What's happening in Myanmar? A SIMPLE explainer | Newsround

The military in Myanmar has seized control of the country and declared a year-long state of emergency. The country's current leader Aung San Suu Kyi - who won an official and fair election - has been removed from power and arrested and now the army troops are patrolling the streets and a night-time curfew is in force. The UK and US, as well as the United Nations, have criticised and opposed the military seizing power. In a statement, Aung San Suu Kyi urged her supporters to "not accept this" and "protest against the coup". What is a 'coup'? This is when people illegally take action to overthrow the government of a country - and often use violence or threats to make it happen. They normally do this because they are not happy with how the country is run and want to take power themselves. Coup comes from the French phrase coup d'état which means: a strike against the state.
