    INTERNATIONAL NEWS: Myanmar protests in 2nd week, with neither side backing down

    Mass street demonstrations in Myanmar entered their second week Saturday, with neither protesters nor the military government they seek to unseat showing any signs of backing down from confrontations.


    Protesters in Yangon, the country’s biggest city, again congregated at Hleden intersection, a key crossroads from which groups fanned out to other points, including the embassies of the United States and China.


    They marched despite an order banning gatherings of five or more people.


    The U.S., especially after President Joe Biden announced sanctions against the military regime, is regarded as an ally in the protesters’ struggle against the February 1 coup.


    China is detested as an ally of the ruling generals, whose support is crucial to them keeping their grip on power.


    Demonstrations also resumed in Myanmar’s second-biggest city, Mandalay, with lawyers making up one large contingent.


    The military ousted the country’s leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, and her government and prevented recently elected lawmakers from opening a new session of Parliament.


    Suu Kyi and other senior members of her government and party remain in detention.


    The junta, led by Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, said it was forced to act because Suu Kyi’s government failed to properly investigate allegations of fraud in last year’s election, which her National League for Democracy party won in a landslide.
