YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

People in Myanmar are casting their ballots in the first election since a military coup ousted the civilian government in 2021. It's taking place amid a civil war and one of Asia's worst humanitarian crises.

Sunday's voting is the first of three phases of the general election, which has been heavily criticized by the United Nations and Southeast Asia's ASEAN bloc. The ruling military junta claims the process marks the return of democracy, but opponents say the poll is an attempt by the army to try and win legitimacy on the global stage.
