Southeast Asian foreign ministers expressed disappointment at the meeting in China on Monday at the “very slow” progress made by Myanmar on its proposal for ending the turmoil since the army overthrew elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi on February 1. The minister had said that most of these points had been met including preventive Covid-19 measures and setting up a new election commission to look into alleged fraud during a November election swept by Suu Kyi's party, the paper said.
The security forces have killed at least 849 protesters, a rights group says, though the army disputes that figure, and insurgencies in several regions have flared. Opponents of the junta have shown increasing frustration at Asean’s inability to press the junta and its failure to include other political stakeholders, particularly the ousted government. The junta has branded its opponents “terrorists”.
