From frigid quiet to outraged sorrow, a few hours on Minneapolis street where agents killed man

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Saturday morning started frigid and quiet on Minneapolis' "Eat Street," a stretch of road south of downtown famous for its small coffee shops and restaurants ranging from New American to Vietnamese.

Critics say the polls are neither free not fair, and are designed to legitimize the power of the military after it ousted the elected civilian government of Aung San Suu Kyi in February 2021.

The army-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party, or USDP, has already won most of the seats... Read More
