Fighting in Burma Kills 20 as U.N. Weighs Whether to Recognize Junta or National Unity Government

HeadlineSep 13, 2021

In Burma, at least 20 people have been killed in a new wave of violent clashes between militias and Burmese security forces following the February military coup that ousted the country’s democratically elected government. Since the coup, at least 1,080 people have been killed by the military junta, and over 6,000 arrested. This week, the United Nations is holding its 76th General Assembly, where it could decide whether Burma’s junta or its civilian government will be recognized for a seat at the U.N.
