JAKARTA - Myanmar's military junta revoked its country's security emergency status today, Thursday 31 July. This step is in preparation for the Myanmar elections in December 2025.
Citing AFP, this election plan has been heavily criticized by opposition groups and international monitoring agencies.
Opposition groups, including former lawmakers who were ousted in the coup, have expressly rejected the election.
They view elections as a form of "fraud" designed to legitimize sustainable military rule.
Myanmar's military junta declared a security emergency since February 2021 along with their efforts to overthrow Aung San Suu Kyi's civilian government.
This overthrow of power sparked civil war that involved many parties and has claimed thousands of lives.
Since the overthrow of power, Myanmar's military junta leader, Min Aung Hlaing, has been given the highest power over the legislature, executive, and judicial.
But on the one hand, Min Aung Hlaing recently called elections a way out of conflict in his country.
