Protesters marked the two-year anniversary of Myanmar's military coup with a ‘silent strike’ in major cities and rallies overseas, as exiled civilian leaders vowed to end what they called the army's ‘illegal power grab’
The army's National Defence and Security Council met on Tuesday where it discussed the situation in Myanmar including the actions of the National Unity Government , a shadow administration formed by opponents, and the so-called people's defence force fighting the army, state media reported.
The constitution allows for two extensions, though some sections appear to give more flexibility on the issue. In Thailand, hundreds of protesters held a rally outside the Myanmar embassy in Bangkok, while activists also staged a protest in the Philippine's capital, Manila. Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party was decimated by the coup, with thousands of its members arrested or jailed, including Suu Kyi, and many more in hiding.
