WATCH: CNA's cameraman captures footage of police charging towards crowd in Myanmar, with shots and smoke in the background

Myanmar’s crisis took a dramatic turn Friday on the international stage when the country’s ambassador to the United Nations at a special session of the General Assembly declared his loyalty to the ousted civilian government of Aung San Suu Kyi and called on the world to pressure the military to cede power.

"This revolution must win," he said, flashing at the end the three-finger salute that has become a symbol of resistance against the junta. Army chief General Min Aung Hlaing now holds legislative, executive and judicial powers in Myanmar - effectively halting the country's 10-year experiment with democracy.
