Guterres: 'The situation in Myanmar is an unending nightmare for the people and a threat to peace and security across the region.'

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres speaks at a press conference during the Association of South-East Asian Nations Summit in Phnom Penh on Saturday, November 12, 2022. - AFP

The escalating crisis dominated a summit of the Association of South-East Asian Nations regional bloc, which has led so far fruitless diplomatic efforts to end the bloodshed. After meeting Asean leaders, Guterres said it was vital that a peace plan agreed with the junta -- but so far not enforced -- came into effect.In a reminder of the daily horrors faced by the Myanmar people, residents and media on Friday accused the junta of burning houses and killing at least five civilians in a raid on a village in western Rakhine state.

Increasingly frustrated Asean leaders on Friday tasked their foreign ministers with coming up with a concrete plan to implement the consensus. US President Joe Biden will use talks with Asean leaders later Saturday to urge them to keep pushing the junta to end the violence.
