YANGON (Bloomberg): Myanmar’s parliament, ousted by the military Feb. 1, plans to set up a national unity government in the first week of April, according to a statement by a parallel administration of key allies of detained civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

The new government will be a coalition of all democratic forces under the terms of the Federal Democracy Charter and a collective leadership, according to Wednesday’s (March 31) statement. The caretaker vice president, Mahn Win Khaing Than, and acting ministers "will continue to carry out their responsibilities before the formation of the government.”
