Myanmar Army Chief Vows Decisive Action Against Foes and Resistance

Myanmar's military leader, Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, called for decisive action against those fighting army rule of the country during a military parade on Armed Forces Day. The military has been accused of indiscriminate killings of civilians as it engages in major offensives to suppress the armed resistance opposed to its takeover of the government two years ago. The opposition to military rule is led by a self-styled National Unity Government, or NUG, which was established by elected lawmakers who were denied their seats by the army and stakes a claim to being the country’s legitimate administration.
