Myanmar junta proxy party opens offices
None
A political party backed by Myanmar's ruling junta opened offices across the country Friday, months after the main opposition group was forced to close theirs, as preparations begin for a general election in November.
A spokesman for the Union Solidarity and Development Party said it had opened its headquarters in administrative capital of Naypyitaw and other branches across the country, including 50 township, district and division offices in Yangon, the country's biggest city. The party is led by Prime Minister Thein Sein. (AP)
