Myanmar Junta Chief Min Aung Hlaing Elected President

Government-critical narrative

Electing Min Aung Hlaing president is a sham that fools nobody — a coup leader simply swapping military fatigues for a civilian title doesn't erase responsibility for war crimes, mass killings and the displacement of over 3 million people. The rigged December and January elections were a rubber stamp for a man who already coveted power, and the international community must enforce ICC arrest warrants rather than legitimize this farce.
