The UN special envoy for Myanmar has warned that the country faces the possibility of civil war "at an unprecedented scale". Christine Schraner Burgener has urged the UN Security Council to consider "potentially significant action" to reverse the February 1 military coup and restore democracy. Schraner Burgener didn't specify what action she considered significant, but warned that the country "is on the verge of spiralling into a failed state". She cited figures from Myanmar's Assistance Association for Political Prisoners that as of Wednesday, over 2,700 people have been arrested, charged or sentenced since the coup and an estimated 536 have been killed.
