UN envoy to Myanmar warns that violence puts country on 'path to self-destruction'


UNITED NATIONS: Myanmar is on "a path to self-destruction” if violence in the conflict-wracked South-East Asian nation doesn’t end, the UN envoy warned on Tuesday (June 10).

Julie Bishop (pic) told the UN General Assembly that "alarmingly” the violence didn’t end after a powerful earthquake in late March devastated parts of the capital, Naypyitaw, and the country’s second-largest city, Mandalay, killing more than 3,000 people and injuring thousands more.
