Yvette Cooper Warns Myanmar Crisis Worsening After 5 Years Coup
UK's Yvette Cooper warns Myanmar's crisis is worsening after five years of military rule.
On 1 Feb 2026, UK foreign secretary Yvette Cooper warned that Myanmar is in a deepening crisis, five years after the military coup that removed Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi on 1 Feb 2021. The UK has supplied humanitarian aid to over 1.4 million people and 1.3 million with health services, yet half of the country’s children are now out of school and women face ongoing violence. The UN reports 3.6 million displaced, while the military’s elections, held after a first ballot on 28 Dec 2025, were neither free nor fair, with 170 air‑strike deaths and ~400 arrests. Cooper calls on the regime to end air strikes, allow unhindered aid, release all political prisoners, and restore democracy.
