00:00Welcome back. Myanmar's President Min Aulang has issued new emergency ordinances saying they are aimed at tightening security and maintaining
00:09stability.
00:10The measures cover 60 townships where curfews and restrictions have remained in place since the 2021 military coup.
00:19State media says the 90-day emergency is needed to end armed terrorism and restore the rule of law.
00:26Under the orders, all executive and judicial powers in the affected areas will be transferred to Military Chief Ye Win
00:33Woo.
00:34The move marks Min Aulang's first major step to consolidate control since becoming President.
00:40After seizing power in 2021, the junta he led imposed a nationwide state of emergency, extending it multiple times before
00:48elections last year that critics say were neither free nor fair.
