Min Aung Hlaing Formally Sworn In as President Amid Government Reshuffle
Senior General Min Aung Hlaing was sworn in as President of Myanmar on April 10, 2026, and announced his new cabinet on April 11, following a controversial 2025 general election. The junta leader pledged to prioritize national stability and transition toward 'disciplined democracy,' though the move was widely denounced by international observers and opposition groups as a sham. Concurrent with the political shift, revolutionary forces including the People's Defence Force reported ongoing localized clashes and a drone attack on a junta patrol boat.
