About

Naypyidaw is the capital city of Myanmar, where a military junta led by Senior General Min Aung Hlaing has been in power since a coup in 2021. The city has seen significant developments recently, including the swearing-in of Min Aung Hlaing as president and the organization of elections that have been widely condemned by the international community. The city's ageing railway stations have also become busy hubs for commuters due to rising fuel prices. Meanwhile, the junta-proxy parliament has convened for the first time since the 2021 coup, with a new parliament expected to convene next week. These events highlight the ongoing political instability and challenges facing Myanmar under the junta's leadership.
