Supporters of the Myanmar military and the military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party hold placards that read "Do not accept interference by foreign countries. Wipe out those relying on external elements." as they continue to protest election results during a rally near Shwedagon pagoda Saturday, Jan. 30, 2021, in Yangon, Myanmar. Myanmar’s military has denied that controversial statements by its chief were meant as a threat to stage a coup, claiming the media had misinterpreted his words. Political tension soared this past week after the military said it could not rule out a coup if its complaints of widespread voting fraud in last November’s election were ignored.
