UNITED NATIONS (AN) — A week after his nation's powerful military tried to remove him, Myanmar’s U.N. Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun remained in his post due to the resignation of a military-appointed replacement, the chief U.N. spokesman said on Thursday.
Tun broke ranks with Myanmar's military generals and sided with elected civilian leaders in a speech to the U.N. General Assembly on February 26, when he called for the international community to "use any means necessary" to oppose the February 1 military coup.
