After the outbreak of the coup d’état in Myanmar, people continued to demonstrate and protest in the streets, and the military and police used force to suppress the conflict, the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs (Bureau of Consular Affairs) raised the travel alert for Myanmar to the highest level 4 on the evening of the 12th, advising people to “do not travel. travel”.
The U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Consular Affairs announced on its website that the detention of democratically elected government officials by the Burmese military has sparked protests against the junta’s rule and is expected to continue. The website also mentions that in addition to the nationwide demonstrations in Burma, several areas of the country are under increased threat of internal unrest or armed conflict.
The statement also mentions that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has raised the threat level for the Wuhan pneumonia (novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19) outbreak in Myanmar.
Myanmar’s military coup was reported on January 1, with the arrest of leader Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint, including many senior members of the ruling party. After the outbreak of the incident, the U.S. has repeatedly and publicly condemned the Burmese military and demanded the release of the illegally arrested dignitaries. President Joe Biden also announced on October 10 that he had approved an executive order that would impose new sanctions on those involved in the military coup.
