Myanmar junta extends state of emergency to support election preparations
Myanmar's ruling military has extended a state of emergency for another six months, state media reported on Friday, a day ahead of the four-year anniversary of a coup that plunged the country into chaos after a decade of tentative democracy.
The Rohingya crisis began in August 2017 when violence in Myanmar's Rakhine state forced nearly one million Rohingya Muslims to flee to Bangladesh.
