President Yoon Suk Yeol faces an impeachment vote this Saturday after briefly imposing martial law in South Korea.
AFP looks at how the dramatic events of the past few days unfolded in a country where democracy had been assumed to be firmly anchored — and what might happen next.
Yoon announced late Tuesday in an address to the nation that martial law was being imposed, for the first time in more than four decades.
The suspension of civilian rule was to protect the country from «threats posed by North Korea's communist forces and to eliminate anti-state elements plundering people's freedom and happiness,» Yoon said.
Then a six-point decree from army chief General Park An-su, installed as martial law commander, banned political activities and parties, «false propaganda», strikes and «gatherings that incite social unrest».
