NAYPYIDAW — Myanmar's military government extended a four-year emergency rule, further delaying plans for long-promised general elections as a civil war rages on.


The National Defence and Security Council extended a state of emergency for another six months until July 31, according to a government statement on Friday. The move allows junta chief Min Aung Hlaing to retain control over the Southeast Asian country grappling with an economy battered by the civilian conflict and United States sanctions.
