. According to a Monday night broadcast on state-run MRTV, national defense and security responsibilities have been transferred from acting President Myint Swe to Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing. Min Aung Hlaing, who also chairs the State Administration Council, made this move just over a week before the junta’s National Defense and Security Council must decide on extending the state of emergency, which expires on July 31.
