Thousands seek to leave Myanmar after military service announcement.
YANGON: More than 1,000 people lined up at the Thai embassy in Yangon on Friday (Feb 16) as young people sought to leave Myanmar after the junta said it would impose military service.
The military said last weekend it would enforce a law allowing it to call up all men aged 18 to 35 and women aged 18 to 27 to serve for at least two years as it struggles to quell opposition to its 2021 coup.
