UN special envoy to step down


THE United Nations special envoy for Myanmar will step down in June, a spokesman for the UN chief said, after an 18-month tenure in which she was criticised by the junta and its opponents.

Myanmar has been in turmoil since the military seized power in February 2021, ending a brief democratic experiment and sparking clashes with ethnic rebel groups and anti-coup fighters.
