Australia joins list of countries warning Myanmar military against staging coup amid fraud claims
Australia has joined several Western nations in warning Myanmar’s military against staging a coup in the aftermath of an election the army said was fraudulent.
Key points:

- The military said that a constitution should be repealed if it was not abided by
