  1. မဂ်လာညနေခင်းပါလို့ဂုဏါယူလေးစားစွာနှုတ်ခွန်းဆတါတသပါတယ် စစ်ဦးစီးချုပ်ရှင့် 😌🙏🌲

  2. This was not a coup d’état, but a transfer of power due to the vacancy of the presidency. The Constitutional High Court appointed Colonel Randrianirina as the transitional president after former President Rajoelina fled the country with the help of French military personnel, fearing that the army — which no longer wanted to follow orders to suppress and fire on the population — might turn against him. There was no attack on the presidential palace, nor were any regime supporters arrested. It’s also worth noting that ambassadors were present at the colonel’s inauguration. Only the African Union referred to the event as a coup.
