The US, UK, Japan and Australia have condemned the Myanmar military junta’s decision to dissolve the party of imprisoned former leader Aung San Suu Kyi, with Washington warning that the regime’s push for elections will lead to increased instability.
State department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel told reporters that the US strongly condemned the announcement by the Myanmar military abolishing 40 political parties, including Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD).
