The Myanmar ambassador was fired for speaking out against the army

News Desk: Myanmar's ambassador to the United Nations Kiao Moe Tun has called on the United Nations to remove its military from power. In a statement to the UN, the ambassador said no one should cooperate with Myanmar's military government until the democratically elected government is returned to power. A day later, the country's military ruler fired him, the BBC reported.

The media reported that the country's military said it had "betrayed the country and called for an organization not recognized by the government that does not represent the country.

" He has abused the 'power and responsibility' of the ambassador. Meanwhile, protests against the military coup have been going on in the country since the beginning. But on Saturday (February 28th), the country's security forces took a tough stance. One woman was injured in the firing. Several protesters were arrested on the day.

Myanmar has been embroiled in protests since the army seized power on February 1, ousting top government leaders, including the country's elected leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. The country is almost at a standstill.
