Myanmar's military government removed 24 ministers and vice ministers from the Aung San Suu Kyi government, replaced by designated officials.

Myanmar military television today announced its decision to remove 24 ministers and vice ministers, and announced a list of 11 people appointed to lead ministries including Finance, Health, Information, and Foreign Affairs.

The Myanmar army this morning raided state Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint and senior officials in the ruling party of the National Coalition for Democracy (NLD) in response to charges of "fraud.

Myanmar's military said it was forced to trigger a state of emergency for a year, after "electoral fraud" issues were not resolved and blocked the path to democracy.

Some sources said that Myanmar's military commanders and government officials negotiated on January 31, but failed to reach results, as the government rejected the military's request to postpone the first session of parliament.

"We will practice true democracy ... with full balance and fairness. Power will be transferred after a free, fair general election and the end of the oppression period.
