Myanmar 's ruling military junta seizing the aftermath of a deadly earthquake as an opportunity to regain control amid a grueling civil war.

The massive 7.7 magnitude earthquake two weeks ago , one of the strongest to hit Myanmar in a century , jolted a nation already devastated by a brutal civil war that displaced millions and decimated its economy.

Just hours after the quake, the ruling junta declared a state of emergency in some quake-hit cities and issued a plea for international aid.

U.N. human rights office: Military junta blocked aid supplies to quake-hit areas near epicenter controlled by anti-government forces.

The natural disaster has prompted the ostracized junta leader to engage with leaders from neighboring nations such as China , India and Southeast Asia .

Min Aung Hlaing reportedly said at last Friday's summit that the planned elections in December 2025 would proceed despite the disaster.
