(Reuters) - United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Friday he was following with great concern developments in Myanmar, where military threats and coup fears have overshadowed the planned opening of parliament.
Escalating tension between the civilian government and the powerful military has stirred fears of a coup in the aftermath of an election the army says was fraudulent.
The army has said it plans to take action if its complaints about the election are not addressed and a spokesman this week declined to rule out the possibility of seizing power.
