The European Union has threatened Myanmar’s military with sanctions following a military coup.
“It is an unacceptable attempt to forcibly overturn the will of the people of Myanmar,’’ foreign affairs chief, Josep Borrell said in a statement on behalf of the European Union on Tuesday.
“The European Union expects that the safety of the citizens of both Myanmar and of its member states be ensured at all times and will consider all options at its disposal to ensure that democracy prevails,’’ he said.
